Most European sports sedans – especially those with all-wheel drive – are fun to drive, and the Volvo S60 R is no different. Whether you’re on your way to work, to pick up milk, or to do some skydiving, you’ll still feel a little thrill when you sit behind the wheel of this turbocharged charmer.
Part of that thrill is the mere pleasure of being enrobed by its ergonomically-designed leather-upholstered bucket seats. Volvo is known for its wonderful seats, which basically give driver and passenger a nice Swedish bear hug. It feels great, and it really helps to limit some of that fatigue on a long road trip.
And not only is the interior comfy, it’s pretty, too (sorry, but it can’t cook). The discerning eye will appreciate the blue instrument gauges with watch-dial bezels, and the brushed aluminum inlays here and there. The 6-speed stick-shift gets a brushed aluminum gear lever and the 6-speed Geartronic automatic gets a leather gearshift knob, either complemented by a leather parking-brake handle.
The R has the same standard safety features and gadgetry as the less expensive S60 trims, plus a little bit more. In fact, that person to your right won’t have to envy you your fancy powered seat – the passenger seat comes that way too for no extra green (it’s part of an options package on the lesser trims). And if you ever decide to let that passenger drive, the power mirrors with driver memory will come in handy, too.
