Interior Design and Special Features
Interior materials of the 2012 Volvo S60 is on par with the rest of the class of the luxury sedan entry level. The more wear on the dashboard and the doors do not fit everyone, but we can not deny that the interior leather, vinyl and plastic materials are of quality. Volvo's unique take on the accents of wood and metal, also the cabin of the S60 personality than most of its rivals.
Simple dual temperature control, and call the icon "man of mode" will make the climate adjustments simple and intuitive. The audio system is quite easy to use, although a number of small buttons on the audio starts to look dated. Available DVD navigation system then removes the complexity of back-of-the-wheel controls the past, Volvo and more conventional dial-type controller. The interface works well in practice, however, is still Volvo's navigation software in a few years behind.
As expected of a Volvo, the front seats offer excellent comfort and long journey with the right support. Unfortunately, the rear seat is not so complacent. The seats themselves are supportive, but the legs and feet are limited to adults over 5 feet 8 inches. Competitors such as Class C and Series 3 are of similar size, but an Acura TL and Cadillac CTS is more welcoming.
Frame is a 12-cubic foot capacity is a bit 'low-class as well, but the height is low liftover easy access to space. Both rear seats and front passenger seat folded down, and there is a separate ski pass-through.
Driving Impressions
Volvo has made great efforts to characterize the S60 2012 as "villains" as if it were a sports sedan misbehaves. In short, the 2012 Volvo S60 luxury sedan is one. Comfortable, sophisticated and well-behaved with enough power if you go with five or six-cylinder turbocharged engine is a manager with a steering lock step with weight that feels substantial without being heavy.
The T6 engine is smooth and powerful and all-wheel drive system can transfer different degrees of power to each wheel to optimize traction and cornering or on slippery roads. The new base model T5, for its part, the lines along with luxury cars such as entry-level 328i and C300, as the nature turbo offers better low-end torque over its competitors aspirated V6.
