Are XC60 owners happy?

Good to know they can get to those sort of mileages without significant trouble, albeit you've done it in a relatively short space of time - just hope the new VEA D4 proves to be as reliable.

I dont know - give me an XC60 and I'll find out

Well after 16 months of onwership, I have covered 25000 miles, to add to the 8000 it had at purchase at 5 months old.

Just rellaced the front tyres, not going to moan at 33000 miles on them. Overall fuel consumption sitting at 32pmg, the same as my previous Scirocco 2.0tsi.

Only real criticism is that the leather is too easily marked, the VW leather in the scirocco was unmarked at 45000, the volvo drivers seat looks very used.

So second service coming up probably at 22months old....

Too early for me to say, being a month down the line and 1500 miles. Found the dealer I got it from, totally lacking in any form of customer care. Car works as I expected and nothing has fallen off yet.

What colour are your seats?

I've just replaced my 58 XC60 which had 105K on it for another with 3K. After 5 years, the seat looked like new condition wise, although I did find my blue raincoat easily marked the cream leather on the armrest and the dye would not come out.

My previous 55 plate S60 did seem to wear the seat leather a bit more.

Hopefully the newer MY14 seats stand up like the last ones did, albeit these are black.

I just got my XC60, october 2012 model, ocean race, D4. Coming from a VW Tiguan TDI140, I can just say "wahou". especially the sound of the engine on the highway is dead silent, the sound insulation is really nice, and the leather seats are really really nice.
The sound of the sensus is really not bad at all, and the ipod control really nice to see.
It's a second hand car with just 22000km, so nothing to complain about so far.
Just wish I had the front parking sensor, that's all, and the premium system sound.

Hi all...the seats of black leather and I am not an over large person, but the drivers seat leather is all creased and slightly baggy on one side. Both front seats the leather has a least one scratch mark from pockets on trousers too....hence the rear seat is covered with a blanket before kids booster seats were put on

Bet you wish you had the fitted booster seats.
Try using Gliptone leather polish bought mine up very well and have used before on an XC90 for 8 years and no sign of wear at all it keeps the leather supple.

Thanks GJB will try that and then work out how to post a "before and after" pic....
