Great review Nobby! But this car is a contender for the Audi A4, BMW 3 series and Mercedes C class. Not the 5 series E class or A6.

Correct, I was comparing them based on price in Ireland which I should’ve made clearer 👍🏻

exactly it's more a compact luxury sedan like the A4...3 series and the c class

Porsche loaned me this car when my Macan S needed repairs. I expected little from this car. But I was immediately impressed with the outer styling and interior. First rate interior! Curious on the highway driving home. I punched the gas pedal and again thoroughly impressed! I went zoom and the pull was steady and strong until I eased up off the gas pedal. Really good acceleration. My initial guess was about 300 hp under hood. I have no idea but my Macan S is roughly 350 hp and the pull felt very similar. Even though I can hardly wait to pick up my Porsche... I give this Volvo a big thumbs up.

Truly gorgeous car, it weirdly reminds me the saab 93 from the c pillar design and stance and that wanting to do the thing different to the 3 series and a4

I just bought an S60 to replace my 93. Well spotted. Similar cars. I hope to enjoy the Volvo as much as the 93.

We have a S60 T5R without the official levers to fold the rear seats. But you can strill fold them. There is an access panel at the back of the boot, one on the left and another on the right. Just flick the lever inside the access panel to lower the left or right seats. A bit fiddly but if like me you bought a used S60, you can still lower them.

Got the 2019 T6 Momentum and have done the Polestar Software upgrade. The 2020 is really the same with only some freebies added that initially were extra. Love the car. Must be the European thing but mine came with the mini spare.

For me is this car victory flag holder among all sedans on the currant market as far as regarding design! Audi A4 should have kept previous design, not step forward, BMW front fine but rear nothing catchy.

The old one might have been a 3 Series competitor, when it started at about €35,000 and with a 114hp diesel and 148hp petrol engine, with top engine putting out 300hp... This one though starts at €46,000, with a 190hp petrol only* (which they didn't get in the UK yet, with the next engine being their current starting one), followed by a 250hp and and a 390hp hybrid... Overall i'd say down their most direct rivals are the 5 series etc now :) . www.volvocars.com/ie/build/sedan/s60 www.parkers.co.uk/volvo/s60/review/ *it's also seemingly automatic only now, which is a shame, but the likes of the Jaguar XF and several other new cars are automatic only or mostly automatic now :_ . (Also unfortunately, we can't buy the upgraded, sportier, Polestar model here, when they can in the UK :_ .) Edit - if there's a manual transmission option, i can't see it on Volvo's website...

I've always had a soft spot for the Volvo's, but the interior of the V40 is awful. V60 would be my preference. Every single Volvo on the road is a bloody diesel, it's nice to see a petrol.

I know this is late by 5 1/2 months, but u got one thing wrong about the Volvo S60 and that the back seats actually do fold down as there is a 50/40 split located next to the ski-through. Besides from that, overall great review
