You never truly know a car until you get behind the wheel. Feeling the stitching of the steering wheel in your hands and the idling engine at your core is one of the best things a prospective car buyer can do before getting down to brass tacks. Well now, Volvo is giving prospective car buyers a new way to get hands on with their vehicles and it's virtually the next best thing to getting behind the wheel in real life.

Volvo tweeted out an invitation to drivers to take a "thumb drive" today. Like the little brother to the virtual test drive, these tweets were aimed at showing off all the fantastic features Volvo has packed into their new XC60. The tweet above is just one of a handful of tweets, in which the XC60 takes on high traffic hot spots the likes of New York City, Downtown LA, and San Francisco. These metropolitan settings are perfect for displaying features like the XC60's forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, and advanced stability control systems. Advanced safety features like these don't come at the expense of personal comfort and utility though, as this compact luxury crossover comes equipped with memory seating, keyless entry and start, and even integrated child booster seats!
With these new "thumb drive" shorts, Volvo has created a way to put its vehicles almost literally in the hands of prospective Volvo owners. So if you're an on-the-go shopper, check out Volvo's Twitter page for more thumb drive action. And if you do find yourself with a little bit more time on your hands, stop by Byers Volvo to test drive the all-new XC60 today!
