Pros Cons of Volvo S90

Pros

  • Sharp Styling
  • Spacious Rear Seat
  • Comfortable Over Long Distances

Cons

  • Pricey Over Rear Wheel Drive Rivals
  • Lacks Outright Performance
  • No Option Of A Diesel Engine

Verdict

Underneath its sheet metal, the S90 employs Volvo's SPA (Scalable Product Architecture) platform, which made its debut with the XC90. This means a transverse front-drive layout, with unequal-length control arms in the front suspension and a multilink layout in the rear.  The car just glides over everything and that's when you keep your phone down and gaze out of the window and admire the colourful sky, at the same congratulating yourself on your buying decision.

Pros Cons of BMW Z4

Pros

  • Strong six-cylinder engine
  • Available with a six-speed manual gearbox
  • Quick-folding soft-top roof
  • Well-balanced ride and handling

Cons

  • Ground clearance of 114 mm is very low
  • Missing a few premium features, like ventilated seats
  • The cabin feels tight for taller individuals
  • Rearward visibility is poor with the roof up

Verdict

Being one of the last true sports roadsters you can buy today, the BMW Z4 does not try to be an oversized luxury cruiser or an overly complex technology showcase. Instead, it keeps its fundamentals simple: a powerful engine at the front, drive going to the rear wheels, and an open roof above your head.

Moreover, the Pure Impulse Edition’s six-speed manual proves that the brand still cares about the pure joy of driving. It has that raw and engaging feel that is rarely experienced in the modern car market today, and the automatic variant is still a superb choice for daily driving. If you’re browsing the market for a stylish, fast, and good-looking sports car, this machine is definitely worth your attention before such engines disappear forever.

Girish summarises the BMW Z4 like this,

“Choose this car if you want precision, no-nonsense performance, and a premium open-top experience.”
