From the Passenger's Perspective: 2005 Volvo S60

This was the first car my mother and i drove yesterday at Geneva Foreign & Sports in Geneva, New York.  You can see their website here.
This S60 has an Ice White exterior and a Beige interior.  These two colors look very nice together, and make the nice styling stand out.  The exterior looks very good, though restrained.  The interior is my favorite though.  The styling is very edgy and modern, despite being eight years old.
Power comes from a 2.5L DOHC turbocharged I5 engine, sent to all-wheels via a great automatic transmission.  On the transmission, my mom noted that the gear stick requires precise movement to get it into the gear you want.  The engine provides a surprising amount of power, albeit with some turbo lag.  It feels a bit unstable if you put your foot down, though it is a Volvo so its not going anywhere.  It is reported to be a responsive and surprisingly well-handling car, though it is solid.  The brakes are nice and responsive, and the transmission is geared just right.  Despite these performance perks, it is very,  very comfortable. The seats are nice and soft, yet supportive and the suspension flattens out the worst of railroad tracks.
The interior, as said before, is very nicely styled.  The dashboard features everything you need, and the climate control works very well.  I did notice that the control cluster was very flat and uninteresting, but the rest of the interior makes up for it.  This car has a lot of space up front and in back.  This is definitely a car for long trips.  It is also incredibly quiet.  You can have a conversation with the driver, whispering as quiet as you can.
There are also tons of storage compartments around the inside, along with a nice retractable cup holder cover.  The wood trim compliments the Beige interior.
This is a great car.  It has a fantabulous combination of performance and incredible comfort, though leaning toward the comfort side of things.   It also gets good gas mileage and, being a Volvo, is unsurpassed in safety.  This could be either a family car or a car for one person, it really does both. If your looking for a car that will soothe your brow after a hard day's work, look no further.
