Possible compassion video between this and my Turbo X in the future??
Absolutely, would be interesting
Yess
Yea get this guy to experience the Saab 👌🏻
This place looks really good, so where id you guys film this? And are there any similar locations around/in MS ( yes, I would like to see that)
I was hoping this video would have been exactly that :p since I got to know the turbo X I've been comparing the 2 :-D Volvo maybe easier to work ok, more reliable engine? Saab better awd system, maybe faster? No idea :-D
I've been blessed with owning both Volvos & saabs & whilst I love the saab 2.8T there is something really unique & special about an ultra reliable 5 cylinder volvo.
yeah, they're quite cool
Nice. I'm on my 2nd S60R, and it's got 230,000 miles on the odometer.
holy shit that's 370kkm, i think every single car is more or less shit at 300kkm
Woah! Cool
Amazing!
I'm on my 2nd also.
How reliable are S60R??
@@leonelperaza94 I'm the owner in the video, the only thing I've had break on it was the original radiator and the original power steering pump. Besides that, no issues whatsoever. Mine has 88k miles on it, and I've had it since 69k.
My S60R was special, got it when i was 18 in 2007.... I miss it looking to buy another one but its almost impossible to find manual for sale
nice!!
One of my favorite cars I've ever owned was a 05 s60R in the grey with light tan interior and the full stock body kit.
nice!
I owned an s60r for 3 years and didn't appreciate it enough. I sold it in 2016 and have regretted it every day since. I just bought another s60r yesterday and have no desire to ever sell it. These cars drive so uniquely no other car compares im my mind
nice! congrats on the purchase
Having owned 2 S60's, one of them a 2003 T5, and currently a Saab 9-3 Aero -05, I can't really decide which is "better" it all depends on what you're comparing, there are pros and cons for each.
definitely
Sorry but saab & other manufacturer 4 & 6 cylinder is so played out. You gotta admit the inline 5 cylinder is exotic & rare an sound
Even volvo T6 sounds like everybody else buzzer 6 cylinder
The 2.8 Saab V6 sounds better lol
Guys you must close DSTC completely by pushing 5 times simultaneously to get real performance of this car
Yes. Definitely do a head to head with this S60R and your 9-3 WXD Aero. I already know what the outcome will be.
What you didn't do is disengage the Volvo's DSTC, aka Traction Control? I luv that Saab of yours, but..2nd place here is 1st place everywhere else!🤗
*Turbo X lol
9-3 X is nothing if you compare with R, R is unique with it's 4c and amazing engine, for right comparison you must compare 9-3 X with P2 S60 T5 AWD, R is far from 9-3 X
Love your vids bro I actually own a 2004 SAAB 9-3 Aero and a 2004 S60R 153,000 and 185,00 respectively. Love the ease or repairs on the SAAB and love everything about our 2004 R! Keep up the vids you rock! Owned my Volvo since 2005 brand new!
Nice! Glad you got some saabs too!
Easy repairs? I've had nothing but diffuckt ones when I owned my aero 😂
I think 9-3s with an exhaust and the turbo x still sound a lot better but I mean it’s Swedish better than most manufacturers so I like both but saab always has had my go to pick
true!
Actually saab and Volvo are made up of Ford Renault and Opel/GMC parts but some of the engines are original swedish design.
These are really are great. Never had the s60r but my 04 s60 was the best car I ever had.
awesome
Still have that s60 from 2004 and it's simply incredible. Mine's the 2.0T, which one was yours?
Saab and volvo come on swedish sensible we like both. Both brands if you can get decent example get one, rare. Parts though 🤔same as saab. But when do you see theses cars on the road. They don't make cars this good looking anymore. 👍👌
Yeah, never really see any S60R's!
Nope. They don't.
Come to Sweden, they’re overflowing here
Huge Volvo guy but I’m definitely also a big fan of Saabs
touche, except the opposite for me! Volvos seem to be awesome
Almost bought a newer S60 R about 6 months ago, but held off, came to my senses, and instead, added two more 9-3's!
Lol
Are those specific saabs reliable or ? Not gone lie I want one I have an s60r and a base s60 as a daily.. but I've soon some saabs that's look dope and I just like anything swedish
My B8 A4 broke down, and the mechanic has no idea what is wrong with it. So I'm planning on getting a reliable Volvo and there's someone selling one of these in my area, decided to see if it's worth it.
