Was deciding between the 330 and the S60 T8 - went for the S60. Yes, it is a heavy car which affected maneuverability around bends compared to lighter RWD cars - but wasn't difficult to get used to . Also switching either to AWD or power drive mode increases road grip and maneuverability which puts a smile on my face. Other factor for this car over others was the quality of comfort, luxury interior and tech compared to the others. I enjoy exciting drives and comfortable rides with the music on. I think this car does both for me.

Can agree. But i do think c class look a little bit more classy, elegance & look more luxury in terms of interior design. Mercedes always have a interior design that 'wow' me in their new generation car in my opinion unlike other that play safe. But yeah, overall i do agree volvo have perfect balance in it design for both exterior & interior. It have a bit sporty look yet elegance enough & also a mature design. Bmw a bit to sporty & audi is a bit to boring.

I am looking at a used 2022 S60 T8 R Design and found your review. I worked with Danish engineers in my first job in 1975 and they convinced me buy a Volvo with my new family and the safety it provides. In a few years I upgraded to a 760 Turbo which was awesome. But coming home late from work one night I ran off the road and went airborn. I prayed for God to take care of my kids, But I lived. I did not had a scratch. I have owned Volvos every since. They are strong and they protected me. Our 2018 S60 AWD Polestar is doing just fine but i want to do better for the environment. I think I am ready to trade in for this S60 T8 it looks perfect now as we are retired. Thank You for a such a wonderful and entertaining review. Regards, Dennis in Virginia

Drove the S60, 330i and the C300. And I have to say, driving the S60 just makes your life much easier on the road with all the tech, safety and HK speakers. And the acceleration is bonkers. However, driving the 330i does make me feel special due to its handling and how it sounds. Not to forget, even though the new iDrive lacks configurability compared to the merc, it is still the easiest to use while driving. And the C300 is more of an eye candy. So it depends on what kind of driver/owner are you? If you're an A-B kind of driver, get the Volvo. If you're a keen driver who loves exciting driving, get the 330i. If looks is the top of your priority, then get the C300.
