I recently leased a 2013 Volvo S60 T5 FWD with premier plus and climate packages. I am very happy with the look and feel of the interior and the way that it drives. It is smooth and has plenty of power. The only two issues that I have are that there is very little rear passenger leg room (which isn't really an issue for me since I have two carseats in the back), and the suspension isn't great (I feel every bump). All in all, I am very happy.

 

They aren't the largest interiors but until the kids get really big I don't think it will be a problem. Most of these cars have a sportier (read stiffer) spring so between that and the lower profile tires you will feel more bumps than is a big Caddy.

 

the T5 is going to have the stiffer feel. just check your tire inflation guide and use the minimum pressure recommended. it should aliviate a lot of that "every bump in the road" feel

 

I guess it is all a matter of perspective. Compared to my 2005 S4 which we have as a 3rd car, the rear leg room of the s60 is substantial and the ride is downright cushy!
