    With over 14k on the XC60, I am now averaging about 24.5 mpg in the summer. My wife's 2005 S80 FWD has been getting about 27 mpg in summer driving.

    There is a five seat version of the new XC90 and that is the XC60. That would be the model eliminated if in fact they come out with a five seat XC90. The xc70 may go too, but Volvo calls that a wagon...

    No, 2016 XC60 has the venerable T6 six cylinder engine. Only did this once. Service manager said it was some kind of software clitch. Will see if it happens again.

    My 12 volt socket is located on the passenger side of the wall in the cargo compartment. I believe that socket only comes with certain packages.

    The T6 is a great engine. My 06 XC70 had the T5 and it had all the power I needed. My 2016 XC60 has the T6 and you can feel the difference. Gas mileage for at least the way I drive is as good as the...

    I had a 2006 XC70 with the T5 and had good luck with it and an average MPG of 25 over the 82K miles I drove it. Always wondered what the T6 would be like and when I got my XC60, I went with the T6....

    With 2k on the XC60 now I am getting between 24.5 and 25.5 mpg with the T6. I am not using the sport mode, except to try it briefly. I can see the performance upgrade with sport mode, but of course...

    I would go with the T6. The 3.2 without turbo charging is OK but not as responsive as the T6.

    I used 89 octane (mid grade) in my XC70 and that seemed to work fine. Unless you really push the engine or are driving in high altitudes you can get by with 87. Now I am using 87 in my XC60 T6 AWD as...

    The rear area of my XC70 was a bit larger than the XC60. But with the seats down I can slide a 2x4x8 piece of lumber into the XC60 just as I could with the XC70. The XC60 is about three inches...

    The AWD XC60 T6 uses the 3.0 liter engine, not the newer offerings (they come with the FWD XC60). EPA for the 3.0 liter 6 cylinder are 17/24 as I recall.
