Hi all,

Tried out this morning a used V60 CPO 2017 wagon, Auto FWD. Liked it quite a bit.

***Wanna know how miles/range does it show when you fill up tank completely?

Other than that, nny note worthy issues to know about on the 2017s?

Thanks!

 

I'm a long time Volvo driver - 1960 122s, 1976 265, 2003 V70T, 2009 V70 3.2L and my current car, 2015.5 V60 Platinum - bought used as a Volvo "Certified" used car. I believe the 2015.5 and the 2017 are very similar. The 2018 is completely different.

I have only had the car for about a month but here are my impressions so far:

Road behavior - handling, responsiveness, feedback - the best of them all
Comfort - equal to the 2009 V70 3.2L (that is to say, excellent) - better than the others
Fuel economy - appears to be the best but I've only filled the tank once so no real data
Capacity - smaller than the 2003, 2009 cars - more like a large 4 door hatchback than a traditional wagon - fine for my needs YMMV
Electronics - a whole different world - my 2009 had a bluetooth phone connection, the others just car controls. Some I find useful (built-in GPS with internet downloadable updates, rear camera, blind spot warning, access to and control of various functions) Some I ignore or don't use - cruise control, radio, internet connection (ATT 3G) Some I don't like and turn off - auto engine start/stop for traffic driving, auto headlight dipping (too easily activated by streetlights and reflections) and a couple of "gotcha's" Speedo and Tach but not separate dials, no oil pressure or charge gauges (but that is today's dumbed down world) and finally, a real "why did they do that?" - no dipstick - you check the oil level from a dashboard function.

All in all, I'm very pleased with my decision. If it holds up as well as the others, it will remain at the top of the list. BTW, the bottom of the list is the 1976 265. It carried the unfortunate Volvo-Renault-Peugot V6 After years of injector problems and hearing the they commonly ate their camshafts by 50,000 mile, I dumped it (for a 1981 Benz 300D that I drove for 13 years)

Hope this is useful

 

I bought a slightly used 2015.5 v60 platinum about 6 weeks ago and like it alot. Upon fill up my distance to empty shows about 525 miles - - - - after that I believe range is calculated on recent MPG numbers and yes it will fluctuate based on your driving trips length

 

I would never buy another Volvo. #1 they have serious oil consumption issues. In addition they do not warn you when the oil is low. #2 they do not provide basic repair instruction /manual with out paying a high dollars for the information. You are almost forced to go to a stealerership. Why buy a Volvo with very limited reliability when a Toyota will give you years or trouble free, safe and comfortable transportation. I will never buy another one.
