It looks better on paper then in reality. (Wife bought the car)
@@Steven-xj2rf You should try the D5, it packs a punch. Great powerband and it got diesel torque for days with its twin turbos. Not a slouch at all! But i agree it is maybe a bit front heavy. I haven't tried personally, but i have heard putting a pair bags of sand in the boot can really make a difference
This is one of my favorite tribute Videos by Jason… The knowledge, honor and dedication is unprecedented. To send the legendary T6 off better than the Swedes could.
I had been looking all over for this episode since I never knew Motor Trend decided to be greedy and delete most of their Head2Head/Ignition videos! Thank god they aren't copyright striking this and deleting these.
I have a 2012 V60 T6 AWD R-Design, and I can confirm the turning radius thing. It is brutal. Also, not sure if it is only mine but the long wheel base makes the body flex a bit when going at an angle over sharp inclines like a steepish driveway and the ride for a semi-performance model is quite stiff so i have to get my wheels straightened every year due to the bad roads where I live.
I own a 2017 Polestar V60 4 pot since Feb 2022. I nearly bought an RS3 and I am glad I got the Volvo. I simply love the super charger whine in sport and it catches people by surprise. Epic car and this video is brilliant.
Duuude, i saw this vid years ago when it came out on the ingnition channel, when the car was up to date. I spend years looking for it! Its finally back! So fun to watch if you care at least little about Volvos :)
As entertaining as ever 👏🏻 This is such a great series. I scratched the fast wagon itch with a BMW 550i a few years ago. But on reflection, 4WD/AWD plus power feels like the best combo for a wagon. This Volvo nails it!
I'm impressed at your tail-out shenanigans. I've had a really hard time getting mine to rotate. I ended up putting on the stiffest rear sway bar I could find, which should help rotation, but mostly it just understeers less now.
8:55 When this video was made, BMW *made* performance station wagons. They still do. We just haven't gotten a fast wagon in the US since the E61 535i left our market.
Best V60 video I have seen in my life. I own myself Dark Blue 2015 V60 D5 AWD Polestar Tuned Ocean Race and it drives like that :D I enjoyed every single second of this video ❤
Love the drag pulling sound for fishing while he’s also reeling at the same time and the fishing line is still wrapped in the Stren wrapper😂 great video of the car though and helpful for someone who is looking to get one!
As owner of a 2017 P* V60 i can only confirm... great to drive, powerful and comfortable. And if you have light foot also economic considering the weight and power.
Now this is a car I love and I remember going for a ride in one when I used to work at a dealership I remember the Volvo Forman took me for a ride in a customers car and after that I fell in love with this rebel blue wagon.
this iteration of the V60 and it's S60 counterpart (with the inline 6 cylinder) will become collector cars no doubt and also relatively rare with such low volumes brought to USA/Canada. In 2015, Canada only got about 12 S60 Polestars
Loved the Adam Sandler bit! I rented a V60 (not Polestar) just prior to the pandemic and drove it through the Balkans (Montenegro, primarily), and just loved it.
I've got the 2016 S60 version of this car, and I can say it's awesome. I miss my standard STi, but this thing is way more comfortable, and the power? My goodness the power. My only question is, should I modify the exhaust to hear more of that I-6 sound?
VOLVO WAGONS...nothing compares....owner of an 04 XC70 T5 AWD. Just added an older version Thule cross bar rack and cargo box...fits the age...Next, widen the stance.....and then...stand and admire. That might be a 2016 version, but damn....it goes like the frikkin wind..super video to enjoy...thanks.
OK, so I looked at one today, and... you sold me. I'm buying one. The last of the Polestar straight-six turbo T6s. In white. I can't decide if this is a case of great minds thinking alike, or fools' minds never differing.
I love the idea of the Polestar V60, but they are hard to find, and I'm very happy with my T5 V60. Plus, the T5 2.0 has the superior Geartronic 8 speed. But, I am 100hp down on the Polestar unfortunately. Still love it though. Oh, the Rebel Blue is so choice too.
I remember seeing this the first time on Motor Trend. The moment that speedometer with MPH showed up, I was saying ''You're sure that's not Alaska?'', because my non American brain couldn't even identify anything snowy with California back then.
Jason, as a 2020 V60 t8 polestar engineered owner I am dying to hear your opinions on it, whether good or bad : ) I’m hoping you think it’s a current gen v60 with a bit of Polestar 1 baked in : ) I liked your S60 t8 review. Cheers
I’m thinking of buying a v60 polestar but honestly I’m not sure which one to go for, the 4 cylinder or the 6 cylinder. Cuz the 6 cylinder obviously sounds better but it also has that ugly 6 speed gearbox. But like surely with a down pipe on the 4 cylinder it won’t sound as bad and it has that active exhaust. But what are other peoples opinions on which one to get
As a Swede, I can confirm that "Long live the hot Volvo wagon" in Swedish is "Öhlins Polstar IKEA Volvo".
SAAB Bacho Electrolux SKF till dig, landsman!

