Our quick take

Volvo S60 DRIVe R-Design 1.6 litre turbo diesel - 4.0 / 5

There’s an app for that car

To recap

The S60 shows the Germans how the non-German car manufacturers do things. In our opinion, the S60 is fantastic to look at, incredibly comfortable and just about the safest place you can sit on the road. Our reservations revolve around the smallish and not-that-efficient diesel engine, and the potential high cost once desirable extras are added.
