2013 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The driver's seat and driver's position are outstanding, the best I've ever experienced and I've driven Lexuses and Infinitis. Passenger's seat is also very comfortable.rnrnCaution: Back seat and trunk are small. Also, no spare. You get an inflation kit. You can pay $250 for a donut spare. see full Volvo S60 review |

Volvo has a reputation for quality seating - I am very pleased with the comfort and support. I had a recent trip of about 14 hours, and the seats provided the best comfort I've had compared to all other cars I've owned and have drove in long distance trips. see full Volvo S60 review |

Rear seat space is smaller than 3-series BMW. It's fine for children/young adults, but full size people will find it a little tight. Volvo should have added about six inches to the length and a few inches in width. see full Volvo S60 review |
