2005 4dr Wagon 153-horsepower 3.0L V6
4-speed automatic FWD
We chose this wagon initially because it was the only sedan we could find that fit 2 carseats and an adult, or 3 carseats comfortably in the rear seat. Also, the two additional seats in the cargo area are nice if there are more kids along. see full Ford Taurus review

YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
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
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5

Very comfortable driving position. Visibility is outstanding in all quarters. I've taken this car on frequent road trips (>300 miles) and I've been very comfortable throughout the trip. see full Volvo S60 review

2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.5L I5
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
Very tight in back. see full Volvo S60 review
2013 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
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
