2007 Volvo S60 2.5T Trim Overview

Maybe you looked at the smaller S40 and found you needed more oomph under the pedal. Well, even the base model S60 comes with a turbocharged 208-horsepower engine, which will gulp in air to help you pass for those times you're not in bumper-to-bumper during rush hour.
Yes, this little sedan is best suited to commuting, unless you have one or two small children and plan to trade up by the time they need legroom. That said, kids require a lot of stuff whenever they go anywhere, so be sure before you buy that this car is spacious enough for your needs. The S60 only gives a couple more inches of hip room and another cubic foot or so of cargo space over the S40, so those facts probably won't help you if you're caught in indecision.
It's hard to think of this car as a base model with all of the great features that come standard: air conditioning, a trip computer, a tire-pressure monitoring system, a leather-wrapped steering wheel complete with remote audio controls, nicely carpeted floor mats, and powered and heated rearview mirrors with driver memory.
But the stuff that makes the biggest difference is mostly unseen - or at least you hope not to see it: namely the driver and front passenger air bags (front and side-impact), inflatable side-curtains, and side-impact protective beams. Each S60 also comes with Dynamic Stability and Traction Control, whiplash-protective padded head restraints, a passenger safety cage, and to increase visibility to other drivers, daytime running lights and fog lights (including a rear one).
For the money you'll pay and the features you'll get, the Volvo S60 compares quite favorably to other small European sedans. But even if you've just started your research, it's quite possible you already knew that.
