- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The brand new 2013 Volvo S60 T5 AWD is a fast, sleek and powerful Swedish sedan that has a well earned reputation for safety. But what's is it like to live with the new Volvo S60 T5? We spend a week driving and getting to know most vehicles that we review and sometimes we discover some unexpected surprises. Here are the top three unexpected surprises of the new Volvo S60 T5 AWD.
My 2013 Volvo S60 T5 has a back up camera.
I think it’s a great car.
Gotta say, volvos 5cylinders sounds AWSOME
I like the child discipline button!
The back up camera is optional not standard if that is what you meant.
I think its such a great looking car. A lot more personality than a 3 series, but maybe I just think that because I live in LA and EVERYONE drives a 3 series lol!
5 cylinder more power than 4, better sound and little bit more fuel consumption :)
Łukasz staight 6 is better than shitty 5 banger. Turbo supercharger polestar tune 350hp is plentynof power.
yeah man 5cyl or bust. when it comes to volvos i won't even consider a 3.2 or t6 if a 5 is on the table.
@@wek33 V12 V10 V8 R6 V6 R5 ;)
@@ukasz2901 ah yes, forgot about the v8. i drove a v8 s80 once. it was sick.
I wish Volvo had a 6 speed manual for the T6 AWD. That would be SO much fun!
Rear headrest button is awesome I have one in my 2006 s60 t5. Gave my friend a good whack when he wouldn’t shut up xD
Same with mines😂
The "BACKUP CAMERA" is the best .
you can get a backup camera its in the platinum package.
Bad habit. I comment before I watch the whole thing... I love Volvos too...
1. Ever heard of parking sensors?
2. Gear paddles are for footballers.
3. Fuel economy with more power.
This really is the mid-line car... not the top of the line R-Design (or even more impressive Polestar)
I was really REALLY amused by the head 2 head you guys did against cars $20k more, without you all explaining that it was the bottom rung against the top rungs...
It does have a turbo, just like the Jetta. It is also better on fuel than the Jetta.
Yes T5
that 2.5 can be tuned and re worked for alot for over 350hp
Looking forward to that 'Holiday series' too. Always liked Vipers.
And no to say that Volvo makes pretty much all construction vehicles, and 18-wheeler trucks. Big reputation!
In all the Volvo's I've ever owned, I haven't once backed up over anything that I didn't mean to... and none of them had backup cameras... I *do* like my head smackers... head rests ... in my S60R...
You can get a park assist camera (front and/or back) as an accessory
There better be a 0-60 test somewhere in your Viper montage next week.
Good series Roman. Personally I'm not sold on backup cameras. When you're backing up, driving in reverse shouldn't we be looking behind us in all directions, using mirrors, instead of fixating on a small video-screen in the center of the dash? I think it's more of a distraction or gimmick than a truly usable feature. Commercials try to sell it as if you'll be backing up over kids or dogs in the driveway if you don't have on installed! Nonsense. That headrest feature looks nice though!
2:48 - A 5 cylinder has 'the fuel economy of a 4, with the power of a 6'..... No, a 5 cylinder has the economy of a 5, with the power of a 5.
Have never owned a Volvo, but have heard, HEARD, mind you, that they are expensive to repair from other Volvo owners. Also, do not see many of them in the parking lot at work. Just an observation.
Okay good! Makes me feel better! Thank you.
Guys why dont you do the skoda superb it is best in class for space and really good for getting around
Isn't the Focus ST a 5Cyl inline?
Why would you need a backup camera? You have the sensors to do the job. People expect too much electronic devices in a car with is disturbing. I drive a 3 series and with no navigation.
They are where Audi was 20 to 15 years ago, they are good quality cars and that means more expensive quality parts, but they are no way near as expensive to maintain as a Mercedes, BMW, or Audi.
Volvo are better than all they are airplanes
What surprises me even more is that Volvo are still producing the same power level T5 they made in the end of 90/ies. Come on, still 250 hp?
