    Should I buy one?

    Thanks to the new engine, both the XC60 and S60 have become far easier to recommend than before. They offer much in terms of refinement and performance now and yet hold on to other strengths in the striking designs, solid build and charming cabins. That Volvo is also ramping up its dealer and support network brings with it the promise of greater peace of mind when buying these cars. So, if you’ve been toying with the idea of buying a Volvo, there should be little to stop you now. Even otherwise, these Volvos have reached a point in their evolution where they genuinely deserve a long, hard look.
