As an american most of the american brands went down hill crysler used to be know for making solid sedans Especially full sized sedans basically a poor mans caddy. Know they only make shitty suvs. Dodge was most well known for the preformance wing and made some if the most famious muscle cars in the states they stopped production of the charger and challenger. Ram used to be some of the best work trucks in usa market espically heavy 1 ton deisel powered worktrucks with their own hemi engines or the ones cummins built. Now the build quality of modern trucks is shoddy and the emissions controls on diesil have made it impractical and expensive. Jeep was an off road vehicle turned luxury truck and suv producer know it makes overpriced products that fall apart.

is this similar for citroen ds3 key?

This guy is me but from Britain

The Chinese will buy the brands, to ease the passage of their EVs, in to markets Globally. The cars will bear no resemblance to the heritage associated with the names.

I did something similar with the rear interior light. It is also very helpful to be able to turn it on and off from the dash. I see this video 3 weeks later, and I realy think you chose the realy hard way to do this. Personaly, I'd use that switch and pins to do the same thing as you did, connect two metal contacts together, but I'd just pull a wire from the boot door all the way to the switch on the dash. No need to fiddle around with all those connectors and removing and refitting and cutting up and stuff. It's way easier to pull a wire through the whole car than to unplug and put back connectors. Let alone cut wires. Sure your solution is much more "cooperative" with the system, mine is just "bypassing" it. 😂 In all honesty, everything I did on the car is bypassing the actual electric system. 😂😂😂😂

hmmm....."....something that actualy functions....." THAT is indeed very interesting my friend.....😊

Merry Christmas I have really enjoyed your films over the past year😊 Currently, I am breaking a 2009 1.6 x7. It has only done 157k. Do you need some spares for free? If you pay the postage from Norway I will send them to you❤ All the best Ivar

I own to this day a 2008 S60 2.0lt 5cylinder petrol (180hp) and I agree that the car is brilliant. The only "major" fix in 16 years was that I changed at the Volvo dealership the timing belt. Today the car has 220,000km (125,000 miles) and seriously every year I think to sell it and buy a new one, but there are not cars like this anymore.. Therefore I keep it and I am happy.. Your video was GREAT.. congrats..

I own 3 2006 AWD S60's. 2 black and a silver. Also have a 04 T5 for parts and a 2000 phase 3 v70R and a 73 1800ES, i have a problem.

Hi, Can you confirm that grey plugs goes to FM Antenna? My unit has better receiving of radio station on white pług, but both of them gives worse signal than original

Good to see you're doing fine brother, and great stories too. My friend George wouldn't mind having a CX for a daily driver, he keeps telling me that, I tell him it would be too costly to run these days and we laugh about it. They were beautiful cars but too pricey for our pockets here in Greece, that's why the GSs and GSAs sold very well here. Too much rust though🤣. Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New year from "the happy trucker"👍

Very interesting ! I liked it and would be interested for more. Your dad certainly seemed to be a very good bloke. Happy holidays to you as well Edit: you too can tell stories. And you are a pleasant person to listen to

I see now where you got your love of Citroen from :)

Funny… You’re right: Kitch is a good story teller. Just like you; that’s why I’m tuning in. Our dad passed away 25 years ago. We didn’t have any car. Dad wanted to make the driver’s license but his eyes were too bad. Malaria related issues from World War Two. He wanted to buy a Simca 1100. A family car with a hatchback instead of a tiny Volkswagen Beetle but it never happened. I had to wait for my 18th birthday to get my own car: a six year old Fiat 127. In Germany Citroën Visas are quite rare now. The last (blue) one I did see about three years ago. Patinated but in good condition… I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas. See you soon or next year »»» Martin

Hope you have much more to tell! Really enjoying it. I’m a citröenfan and owner myself. Had two Xiantia’s and now drive my second C5.

Lovely story about your father ❤

My uncle just sold me his s80 from 2003 2.4 diesel. I've never had such a confortable ride in my life. And the sound quality of the speakers... Great, solid car! Nice video mate, cheers from sintra, PT!

you bought from spain what did you expect.