Awesome features are always highlighted properly.
Its like Fortnine for cars
And believe me it has plenty of performance. The HP and TQ numbers are underrated.
This video always cracked me up because of it clearly being filmed in California. What an awesome and unique car.
Near Mammoth it looks like
@@drrockzo4982 Yep. Which Jason finally acknowledges around the 9:25 mark with the "...in Sweden...or not" in the narration and the "City of Los Angeles Property" sign.
I'm impressed with the Ohlins the Polestar seemed as smooth and controlled on those horribly rutted out back roads as my old Range Rover.
The North Carolina manufacturer plate gave it away at the beginning.
they are lucky last winter was one for the record books, this winter so far is a complete dud, no snow :(
As someone with a non -polestar v60, I'm just glad these cars are getting recognition
I have 2013 Volvo S60 T5 AWD in the garage. We nicknamed it the "Tampon" for it being a chick car and being the so so boring to drive.
@@Steven-xj2rf I have a 2013 T6. They’re pretty mild in regular driving but wait till you push it on a backroad

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the effort and care Jason takes to pronounce non-English names and words correctly.
This review is why I pulled the trigger on a 2016 V60 Polestar and I have loved every minute of ownership since
They’re the best ! We ❤️ ours
I've got the 2016 S60 Polestar, but now I have wagon envy 😉
You are easely becoming one of the best car reviewers of all!

I've been a Volvo fan since I was a teenager. Especially the Red Block and the T5. Good show Jason.
I love this one!
I've tried so hard to get my wife to buy one of these. She's a non-car person, but LOVES Rebel Blue .
I have a D5 XC60 in rebel blue, I also tried for one of these and got a no 🤦🏻♂️
@@dorsetwurzle1491 no offense but I pray I never get in a marriage like that
Did this sell in the US?
@@Xolition yea
Please continue posting these videos, it’s actually the best car content ever

Thanks Jason!
We really miss those ignition videos from you!
Very few content makes you happier than these ol' reviews, thanks man
I wish I could have afforded the v60 polestar when I bought my V60CC. Such an amazing vehicle. Jason, awesome video:)
Thank you for these videos Jason
One of your most entertaining episodes ever,... thanks 👍🏽
This is the one I’ve been waiting for.
Waiting for his Q400 red sport review!
At 2:47 I'm pretty sure those are 6 piston brakes in the front.
He is one of the best automotive journalists/ historian.. saw this originally 2015 had to see again 2024
Cheerful car content. It does not get much better than this.
I'm impressed at your tail-out shenanigans. I've had a really hard time getting mine to rotate. I ended up putting on the stiffest rear sway bar I could find, which should help rotation, but mostly it just understeers less now.
try turning off the esc in the car settings. It's supposed to lock the power to 50/50

Great presentation as always Jason, I'm glad I found your personal channel, got a new Sub 😃
Omg, I loved you in "Deadpool 3: The Midlife Crisis"!
(Seriously though, loving all the videos. Thank you.)
I have the sedan version thanks to this video!
Jason your the best car journalist of all times !
“Is that Adam Sandler in the bushes”? What the hell 😂 love these vids and the new Hagerty vids. Keep ‘em coming Jason.
Love the drag pulling sound for fishing while he’s also reeling at the same time and the fishing line is still wrapped in the Stren wrapper😂 great video of the car though and helpful for someone who is looking to get one!
As owner of a 2017 P* V60 i can only confirm... great to drive, powerful and comfortable. And if you have light foot also economic considering the weight and power.
Simply a genius story-teller.
My favorite review of yours... so much so I bought one
I love every single one of your videos Jason. You're the best
Now this is a car I love and I remember going for a ride in one when I used to work at a dealership I remember the Volvo Forman took me for a ride in a customers car and after that I fell in love with this rebel blue wagon.
We got a V60 Diesel hybrid last Summer and have been super happy. Volvos are super comfy and practical. And perform well.
I love that you went all in for the Polestar joke in the Polestar 1 review 😁🤣
Such a great car with that classic eye-popping colour.
this iteration of the V60 and it's S60 counterpart (with the inline 6 cylinder) will become collector cars no doubt and also relatively rare with such low volumes brought to USA/Canada. In 2015, Canada only got about 12 S60 Polestars
Jason, you're a great car guy! Love your content. But that fishing scene at the beginning cracked me up with how you're holding that spinning reel! 🤣
I didn't see any line on it either.
I was wondering how many people would point out him holding the rod upside down. It’s not a fishing show so who cares haha.
8spd zf, better infotainment (apple carplay wireless...you can get it added....)....wish they still did this...great video.
Wow, this is so well done. Subscribed.
Thank you Jason for bringing us the New Top Gear.
Loved the Adam Sandler bit! I rented a V60 (not Polestar) just prior to the pandemic and drove it through the Balkans (Montenegro, primarily), and just loved it.
I love my 2020 V60 T5, it could only be improved by the I6 in this video, and in my (former) '09 V60. What an engine.
2020 V60 is among the most beautiful cars out there
A turbo 5 cylinder and a manual like the one in the old R models would be even better
Damn, was this really 6 years ago?
I wish the Polestar wagon had kept up with the E63 AMG wagon.
I've got the 2016 S60 version of this car, and I can say it's awesome. I miss my standard STi, but this thing is way more comfortable, and the power? My goodness the power. My only question is, should I modify the exhaust to hear more of that I-6 sound?

