8.Volvo S60

The brief handed down to the team responsible for the new Volvo S60 was short, sweet and to the point: make it the most sporty Volvo ever.

The all-wheel-drive technology offers secure cornering and features a new system called Corner Traction Control by Torque Vectoring, which moves torque to the outside wheels to help steer the car around a turn without under steer.

On top of all the safety stuff we expect from Volvo, it pioneers a feature that, within limitations, makes it impossible to mow down jaywalkers and stops low-speed nose-to-tail shunts. It's called 'pedestrian detection with automatic braking' (see Pedestrians: it will see them coming), and Volvo believes it's a world first.

The S60 carries Volvo's Safe and Secure warranty plan, with free scheduled maintenance for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles, and 5 years of Wear and Tear coverage and roadside assistance.
