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.
One of the front seats of Volvo, expect a great long-distance comfort and proper support. Unfortunately, the backseat is not so accommodating. The seats themselves are supportive, but the room space for the legs and the foot is tight for adults over the 5-foot-8. Competitors such as the C class and 3 series are of comparable size, but the Acura TL and Cadillac CTS are hospitable.
12 cubic feet capacity of the tribe is a little small for the class too, but a little more lift height for easy access to space. The two rear seats and folding front passenger seat, and there is a separate ski pass-through.
Driving Impressions
Volvo has come a long way in 2012 is characterized by S60 as 'bad', as if it were evil Sport Sedan. Joking aside, the 2012 Volvo S60 luxury sedan is a beautiful sophisticated and well educated, with a lot of power, if you go for five or six-cylinder turbo. This is a sure-footed comfort weighted operator with the steering, which feels a lot 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.
