So I had to switch out of my demo at work (VW Crossport), and needed something with snow tires.
I grab the keys to a 2019 Volvo V60 T6 Wagon, and found a new favorite car.
All the power you'd ever want. Incredible interior. Amazing in snow. And a digital cockpit that is so well designed, I could actually live with it. It's basically a giant iPhone in the center of the dash, and everything is so intuitive on it. The most intuitive I've ever seen in fact. Large icons, minimal swipes, easy to find menus. In 5 minutes I had the car set to my liking without an owners manual or any internet searching. Oh... and those sweet Swedish seats. Nobody does seats like Volvo does, and Saab did.
When the time comes to replace my wifes car, it's definitely on the list. The V60 recharge looks like it would be an absolute beast on the highway. But an awesome grocery getter at the same time as you could just drive it in all electric.
It takes a lot for a car to impress me like this one did. But then again, I always have a soft spot for a cool wagon.