Damn bro I’m trying to find one of these but literally there isn’t a single manual one within like 250 miles of where I live
i traveled 3,000 miles for my saab lol
Wanna come to Florida? 😂
Eventually selling mine, has a lot of miles, but the engine head was resurfaced, head gasket changed, almost everything in the engine bay was replaced and she runs so well lol 2006
Where did you see the gauge clusters were designed the somebody at Koenigsegg?
I have this same year and model in Flash Green 👏🏽💪🏽 VOLVO for life!
Nice!
Well that was a most interesting review of sorts, I was expecting more ownership issues from the owner (from what I've heard)? These R models aside from great performance, have notorious maintenance issues, particularly with the active suspension, plus the AWD system and cracked cylinder heads unlike the non turbo engine versions? Some say they have to be handled like glass!
There is a local 2003 R to me with 50,000 miles in great condition, totally stock and not thrashed. Cheers
5:46 Our Australian S60R's have a slightly different program.
The car will always start in the chassis mode that you left it in unlike the US cars that always go back to 'Comfort' mode.
interesting
@@AutoAutopsy
I think Aussie S60R's are closer to European specs than US cars are.
I've always enjoyed the sound from their 5 cylinder engines. However.. The TurboX sounds even better! ;-)
Agreed! The S60R sounds great, but not as good as the TX!
I have to admit, this is true. X sounds better stock for stock.
Another plus in favor of the X it's rarer and younger than a R. Here, in the NE I barely see 1 or 2 a yr? That, I like. I have a guy at the Swedish Connection, NJ who has his eye out for me. 🤞
However, the X isn't as sophisticated as an R. The R's were yrs ahead of the competition and they're faster. I'm still running down all 150mph wannabees! 😉 Funny, when there's rm nobody wants to step up? 🤔
Like the format of the video, the music and review ;) Was brought up “on” Volvos..hey Swedish brand and being from Sweden, what you’d expect? Haha! Love the cars just so sad they where so late in to the performance scene. With Polestar not really being included in the brand like Hirsch for Saab or M for BMW, AMG for Mercedes and so on...
Haha, true ;)
I agree. But, the Polestar has been severely detuned to 362hp for "mass" production. I've seen only 1 black estate on NYC streets.
Yeye, P2 Volvos are nice, i've had a few. Really great for making you sleepy. Nothing like a Saab.
Lol
5 cars on the highway :
Pulls from 60-120 mph
The machines :
2004 wrx STI vs
2007 Volvo S60R vs
Saab 9000 Aero vs
Saab 9-3 Aero 2.8T vs
2004 Audi S4
What car is gonna be the
faster 60-100 70-120 mph.
Probably the saab 2.8, volvo, or audi
my dad got the same in manual and it was so fast i was like :o
nice!
@@AutoAutopsy i didnt expected u to comment on thid
The R-kelly intake,nice
My dream car❤
:0
Doesn’t the R have dual exhausts..?
rybhugo Aftermarket exhaust
This didn't
Auto Autopsy I apologize
No. Not stock. It's 1 pipe that ends with a spliter tail piece.
Advance mode also provides better throttle response..
That’s suspension only
@@AutoAutopsy no it's not .. google it.
@@AutoAutopsy Advanced mode does increase throttle mapping. I own one.
“Clutch, catching” well has it been sitting a while? Full torque at 2100 rpm…
huh?
I have a Saab 9-3 and a xc90 v8, I just wish the Volvo transmission didn’t suck!
it's a aisin unit i think
Later model 9-3s and p2 volvos use basically the same aisin tf80sc 6 speed auto transmission
Both aisin units but they both are different, with the fwd unit being stronger. Not to mention the Volvo being harder to work on. Always felt it was the weak link on the Volvos.
Flushes on the Saab are about 10 times easier, and the Volvo definitely isn’t a maintenance free transmission and VIDA+flushes have saved the vehicle..
@@youtubeendorsesleftistprop4304 why would the volvo be harder to work on than Saab? Just look up how to do something and it's probably not "hard" anymore
4:26 - Look at the mouth :D XDDD lol
😭😭
"Oh, well thats good" lool
lol
Im saving up for one, at end of the year do any of yall know what I sould look for when buying ie mileage, flaws, mods, and other sht? Idk how to go about it ive had 2 volvos so far and i love em the s40 1.9t and the 850 gle was my first car
Try joining some Volvo forums and facebook groups. I unfortunately don't know enough about them to tell ya
Only settle for awd. It’s a game changer
What Exhaust are you running and is it turbo back ?
