2010 Volvo XC60 T6 R-Design
2010 Volvo XC60 T6 R-Design - Automobile Magazine
The turbocharged inline-six is strong and smooth, the steering is excellent, and the body control is impressive for an SUV.

Yowza! I was pleasantly surprised by this Volvo. Powerful and fun like a sports car with the storage of an SUV. Loved the interior trim and seats -- masculine and sporty. Seat heaters worked like a dream. Plenty of room for passengers and luggage, yet tight turning radius and compact size got me into some tight spaces.
