Thanks. The same as an S-60. That S60 has been around a long time and would a 2016 V60 share the same platform and fixes?

Good to see a name I remember.

In June 2018 I sold my V50, a car that was in 100% perfect shape. I thought I would get a 2015 Outback limited a try. I never knew how much I would despise a CVT transmission. A CVT is very inefficient at 25 MPG which is where I spend a lot of my time. A CVT does not like being cold. On cold mornings when I first take off, there is a hill I go up. The OB will roar, the RPMs' are in the 3,000 range and I'm giong 15 > 24 MPH. Oddest thing. Plus the put-put jerky feeling of the CVT in traffic. Errr!

I took a financial hit today and traded in the OB on a 2016 V60. Nice car, very nice Volvo.

With only 20,000 on the odo I suspect it will be a long while before I have many questions about maintenance.

Feels good to be back sitting on comfortable seats.
