Volvo S60 (2012)

Tuesday, 01 May 2012 09:56 PM The 2012 Volvo S60 T6 R-Design boasts a 3-liter turbocharged I6 engine, producing 325 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. It accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and features a sport-tuned chassis with stiffer springs and bushings. The R-Design package also includes a new steering wheel, shifter, and sport pedals. I think this version of the S60 is a significant step up in terms of performance and style.

Sunday, 15 April 2012 10:05 AM Volvo faced several recalls for the 2012 S60, including one for a fuel pump software issue that could cause engine hesitation and possible engine stall. Another recall was for a potential fuel leak that could lead to a fire. These issues were promptly addressed by Volvo dealers. I believe these recalls highlight the importance of regular software updates and rigorous testing.

Tuesday, 20 March 2012 07:40 AM The 2012 Volvo S60 T5 came with a 250-horsepower, 2.5-liter turbocharged I5 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. It featured a range of luxury and high-tech features, including the Volvo Sensus infotainment system and advanced safety technologies like adaptive cruise control and pedestrian detection. The car also had a Multimedia package that included navigation and a premium sound system. I think the Sensus system was a game-changer for Volvo in terms of user interface.

Friday, 10 February 2012 09:35 AM Owners of the 2012 Volvo S60 reported several reliability issues, including excessive oil consumption, oil pressure warnings, and PCV problems. These issues sometimes led to engine failure, which Volvo did not recall or fix. Other problems included air and water leaks, particularly around the windshield and sunroof. I believe these issues are a concern for potential buyers looking for long-term reliability.