I used to own a 2009 S60 2.5T , I think it was one of the latest P2 S60. It had all the bells and whistles, BLIS, Premium audio, sunroof, Sovereign Hide leather seats and the beautiful Xenon lights. It was a dark blue (magic blue 467), I think it is the most beautiful paintjob available on the S60. As I travelled more and more for work, I sold the S60 for a 2013 V40 as it was more economical. Which I regretted within 1 month, it felt like a huge downgrade. I regret to this day selling that car.. P.s. Totally agree on the seats, I have yet to sit in a car with better seats than the S60/V70.

I'm still looking for a S80 4.4L, while having a 2.0D S40. Love the seats and the whole shebang. Underrated, yet comfortable and safe.

I own a 2006 M66 S60R Got in 2009, it’s an incredibly satisfying car for all the senses.

I own one in black from 2004 with 2,4 140 hp petrol engine and manual transmission. i absolutely love it. i use to call it my super comfy leather paradise XD

I have an S60R 2003......and absolutely love it !

I had a 2001 Y reg 2.0T in red from 2006-2010. A great car, they were just expensive to run - I remember it averaged 29 mpg on mostly A road runs. Expensive servicing too, but had decent power and a high top end and very good spec including heated seats, cruise, great stereo. The facelift versions look even better. The Mk2 was good too but not quite as solid feeling.

We’ve had 2 of the original s60’s plus the equivalent v70 and an s80. Loved them all so very much. My friend has one of the few early s60r’s and still now I would have another.

I sell small numbers of 2005-15 Volvos (the best imo) here in Oz. Lucky enough to have an S80V8 and XC70....and a 2006 S60. It has the sports/comfort seat option and as people have said here it is just so comfortable and relaxing to drive and feels so solid - love it. And the coupe style still looks great. Yes, very underrated.

I do like the engineering that goes into convertibles, to make it all fold away and line up is cool engineering.

Having owned multiple P80s, P2s and P3s, I think the oldest ones (850, V70 classic) are the most fun. The big problem with the P2 is rear legroom, and wobbly handling. The P3 is often regarded poorly but I liked it a lot.

My actual daily car is an 2006 S60 2.4 NA, with the B5244S2 engine, only 140hp but it feels like it will run forever and this inline 5 feel a little sporty when you push it, the chasis feel good too. Plus it runs on ethanol which cost 0.75€/L in France, by consuming 9 to 10L/100km the cost is close to a diesel engine that consume a lot less fuel. For less than 50€ i can do 650km easy. The build quality of the car is very good too, mine has the "momentum" package and its feel lik the quality of material used is a lots beter than my previous daily car : a peugeot 607 2.2hdi from 2001 with a more luxurious interior, a car that was the equivalent of an S80 at the time (this car was also a prudy good car, but for sure now i wouldn't exchange my volvo for a peugeot)

I currently own a late 2005 S80. For me, here in the UK the S60 of this generation is a little too common as I often see them around. Its also too small for my liking [But then my first car was a long wheel base BMW 7 Series so maybe I’m just used to barges] however, what you do get is agility and more power because the engines are the same but the weight of the car is of course less. Overall, the S80 makes for a lovely car that for many would tick all their boxes and then some. A shame saloons like these are history with modern tastes for SUVs

Brilliant video, thanks! I´m probably one of the few people who prefer the looks of the S80 of that time. To me the s60 always looked like a not quite mature version of the S80. I had 5 of them...the S80s...:) That´s how much I loved that car! I still keep an eye on them and if I find one in a good shape I might buy it again. The later versions of the S80 and especially S60, under the Ford ownership, I do not like at all. However, the modern ones, that´s another story! Anyway, old love doesn´t rust, does it? :)

I owned a 2017 S60 and it was the most amazing car I have had. I live in New England and we are known for our treacherous winters. When I got the car I put Cooper All Season Mags for all 4 wheels. In the middle of the first winter that I own the vehicle, I was going over a mountain and everybody else was going off the road and sliding around doing 360s and I was just tooling down the road. I have never been afraid of the vehicles, however in my S 60, I was snug as a bug. I never felt safer. I love that car and if possible someday I will own another.

