I actually disagree with the statement that the S60 needs more “passion behind the wheel.” I appreciate that Volvo bucked the trend of this segment and took a more comfort and luxury oriented focus with this. No one else is really doing that other than maybe Mercedes with base versions of the C Class. I think there is certainly passion in the S60, but it just takes the form of style and comfort, and that’s totally okay. Not every entry in this segment needs to deliver thrilling driving dynamics and hair-on-fire acceleration, which is what Sofyan seems to be saying here. This is easily in my top 3 for this segment, and unpopular opinion, but I would take this over a C Class in a heartbeat.

@vomErsten On the comfort-to-sport spectrum, I’d honestly put the A4/A5 smack in the middle, and I’d put the S60 (R-Design aside) further towards the comfort end. A4/A5 are certainly more daily driver livable than many entries in this segment, but don’t seem to be trying to be as much of a luxury cruiser as, say, this S60 or luxury line C300 models. Fair point on them being faster and more fuel efficient at the same time, but I find their aesthetic to be sterile and conservative to a fault, personally. The S60 may not drive quite as well, but it has enough other redeeming qualities for it to likely be my personal choice over an A4/A5. That’s just me, though.