You must be kidding me! My mother has her Volvo xc90 for 6 years and no problems! Unlike yourself that doesnt take care of your car "will" have problems! And even though Volvo has been bought by Geely, its just an amazing swedish car!
What are your thoughts on sourcing parts for the 5 cylinder engine when they stop making them? I ask because my mother in law got a XR5 Focus when it first out and if she decided to keep it long term, repairs etc will become a greater issue.
Yeah man. I got my mom's 2006 V50 2.4i for my first car. Even with the awful 5 speed auto, the engine sounds great at 4000rpm, almost sounds like a V10 --- too bad it doesn't go like one ahhah.
My 99 benz has the fold down head rests :)
Lol.. I can't use a backup camera no matter how hard I try 😂
Why does everybody need a back up camera? For 45 years of driving , I've never needed one ..
Marktuyet There's a lot of tech that a good Driver doesn't need actually
'Unexpected surprise' - what other sort is there!
There was an 'expected surprise' and that was that an American would think that an automatic transmission with a shift override is a manual transmission
4:03 its a turbo 5 inline
Why does my 2.5l 5 cylinder Jetta have 170 horsepower, but this has 250? Does this have a turbo?
The T5 in Europe is a Ford (well, I'm guessing it's a Ford) 2 litre inline four with 240 bhp, so "real" T5 it's already gone here.
What we do have, at least in Sweden is an aftermarket Bi Fuel (Biogas/Natural gas) version with a 2 litre inline five with, well, only 213 bhp. BUT IT'S A FIVE!!!!
I'm going the miss the 5 cylinder thrum
Wauw with hardstyle.
Awesome car, the estate is HUGE. And then the V6 with DSG and AWD. What a car... pfff
if i had $35k to spend on a car this would prob be it, as single male in his late 20's
Great
For one thing, VW won't (hasn't) brought the Skoda over to the USA, so kind of difficult to get a hold of around here. Especially since the USA government has killed the gray-market industry. No bringing in cool cars... sucks.
Good video. Can someone tell me what the background music is?
hahah, the t5 are fast enough for a ordinary family sedan ;)
2.5 liter 5 cylinder Jetta's don't have turbos.
come on seriously why the hell would you need a backup cam in a CAR? i drive a ford f-150 with no sensors and no camera, and i manage perfectly fine, its called rear view mirror/ side view mirror, and having a feeling for the car that many people lack today because they relie so much on tech
to be honest, I find backing up a pickup truck way easier than a car. The end is square, and you can clearly see the corners. You have a bigger rear window and you're closer too it, which gives a wider field of view. Cars tend to slope down at the back and have rounded corners, compounded with having smaller rear windows (to slope the rear of the cabin in a visually appealing way) and a longer distance between driver and rear window. I don't really have a desire for a backup camera, but to say "I can back up a pickup truck with no sensors, why would you need it for a car" is a bit backwards.
Well we just decided on a 2013 S60 T5 AWD over the Touareg TDI, XC60 and XC70. The get up and go was plenty, no need for the T6. The T5 was still push yourself intot he seat backs but yet have good gas mileage. And when you slap the gear shift knob to the left it goes into Automatic Sport mode then you can still do manual gear selection if you wish. Who cares about paddle shifting...LOL It's and automatic. Oh and backup camera our had it on it...but then it sticker'ed at $45,000.
I own a 2.4i s40 I love the shit out of that car
I hate backup camera... backup sensor is better, I hate fake paddle shifters.. better not to have them, and I still love I5 engine.
I didn't watch that far...
They just used a Volvo one.
europe, long live manual transmission
lol... but true
Your so wrong. The chinese got shitloads of money and are going to invest a lot in Volvo the next couple of years. Did Jaguar or Land Rover became poorer when they sold those brands to India...? No! just look at the Land Rover Evoque or the Jaguar XK..never been so good!
Love the S60! FIRST
the lord of mundane : /
why not thats really dumb :(
Owned Volvo s70,nothing but problems. Thank you but no,Volvo is on my shit list. Especially now after Chinese bought it,Volvo gonna get worse
a five cylinder car has a fuel economy of a 6 and power of a four...