You're back! Eagerly waiting for your q400 and 570s review!!!
This video made me want a Polestar SO badly the first time I saw it.
Don't know why I enjoy looking at a review of the car I drive! But it is fun, Länge leve Volvo kombin!
2:47 saying 4 piston callipers but showing the 6 pistoned
My friend owns one of these and when he took me on a drive I was blown away, I would kill to own in the future
I wish VOLVO still made their polestar cars like this! what a gem of a car
Jason Camissa is a welcome addition to the greats of motoring journalists. Headed, once, by Clarkson, now replaced by Chris Harris.
Chris Harris is more a driver than a journalist if you ask me.
I believe the front brakes are 6 pistons, not 4 as mentioned.
OK which is it? The video description says 2016 and the graphic at 1:08 says 2015. I gots to know.
Jason’s hilarious did I mention give this man a raise before give him another one he deserves it
I love my v60 polestar! It's amazing in frigid conditions! Problem is I live in sunny southern California.
This is exactly how I still drive my 2001 XC70 with the I-5 Turbo and why I refuse to get rid of it. Too much fun.
I love my Volvo. Next up for sure will be the T8 V60
Nice! I have been sesrching for this video! Any chance I will see the Supercar Superbuild Maserati Ghibli episode in your channel?
I only had the humble 180hp FWD version of this wagon for a while, but man do I miss it....
They are of Motortrend.. How did they let go of all their videos.
Looks like 6 piston caliper up front instead of 4
OK, so I looked at one today, and... you sold me. I'm buying one.
The last of the Polestar straight-six turbo T6s. In white.
I can't decide if this is a case of great minds thinking alike, or fools' minds never differing.
Nice of MT to let you use the footage.
The red sand/dirt under the snow in the first shot should've been the giveaway it wasn't Sweden but it took a second watch to notice it.
Adam Sandler in the bushes, So Cal 4 Sweden & a Subaru hat. LOL, priceless.
I love the idea of the Polestar V60, but they are hard to find, and I'm very happy with my T5 V60.
Plus, the T5 2.0 has the superior Geartronic 8 speed. But, I am 100hp down on the Polestar unfortunately. Still love it though.
Oh, the Rebel Blue is so choice too.
Jason I love you......but you were totally holding that fishing reel backwards 😂
More regular car Ignitions please! The people have spoken!
Seen this vid few times before... but never noticed SOUTH CAROLINA manufacturers plates in Sweeden???
Whats the deal??
love wagons! I just bought a v60!
“Brembo 4 pistons up front”. Nope. Definitely 6 pistons @2:47
I remember seeing this the first time on Motor Trend. The moment that speedometer with MPH showed up, I was saying ''You're sure that's not Alaska?'', because my non American brain couldn't even identify anything snowy with California back then.
@
JasonCammisa 2:47 6-piston front brake, not 4-piston....
Well done Jason. Really nice car and nice video too. Except that hat of yours that says "subaru rally team" :)
Definitely a dope wagon!
Jason, as a 2020 V60 t8 polestar engineered owner I am dying to hear your opinions on it, whether good or bad : ) I’m hoping you think it’s a current gen v60 with a bit of Polestar 1 baked in : ) I liked your S60 t8 review.

Deep down Jason is a Subaru fan boy @7:55 :)
Dang, your going to make me buy a Volvo again
You are holding the fishing rod upside-down 😅
Sorry, was this really filmed in Sweden? It’s got a US plate at the rear with US spec headlamps…
I love my Volvo
Bought one last November great car
Please review Hyundai I20N, please... It's manual =)
Sold mine 3 months ago. Got more than I paid for it 3 years ago. Still sad and miss her dearly
Brembo 4 piston calipers up front? you mean six?
THIS is my dream car. Just a little out of my price range.
There’s very few aftermarket support for these cars.. I wish it was stronger because this is a great car to build upon.
As someone living in Sweden, even the landscape is a giveaway that it is NOT Sweden. You would be arrested for driving that in the wilderness.
I'm guessing holding the fishing rod upside-down was intentional for comedic purpose?I hope.
