If I may digress to a more personal side I would say: I think you really are a very nice and polite person Thomas. I liked your calm, peaceful, subjective yet positive way of explanation. You just provided me with good information. What's more, you made me feel good. :) Thank you !
love this car i own an s60 t4 r-design 2014 and is very happy to drive it and when he talked about the controls for the infotainment system you can control everything from the buttons on the steering wheel so you dont realy have to interact with the big round buttons on the center console
The S60 looks dynamic and solid and classic timeless at the same time :) You should testdrive the V60 Cross country with D4 AWD :) Very good review, i agree with you about the nice details in the interior :)
I have the 2016 T5 awd inscription It has extra legroom a longer wheelbase a five cylinder engine I will drive in Turbo and it’s the nicest car I’ve ever drove I also upgraded the intake manifold and all kinds of stuff it’s a bad ass car
Another great review. The only thing I don't like with all Volvo's, is the infotainment system. The screen is pretty small and hopefully they'll improve in the future.
Like the other comments, I agree the interior design of XC90 would serve this Vehicle much better going forward to include the updated Electronics ! Thanks for the review and update ! Joe
TechExplorer Thanks for watching that early! Still like the "old" Volvo interior, however will be indeed exciting when this one gets an update in a couple of years.
Hallo. Ich habe eine frage, ist dieser Motor von Renault oder Ford gebaute , bei Volvo? Da ich gehört habe das sie zusammen Arbeiten. Welches Volvo Auto hat einen Diesel Motor von Renor
let me have a wild guess, Thomas. the thing you most hate about this S60 is the long gearshift. it travels from Toronto to Sydney. LOL! and watching you sitting in the backseat causes me some pain. hopefully the Chinese owners realize Germans have taller average height and the next generation comes with longer wheelbase to compete with E-class, 5-series, A6/S6, and Lexus GS etc. leave the C-class, 3-series, A4 etc to the S40/V40. btw, i don't need these weird-looking (maybe) headrests cause watching your videos is always sooo relaxing! bravo!
Very interesting review, thank you. I have a V60 D4 R-Design with Geartronic. Two quick notes: (1) the Geartronic box, which I agree is excellent, is supplied by Aisin-Warner, I think, not ZF; (2) you can operate the satnav without having to reach down to the centre console, as you can use the thumbwheel and exit button on the right-hand side of the steering wheel.
MrCarGuy20 Thanks! In this case, the Geely buyout (2010) happened at quite the same time the S60 2nd generation was introduced. Dont think they had any effect on that one, but maybe the better money situation made the facelift possible in 2013 :)
***** In reality, Geely (or any other financial investors) don't have any input on the development at all. Of course, this platform was designed under the last Ford days but, Geely has provided more monetary investment in the betterment of Volvo's vehicles. This is why the designers and engineers now have more freedom to act as they want, and less corporate pressure. You will notice there are leaps in technology development and material quality post-2010.
I find the German cars serious and masculine. I like Volvo because it has some masculine qualities but also some feminine qualities as well. It's softer yet purposeful.
you probably dont care at all but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account? I somehow lost the password. I would love any tips you can give me
@Sylas Maurice Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Great review, I agree about the alloys, they should be at least 18 inch, def gof ro the Rline, as for the gearbox Volvos are known to have stiff gearboxes, I dont like the Sat nav i think you need a better way of changing settings whilst driving. Seats are great. Keep up the good work!!!

Well, finally I can watch this review! I've been busy this days XD. As always, very well done. There's a little raccord mistake when your glasses mysteriously disappear when you go to the back seats. About the car, I think the front view is too bland, it looks more American than European to me. Even if the car is more in the comfortable side, I would say that some sharp lines, without going crazy, would do him well. Also, the trunk and the rear seats would greatly benefit from a new platform, in the fashion of the MQB of VW/Audi, it can make miracles.
pitthepig Hey! Thanks for watching :) Well the glasses werent a mistake because they were too wet to see anything through them ;-) Indeed the rear seats have less space than with MQB, imho the S60 is more a "comfortable driver's car"
crazyjack000 LOL if anything, they copied Volvo. Everyone copied the original XC90 design for SUVs. Volvos are utterly beautiful. But each man has his own opinion, as wild as they all are. :D
I'm watching this video in 2024 and yes, I can confirm that this Volvo has timeless design and even now it looks modern and stylish
Love your reviews, your attention to detail is so rewarding for us, the viewers!
Thank you!
Neb Franc love to hear that! I hope you are joining us for more reviews

