Five-Point Inspection: 2015 Volvo V60 Polestar

Brakes:

As superb as the motor is in the V60 Polestar, the brakes are equally up to task. The 14.6 inch vented rotors up front are accompanied by six piston brakes, while the rear rotors are also vented and slightly smaller at 11.8 inches.

The brakes are responsive, but not annoyingly touchy. Instead they just work really well. So much so, in fact, that you might grow accustomed to waiting much longer before slowing for a stoplight.
