  | Re: The best and worse things about your car Volvo S60 2.0T [+] Materials quality: Actually it has very nice plastics with soft feeling and nice smell that you can't easily find in many cars of it's price range and above! Comfortable seats: We all know that the Volvo seats are to die for. Yes, they are as comfortable as your bed is and yet way more! Mine has the sport seats, that are extra in the base models Exclusivity: Most of you would ask me how the heck can a volvo be exclusive. Actually apart from the S40/V50 and the XC90, an S60 or an S80 is a rare enough sight, and add on it's classic design, it makes it a "status symbol" Engine: It produces 180hp with medium turbo lag, which is a good enough thing compared with other cars with turbo that i have driven. Plus, it is not loud and the exhaust too, so it's very confortable both in city and journeys Great sound system and climate controls: You can't imagine the sound quality in this car, which matches my Technics stereo at home. The air condition is very effective. [-] Service: The quality of the service here is very poor and it costs me a fortune Gas: When in city it burns really a lot. When i used the car out of the city bounds i had a 9.5l/km and now that i go to work with it, i get a 13l/km rate... Gearbox and steering wheel and pedals: the pedals have a numb feeling, the steering wheel is not very sharp and direct and so goes for the gearbox. But thats a Volvo  Boring handling: Apart from the fact that you can drive fast there is nothing exciting on the handling part. It's steady, predictable and with some understeer. Nothing special.. Interior lights (console): they have a disgusting green light... I wish it was blue red or something...
