Volvo S60 Drive and Review // Still a great Volvo. 

Had Volvos from 2007, and I have never had a problem with the five models I have had, hand on heart, a brilliant built car worth every penny.

The “backseat JJ” sketch is so bad, it’s actually good 😂 love it! Shame Volvo, like of most manufacturers, are ending production of saloons in favour of SUVs

I had one of these for 7 years, by far the longest I’ve owned any car. Had a T4 180 which used the same engine as a Fiesta ST of the time. Decent car, found it very difficult to replace as it did everything well and had lots of equipment that a lot of modern cars don’t actually have. Mine had a few niggles over the years but most cars do…the worst was needing a new blower motor which meant the dashboard needed to be taken apart and it was very expensive

The first one to comment! That's one thing ticked off my bucket list JJ. What a great looking motor. That may be one to consider for the future.

I have the 2015 D4. Lots of fantastic features. The cream leather with sunroof feels much more luxurious than the black leather looks. I leave all the safety features on, and they rarely bother me. MPG more like 40mpg around town but could get up to 60mpg on a very frugal slow motorway run. I have the auto (8 speed) and it does include a sports mode with manual gear change if needed. Very relaxing to drive and not one issue or complaint after 5 months of ownership. PS. the adaptive cruise control works to a complete stop, and to re activate the cruise mode from a stop, press the reset button. No need to use accelerator or brake even in city driving. I've done it once or twice but it feels very strange!!!

Good video mate. Subbed. This was one of the first cars I ever reviewed as I owned it. Such an underrated car.

Great review, very interesting. Speaking as a retired tweedy former geography teacher, I wholeheartedly endorse your enthusiasm for the S60 D5. Thank you 🌞🌞👍👍

Great review. I love my T5 2018 R-Design as well. Mine is in Ice White color. Got compliments all the time. Looks classy and sportier in a Volvo and unique way. The sitting position and seats are HEAVEN. Got everything I need.

always found this s60 better looking and more unique than the equivalent 3 series or merc. kinda feels bit more special defiantly getting one after i finish college hopefully.

We have a 2015 V40 T3 R Design and the ride is quite firm. Our 2015 XC60 D5 AWD does around 44 MPG and it's mainly used on the motorway; it could be better but my mum likes to drive it fast haha

Excellent review, can never have too much Volvo! I have a 2012 V60 T6 which is a lot of fun and also a V40 T3. Would like an S80 V8 next!

The original S60 was also marketed as the sporty Volvo at least in Sweden. In the ads they would drive up and down a parking garage because the cornering was so fun. In fact I saw more sporty ads for the first S60 than this one.

I bought the estate US version, 2016 Premier T5 AWD 5cyl 250hp for 18500US as a CPO (37KMiles)in 2019 and added the 10-year (in service date- 2016-2026) unlimited mileage Extended Warranty for another 2K and Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. I have put 42K miles and Overall, I am very pleased with the performance and style. Inclement weather is where it really shines. I have fit 5 ppl but they weren't happy, 4 is OK. The trunk is small but it works for me.

Had the D4 model for many years. Best looking exec salon (imho) but I was disappointed with the ride quality which was below what I expected without a benefit to the handling which was mediocre at best, especially when compared to my previous car, a diesel BMW 3 series. The fuel economy was again average, I’d routinely get ~ 45mpg from a 70:30 mix of motorway and urban roads. My previous 3 series was achieving nearly 60mpg on the same route. I also found the cabin noise to be intrusive and the engine almost tractor like in sound. Now it might sound like I hated the car, but far from it, I LOVED it, despite its flaws. Seats and stereo were superb, in fact the level of equipment was fantastic. Although, as with all salons, practicality can be compromised, and yes the boot is small for what is a fairly large car, the front passenger seat back folds completely flat by the touch of one lever which makes carrying very long items remarkably easy. Unlike most I loved all the electronic driving aids and other safety features; the BLIS blind spot system saved me on countless occasions on the motorway and I found the head up distance warning lights to be a brilliant way to keep you reminded of just how far away we should be from the car in front , especially when travelling at motorway speeds. I’d make them compulsory on all cars if I could! All in all a great and under looked alternative to the run of the mill Audi/BMW/Mercedes offerings. Great review as always 👍🏻 PS - that electronic handbrake was frustratingly counterintuitive and even after having the car for over 4 years it still bugged me! 😂

Great review, reinforces my decision to buy a pre-loved S60! Would it be possible for you to share what product has been used for the infotainment upgrade to Android Auto? I really need this upgrade on mine too + a rear view cam

Great review this is ! I am looking at this car but the D4 version also a E class coupe like the one you reviewed f you were to compare the comfort level of both would you say that e coupe is way more comfortable?

What’s your thought on petrol models like (T5)? Should we go for diesel or petrol? Thanks

I’m between this one and a c220 w204, both 2015. In your opinion which one should I get? I’m going to travel like 1000km x week.

Volvo's are great vehicles and is quite durable but they can do better man geez. Kia vehicles look better than these Volvos
