Exterior & Interior
Volvo S60 gets high marks for exterior and interior styling. The rating of 9.5 speaks for itself and most agree that the .5 missing is a consideration for preference. The s60 is both handsome as a gentleman and muscular like a work horse, reminiscent of the Aston Martin. Most Volvo owners and/or enthusiast picture a Volvo interior as classy and minimalist but the S60 is not a standard Volvo.
The dashboard is filled with buttons that provide creature comforts at the touch of a button. The dash is tilted towards the driver which indicates that the S60 is all about driver experience. Front seats are excellent and provide superior amount of legroom. The seats are orthopedic which ensures superior rear and back support especially in high speed turns which the driver will certainly try a lot. In contrast is the passenger leg room which could use a few more inches. Standard amenities such as the center display screen, Bluetooth, automatic climate control and trip compute are a welcome addition.
