Reviews SummaryThe Volvo S60 premium sedan has been around for a while, but rather than letting it get stale, Volvo’s been obsessive about keeping it up to date. The 2015.5 Volvo S60 has a fresh look, and the brand-new Drive-E engines breathe new life into the S60 range. | |
Reviews SummaryAlthough it wears a Lexus badge, don’t allow preconceived notions of what Lexus means to cloud your judgment of the IS lineup. These cars are multi-talented sports sedans with high levels of quality and refinement, but little in the way of traditional luxuries. Keep this in mind, and you’ll get along with the IS just fine. | |
