Looking at a 2017 Volvo S60 and others...
Hi, I was looking at a 2017/18 Volvo s60. I'm just wondering at other brands of the same size car. Ideally, I would like the best equipped and quality car for the cheapest price. Thanks and Happy Xmas, Malcolm
Our answer:
Hi Malcolm,
Happy New Year to you! So, rivals to the S60 are obvious – they’re the Audi A4, the BMW 3 Series, the Mercedes C-Class, the Jaguar XE and the Lexus IS. All of these are very good vehicles, but in terms of the most equipment for your money, the Lexus will be the choice, as the Japanese marques have always traditionally been strong at offering lengthy standard equipment lists. The Volvo, though, will be nicely specified, especially as an R-Design (also look for the Winter Style pack), and it has the benefit of some of the comfiest seats in the motoring industry.
