Went for a test drive for Volvo models.
S60 was fun, precise and offered decent space.
Acceleration was better than 318 and somehow felt more comfortable.
I personally didn't like the Interior especially the screen to control most.
Knowing the car was not made in Sweden, I couldn't fully agree with its worth vs. Price to pay.
Went to try out this mid size S60 from Volvo. First looks is muscular and sporty with a shorter body than its elder sibling, the S90 which is the extreme luxury drive in its class.
As Volvo, this German make comes with many great features, like its tablet size infotainment that has many features from audio to car settings for you to play around. The R-Design with topping up $10k sounds more visible to have as you get not just the R-Design kits, also with sunroof, not only the usual cosmetics.
In it a 2.0L with 180+hp, its 300Nm torque pickup can blow you away during move off. Gear changes are extremely smooth sailing where without even noticing it, you could be in 100km/h or faster (the SE prompted me I have already accelerated "Silently" To 120km/h which i quickly slowed down).
Overall, its a considerable against A4 or C class if you are willing to part around $170k to get a smooth, luxury sedan.
