I prefer automatic. I've driven a V60 D3 Geartronic with the 5-cylinder engine, and it was a lovely drive.

I also found the V60 slightly claustrophobic when compared to the V70, but perhaps this is because I'm used to the massive space in the front of the V70. If, instead, I'd switched from a Volvo V40 to the V60 then I might not have felt the same way.

The V60 does have a lot of fans out there, and it's also more compact than the V70, which some might prefer.

I'm also not convinced that the rear passenger space is any worse than the V70. So the V60 has a lot going for it.