I bought a 3" turboback downpipe from RaceS60R and went to a muffler shop for a 3" catback and the magnaflow muffler. The exhaust tip is from IPD I believe.
Before my Saab i had a Volvo the s80 T6 .... I been curious about this vehicle ..
it's a pretty solid unit lol
Another thing I would say. The 18s pegs are waaay to heavy for my daily taste. Don’t give me wrong the S60R is a good car as a sport daily but that’s it nothing else really.
If you want a daily race car Porsche has a few. However, only you and your lady will fit!
Jamie Smith lmao. Nah I’ve been looking at 6th gen Camaros. Time for some V8 action
2004 bmw m3 does have a chassis change when you use the sport mode
cool!
no
Adjustable electronic suspension was even in Peugeot 405 mi16
Saab vs Vovlo did you try to take a corner?
I discussed handling in this video.
2d gear is the fun gear on all s60 actualy
👍🏼👊🏼
Groovy but I like the Turbo X !
Me too :)
Thinking about selling my 2002 honda civic and buy one of this manual
that would be a nice upgrade!
I was actually looking for the wagon version
That would the v70r
^
I'm curious, who provided the tune, and where did u get that nasty grill
that's a question for the owner, sorry!
Hilton Tuning provided the e-tune. Great tuner. The grill was an overpriced piece of crap I paid $130 for. The fitment is terrible, so I had to zip tie the crap out of it until it looked alright.
A TH-camr named itsjusta6 has a RARE Volvo S60 which he put a dual exhaust and it sounded like a viper
What makes it rare?
Jacob timmerman I think it’s the turbocharged engine
Link the channel?
Auto Autopsy m.th-cam.com/channels/UNSNLJINivbSu-Yg9hk13w.html
I thought a lot of them had the turbos. His channel is “itsjusta6” he’s got some good videos
I miss my 5 pot now ):
:(
Volvon är bättre än Saaben, men kanske inte bättre än 9-3 Turbo x 😋🤭
saab bättre än volvo :D
Swedish cars best cars
you know it
In Sweden Volvo always been more liked than saab
i wouldn't say that's the truth
But them on a line !
Hopefully in s future video ;)
Why would he paint the calipers smfh
My biggest regret, I did it and immediately hated how it looked. Just wanted the brembo look since they're technically Brembo.
Volvo is good, almost as good as saab. But not quite 😏
Haha
The Turbo X will cost less to own, in the short+long run lol
Tbh i think the Volvo IS pretty cheap to own atleast here on Finland... And If you are concerned about The cost to own a car you have chosen the wrong hobby and should move to model cars.
@@arzkyy597 unless somebody else is buying all your things, 99 percent of people are thinking about how much repairs will be. Chances are, you have never owned a S60R.
@@arzkyy597 Bro I really have a hard time believing you, 3 P2R Standard Volvos... Who are you fooling? The blocks don't crack unless you try to push crazy power with some crazy big turbo. The transmissions are basically the same as a the AWD models so there isn't exactly a variation.
@@RyanCunningham12 consider i am from Finland we have a lot More volvos here and finns mostly drive manual and i can get parts and cars easily from Sweden...
@@RyanCunningham12 oh yeah and i forgot about The halfex anglegear braking but IT got reinforced on The 2006 model
I mean my 91 3000gt vr4 has variable suspension, lmao so not that new.
thought we mentioned that in the video...?
has anyone noticed that they look the exact same... even their shirts... and their voice.. oh god
oof
“Better than my Turbo X?”
Hahahaha NO
It will definitely erase your Saab, Saabs can be Chinese copy of Volvo only in any ways so it's already give up to manufacture of cars
Fahreddin KAYA What?
saab is faster and fwd and its spotier and sounds better
Not all saabs are FWD!
@@AutoAutopsy yea ik but fwd r faster then some awd volvos
👍🏼👍🏼
I Hate BMWs, They are ALL So UGLY the new ones and slow compared to Volvo S60 R, They r the only German Car Brand i hated, i only liked a lil bit of the older models 1990s and under.
oh
First
want a prize...
?
Congrats! :) lol