I recently bought a basic 2.4 140hk 2002 in very good condition. Almost no rust and just a few small things to fix. I will not replace my 2016 V70 and really don't know what to do with it ....but I love the green colour 😊

This video absolutely rings true with me. Having owned some 26 cars in my driving career, 11 of them Volvos - I currently have a 2005 V70 in the same Titanium Grey as your lovely S60. I have had this car over 5 years now which is an absolute record for me and I have zero intention of getting rid either. She's just clocked 192k miles and going string. I've got the NA 2.4 petrol and shes punts along nicely thanks to the abundance of torque of the 5 cylinder. I will be doing a 5 year ownership review on my channel soon! I often show people the ECC concept as an example of incredible car design and to me the P2 family are some of the best looking cars ever designed. I love also how the key is shaped like a V70 - details matter! And yes totally agree on those seats. Fantastic video.

I've got a 2006 S60 2.0T 180bhp automatic. Great car, nice 5 cylinder burble, comfy seats, its nice

Wonderful! I miss my R. Will certainly get back into an S60 one of these days..

at moment I actually own the 2006 version scenic, and versatile it is with all the space and cubbies, but it's become a money pit.

I've had a Volvo S60 2 litre TS Automatic, since July 2016, the best car I have ever owned. It has only done 79,000 miles.

I've owned 4 S60 and now , for now own xc70 2004 here in Canada, Quebec

so basically the s60 gen 1 p2 was better than the second gen p3?

V70 D5 02’ 5speed manual With 320k + still runs smoothly, its Capable of going Under 5L/100km easily Seats and space available is incredible I would swap or get anorger v/xc70 with 2.4 petrol 140/170hp 6speeded Most important thing is how safe it makes me feel, way better place to sit in case of emergency

I’ve had 2 of these. A 2004 AWD and. 2008 Rwd both with the 2.5 5Cyl. Absolutely LOVED them. Best cars I’ve ever owned ….and there has been many. Currently have. 2012 P3 that my son drives…also a good car but can’t hold a stick to the P2. Would definitely buy another if the right deal came along.

I have a Volvo S60 R from '04, it's the best car I've ever had by far, the best mix of fast and comfortable you could ask for, the interior feels especially premium for a fast version of a sedan. It also still feels modern, being very well spec'd.

V70 II 2,4i face-lift here. Can verify every single word. Together for 6 years / 140 000 kms. I don't plan to part with it any time soon. Best car I ever had and I don't see any car on the market I would prefer to have instead of it. At literally any price point.

Christ, age catches us all doesn't it geezer!😏😎

like volvos,but expensive to repair, what is it like with your citreon, reliability and issues thanks

Great video! Love that you shared your passion about your ex-love. I share your opinion on the s60 model, bringing out it's hips/curves more. Design is timeless! I own a 1st facelift s60 Summum from Nov2004. Bought it in Oct-15, and still own it. It has the rock-solid 2.4 170hp with 5gear AW55 automatic in the beautiful "Magic Blue" color with purple hints in direct sunlight. I'm the second owner, and probably the last. I will make this car an oldtimer. (someone has to do that, right). Currently has 256K KMs. So just rolled off the lot... Bills are heavy, but I keep on top of things to keep it fresh. When I park, I always look back admiring with a smile. As a driver still a modern comfortable car in many aspects, except turning circle. It does fit 4 crates of beer, which is nice :D - Cheers!

Bro I fully restored a 2006 S60 AWD speakers and interior mint.

03:40 Good thing you didnt but the diesel. Early years of the 2.4D were troublesome. Best option was the very first production units with the last installment of the indestructible 2.5TDI Audi unit. Later they fixed somewhat the 2.4D only to be ruined in the 2nd gen (I own one). Overall the petrols were the best option for the P2 generation as a whole. PS: Volvo and Saab are leagues ahead of the others in terms of seats.

When one of my previous V70s got wrote off I kept the front seats. Now sat on one I converted to my office chair. Got the heating and speakers wired up too.
