I am looking to buy a used XC60. MY 2011 or 12 fits my budget. I have driven a 2011 T6 and the 3.2 (non-turbo). I liked them both and would probably go for the 3.2 since it is powerful enough for my needs and there will be one less thing to go wrong in the future. I have been shopping around for a mid-sized SUV and, frankly, none come close to the XC60 for safety, ride, handling, comfort, and more. It pushes all the right buttons for me. I know the fuel consumption is nothing to write home about but my current daily ride is a 2005 Toyota Highlander V6 AWD so it won't be worse than that. From what I can gather the inline 6 is a solid engine and I have not heard of issues with the tranny. But like just about any new car, it is a complex electronic beast. And the AWD system is more complex than the Highlander's open diffs. Do I need to bring it back to Volvo for re-programming every time a sensor or whatever needs to be replaced?

I could find nothing on the BrickBoard on owner experience / reliability / trouble spots. Actually, there is not even a tag category! Buy with confidence or avoid?
