2016 Volvo S60

If you are in the market for a compact executive car and want something that is a bit different then the Volvo S60 might be the car for you. It is certainly practical as there is plenty of space on board for occupants, particularly in the rear where the split folding seats make it quite a capable load-lugger. The cabin is well built and well screwed together and has plenty of cubby-holes and storage spaces for all your odds and ends. Volvo's are famously comfortable and the S60 is no exception with seats that cosset the driver and passengers alike and smooth suspension that glides over bumps in the road. There is a range of petrol and diesel engines available and all offer a fine blend of performance and economy. A great alternative to the Germans that usually dominate this market.