A very comprehensive and informative review! I really like how you talk about things that actually matter when buying and owning a car.
myvolvoforlife thanks, highly appreciated!
Video just uploaded, FULL HD should be available soon.
Done - enjoy Full HD :)
I love this car. I would buy it in a heart beat.
The S60 looks dynamic and solid and classic timeless at the same time :)
You should testdrive the V60 Cross country with D4 AWD :)
Very good review, i agree with you about the nice details in the interior :)

+KunstturnTeam Oberhausen glad we could help =)
You can have full control for sensus form stering wheel wich is only in Volvo, you forget to told that.

***** There will actually be a new S90 first, which shares the XC90 interior. The S90 is replacing the S80.
MrCarGuy20 starting big first :)
I like this review thanks from Denver Colorado
greetings!

Welches Volvo Auto hat einen Diesel Motor von Renor
U introduce every detailes to detailes iam precciated .
+David Innocent 👍👍
1:40, it's adaptive cruise control, not automatic cruise control
Thanks to your report, I have just bought S60 D4 Dynamic edition.
enjoy m8 !
It is very good car, very comfortable, but what about if the windscreen sensor is blocked?
let me have a wild guess, Thomas. the thing you most hate about this S60 is the long gearshift. it travels from Toronto to Sydney.

Calvin So thanks! =) You analyzed that very well :)
calvin so They don't design. They just own. :)

Julian Parish Hey, thanks for the remarks!
I sat in the back of a 2017 s60 t5 and the leg room was very tight just tiny bit more space than a Ford Focus but no much really.
Does someone own Volvo S60 II Generation T3 Petrol? Any reviews? I really wanna buy the one I mentioned and was wondering for some opinions.
Test S60 CC if you can, would be nice to see what they done there.
Great review! Volvo is getting better under their new owners in my opinion.
MrCarGuy20 Thanks! In this case, the Geely buyout (2010) happened at quite the same time the S60 2nd generation was introduced. Dont think they had any effect on that one, but maybe the better money situation made the facelift possible in 2013 :)

MrCarGuy20 Indeed, thanks for your feedback
without a doubt volvo's make the best interiors! by far! for me the german brand just look to much "macho" and anything but stylefull.
I find the German cars serious and masculine. I like Volvo because it has some masculine qualities but also some feminine qualities as well. It's softer yet purposeful.

Saeed Anwar Thank you very much, I can just agree!
i prefer the r design with the "entry" seats in half leather and fabric (alcantara)
+Hundra14Kronor yeah. I am not quite sure, that could also be faux leather outside then

+Autogefühl are the Volvo plants in Sweden being shut down? I visited a dealership, and all parts were made in China and Japan for this model!
My favorite car volvo for life..... will you maybe reviewing r-designe, polestar??
Nineq 96 Hey, lets see if I can get the next Volvo in R-Design.
***** that be great
I would really like to watch your reviews of new Ford Focus Estate Ecoboost petrol 1,0 later and Ford B-Max :-)
What's the mpg on this?
Aston is a shopping trolley.
r design loads beter . so much sportier and aggressive looking
Danguligu dunguliguzadə
Good review but let's admit it. Horrible center console! I would prefer to wait to next year.
+Luis Magana Horrible? What is a nice console for you, from what brand?
+Luis Magana i didnt like it too, but when i drove this car i loved it.
It looks like a Mercedes CLA
Edugoeller lol idk where you got that from but not really
Ugly car awful omg...
What an ugly looking volvo. The front end looks a lot like a new subaru wrx and some ford models.
crazyjack000 LOL if anything, they copied Volvo. Everyone copied the original XC90 design for SUVs. Volvos are utterly beautiful. But each man has his own opinion, as wild as they all are. :D
Jonathan Ongman More people disagree with you.
