Accident history: No accidents per Carfax
Maintenance history: I am the 3rd owner of the vehicle; to my knowledge, all service has been performed on time. I did a stage 0 (oil change, spark plugs, transmissions fluid change, fuel filter) as soon as I purchased the car, and can show receipts for the parts. The only other information I have is what is on the Carfax (I can scan the one I received from dealer when I purchased ~2 months ago).
Service history: None that I am aware of, and no indications of major work performed.
The Good:
- Low miles
- No major issues
- Boost holds strong at ~13/14 psi, Vacuum at -20 psi
- Shifts well
- AWD works
- A/C blows cold
- Leather in good condition
- When I initially purchased the car, I had the Volvo dealership near me perform their 120-point (or similar #) inspection. The only 2 things they came back with were a broken license plate frame bracket (which I have replaced, its shiny in the pics) and a crack in the plastic wheel well liner (which I have not been able to locate, and does not cause any rubbing). I can provide a scan of the document they gave me stating as much.
- New Falken Ziex 235/45/R17 tires all round, less than 3k miles
- New brake pads and rotors (done by dealer prior to my purchase)
- Clean and clear title
The Bad:
- There is a small hole in the OTE pipe. Does not affect performance/boost.
- I broke a few of the clips holding the coil plug connectors onto the coils when doing the stage 0 maintenance. The breaks all occurred on the coil side, so replacing the coils will remedy this issue entirely. I discovered this problem when I reassembled everything after stage 0 and had a misfire problem driving down the block. I pulled everything apart, and remedied the situation with some strategically and securely placed zip ties.
- The top of the valve cover is yellowed a bit due to a leaking oil cap seal. I replaced the seal and its no longer leaking, but I have not cleaned the valve cover. This is visible in the engine pics.
- There is a section of the carpet on the rear driver's side floorboard that has frayed away (see pic). I honestly didnt even see this until I was cleaning the car for the photos today. I dont know how I missed it when I purchased the car, but I want to give full disclosure here.
- There are a few small paint scratches/nicks in various places around the car. The places that are most visible are the bumper beneath the trunk lid and the passenger side doors. Pics of these areas included below. I believe a good wax job will cure 90% of these spots.
- 17" pegasus wheels are in good condition, but not perfect. There are some blemishes that have been repaired, but are still visible. Nothing major and no bends, but again full disclosure.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
Five vehicles named Top Safety Pick+ including new Civic, MKZ
Fri, 08 Mar 2013In an attempt to help push vehicle safety to a higher level, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety created a stricter Top Safety Pick+ rating last year, which incorporates a brutal small overlap test and requires cars to get Good ratings in four out of the five categories (and no less than Acceptable in the fifth). Joining the list of the safest cars of 2013, the 2013 Volvo XC60, Lincoln MKZ, Honda Civic (sedan and coupe) and the 2014 Mazda6 have all received the coveted TSP+ rating.
The Mazda6 and Lincoln MKZ have both been completely redesigned, and both received Acceptable ratings in the small overlap test. The Honda Civic, coming off its emergency refresh for 2013, is the first small car to be subjected to the small overlap test, and IIHS says that one of the car's many upgrades includes a stiffer front structure allowing it to receive Good ratings in all categories. Similarly, the XC60 gets all Good ratings thanks to, according to IIHS, Volvo updating the airbag software allowing the side airbags to inflate during the small overlap test.
The 2014 Subaru Forester has not yet been subjected to the small overlap test, so it must make do with just a Top Safety Pick rating until the IIHS tests small utility vehicles, which is expected to happen later in the spring.
Polestar looking to tune Volvo CUVs
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Volvo is getting serious about emerging from the fringes and into the mainstream of the luxury automobile market. But if it's going to challenge the Germans, it's going to need a performance line. And that's just what it's developing with Polestar.
Building on the motorsport partnership that has seen Polestar represent Volvo in the Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, World Touring Car Championship and V8 Supercars series, Polestar has been charged with developing road-going performance Volvos as well. It currently offers comprehensively tuned versions of the S60 and V60, as well as engine upgrades for other models, but the latest word has it that Polestar will turn its attention next to tuning Volvo crossovers like the XC60 and the new XC90, pictured above in top-spec R-Design trim.
Details on how Volvo would modify those models remain to be determined, but it wouldn't be much of a stretch to imagine the XC60 outfitted with similar enhancements to those offered on its sedan and wagon stablemates to mount a challenge to the Audi SQ5. As for the larger XC90, it seems Volvo is already squeezing as much out of its new 2.0-liter triple-charged inline-four as it can, but more aggressive handling, aero and brakes could stand to transform the flagship crossover in pursuit of performance utes like the Mercedes ML63 AMG and BMW X5 M, even if it couldn't quite match their impressive horsepower outputs.
