Mid-Size Sedan, Premium
2011 Volvo S60
|
The Volvo S60 kept Vincentric’s Best Value in America award in the family, moving last year’s winner, the Volvo S80, into second place in 2011. This one-two punch from Volvo showed that better-than-average maintenance and repair costs, strong fuel economy, and low insurance costs are a dynamic combination when searching for best value. Like the Volvo S80 in 2010, the Volvo S60 is a first time winner in 2011, no small feat in this class of over 20 luxury sedans.
