[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 554438, member: 4527"] The later generation Volvo trying to impress by having a low roof line at the rear which makes it look less squarish but by doing that, the rear seat head room is sacrificed. Therefore to gain head room, they move the rear seat forward. That's why for such a reasonable size sedan, yet you notice the rear leg room is as bad, if not worse than the 1-series. But the 1-series is different because the designer tried to move the cabin towards the rear axle to achieve 50/50 chassis balance for the best driving sensation in the industry. While Volvo does exactly the opposite by shifting seats to the front to gain head room due to the low rear roof line. That actually worsen the already imbalance chassis weight of a front engine front wheel drive car. Straight line pickup for the turbo s60 is no doubt, very fast but no way this car can match a BMW when it comes to winding roads. My question about the square and round Earth earlier is actually mean this. Are you the type that love to do straight line sprint or prefer to get a car that steer like it's on rail. [/QUOTE]
