I'd buy an XC60 T6 Inscription AWD... Actually, that's exactly what I did. My wife loves the XC40, but I won't buy one due to lack of ventilated seats. If Volvo added that feature to the XC40 then we'd be a two-Volvo family.
👍 POSITIVE
If I was looking for a “fun” car I doubt it would be a Volvo. Don’t get me wrong. I love our Volvo’s. They are fun to drive as my daily. I traded in my 2011 S60 T6 for a new XC40 RDesign T5 W/ the Polestar tune. It’s a great small SUV.
👍 POSITIVE
I'd go with the XC40. As much as I love my 2010 XC60, I've been seriously eyeing up the XC40.
👍 POSITIVE
It's funny you traded a Mazda for a Volvo XC60 because I did something similar. I was buying my first car and settled on a Mazda CX-5 and loved it, but after a week the check engine light came on, when I took it back to the dealership(Volvo/Mazda joint) turns out I just forgot to tighten the fuel cap (first car) but they had a 09 VolvoXC90 on the lot and I just loved it. The dealership let me trad
😐
I'll pick the Tucson since I'm a Koreaboo and the Tucson looks like a starship to me. >Volvo CX60 The CX-60 is a Mazda, do you mean the XC60?
👍 POSITIVE
Y for a XC 60 T8 ‘25 and it is weird to drive an actual real car again… took it for a spin from LA to the grand canyon and i fell completely in love with it man… so comfortable
👍 POSITIVE
Thank you for trading it, and posting. I adore my XC60 T8 R-Design so much, hope yours brings you lots of joy!
👎 NEGATIVE
I sold my Model Y for an XC60 PHEV. Because it was out of warranty and costing me $$ in repairs.

Very stealthy machine. Congrats. Those wheels look fantastic too.
