Picked up my 2018 volvo s60 with 52k miles. I absolutely love the car, and it is packed with gadgets. The only annoyance is that the car doesn't come with android auto and Apple carplay. The thing that surprised me the most is how much power the car has. The turbocharged 4 cylinder is punchy, and with plenty of torque. The 8 speed automatic transmission makes an excellent combination for the car. The only thing I don't like about my car is it didn't come with the optional and more powerful speakers. Also, it didn't come with heated seats. I need that option since it's so cold here in Maryland. Enjoy your volvo guys!
I spent 3 years with that S60 and really enjoyed. My sister has it now, and shockingly it's been trouble-free. There is an option to retrofit Apple CarPlay/Android Auto - go to swedespeed.com and check out some threads that describe how to do that.
@EUROCARGUY glad to hear about the reliability aspect of the car. Actually that was my next question and you have read my mind. Good to know becauee that was my main concern. I will check out that option of how to add the apple carplay. Thanks for the tip.
@@EUROCARGUY I certainly did, it absolutely goes like a rocket, and sounds awesome doing it. We have some nice twisty, hilly roads on the outskirts of Sydney, so naturally I had to test it out. 😄
I have the exact same car as shown with about 27k miles. I've driven it for about 20k. I absolutely love it, except for maintenance. Bro. What. A. Pain. It has been. I don't like going to the dealer because yk, expensive. But doing it on my own has been difficult compared to other cars and brands. But its European what did I expect ? Anyways. I replaced the struts with a friend over the summer and that was not fun for many reasons. More recently, I just did an oil change today. I had a lot of difficulty removing the part where the oil filter sits. The part to remove it is hard to come by here in the States because it is made specifically for European models. gah. I digress, the car has been more than reliable. However, I have had troubles with air pressure in my tires and was wondering if anyone had the same issue. Maybe just my weird climate. Anyways, I would definitely recommend this car to anyone. It also has extremely high safety ratings and is AWD! ALSO::: I have never taken the car over 4.5-5 rpm like this you did. I'm SCARED. Idk. I think I should replace the spark plugs/coils and transmission fluid first.
I’ve owned two v60 p3’s one with the 5cyl and one with the 4cyl and both are very easy to work on. Oil change on both are simple to do compared to other modern euro cars. I put about 30k a year on mine and both proved to be very reliable.
Recently got a 2015 d2 model and the only thing I have to say isn't perfect is that the 6 speed automatic transition is very noticable at times, the deceleration especially feels jerky when it suddenly decides to change gears when slowing down.
It's a safe, easy to live with, comfortable car. I had had it for three years and never regretted getting it. Now it's in my sister's possession who's not a car enthusiast, but enjoys driving it and doesn't plan on getting rid of it any time soon. Two things you have to take under consideration though, are that the S60 being a European luxury sedan (if you look at Volvo as a luxury brand), will be more expensive to maintain. Another thing is turning radius is pretty big and the car is relatively wide for a compact sedan.
Surprisingly good, you can comfortably travel up to ~85 mph. New generation models based on SPA platform have better isolated engine bay and wheel arches.
@@thurkan16 so I usually average 21 MPG (11.2 l/100 km) in the city, 33 MPG (7.1 l/100 km) on highway, and 26 MPG (9 l /100 km) combined. One thing I must say is that the T5 AWD variant is not the most fuel efficient.
The video doesn’t do the justice, but I can guarantee that the Corolla has less refined ride and more road & wind noise. I had a chance to spend sometime with both cars and the S60 was my daily for 3 years. Toyota will undoubtedly be more reliable though, and cheaper to maintain.

@EUROCARGUY I am in the website. Do you the actual link to the section of how to add android auto and Apple carplay? Thanks man.
Those bendy headlights are sweet. 🙂🇦🇺
(Edit: 1 year later I now have my own bendy headlights) 😄
I just picked up a 2016 S60 Polestar yesterday and absolutely love it. 😄🇦🇺
@@johno9507 nice! Never had a chance to drive one. Did you get one with an inline-6?

I think you might’ve got a bad year because Volvo’s don’t tend to break down, especially the new ones, but they are expensive to maintain I will agree

Dude dont be scared to floor this Volvo... Mine has 75 k miles and its so realiable and endures so much punishment is unreal
That cluster is dope 👌

We drive a 2015 d3 and as you say the transmission is very hard sometimes, but it might have to do with age as we have 170K KM driven.
Maybe a gearbox service might help
I want to watch 1st gen S60 !!!
I'll do my best to get one
EUROCARGUY
Thank you very much!!!
If you don't mind, I'd like a 2.4ℓ NA model.
have the active high beams??
@@jasper_north Not this particular one, but it was an option in this generation S60.
Will this be good for a new driver?

Pretty good light output consindering they are xenons
Yeah they're pretty good
Is this the car you reviewed 3 years ago?
Yup, same exact car!
@@EUROCARGUY Did you bought it ?
@@djtnfjcmr So I leased it for 3 years, after the lease ended my sister bought it
@@EUROCARGUY in the review you posted 3 years ago ,the car didn't have front parking sensors ,did you put some aftermarket ones
@@djtnfjcmr I installed OEM Volvo parking sensors, you can added them as long as the car already has rear parking sensors
Nice
Thanks you
How is the sound insulation of this car? Can you tell me with compare to new gen 60 series volvo's like v60 cross country?
Surprisingly good, you can comfortably travel up to ~85 mph. New generation models based on SPA platform have better isolated engine bay and wheel arches.
@@EUROCARGUY Is there any trim noise inside of the car? What is the km of the car? sorry for asking too many questions but i am very wondered.
@@thurkan16 Center console (waterfall) has a tendency to squeak when you firmly push it, but nothing rattles while driving. The car has around 45k km.
@@EUROCARGUY thank you. My last question is fuel consumption. What's the fuel consumption?
@@thurkan16 so I usually average 21 MPG (11.2 l/100 km) in the city, 33 MPG (7.1 l/100 km) on highway, and 26 MPG (9 l /100 km) combined. One thing I must say is that the T5 AWD variant is not the most fuel efficient.
Nice car
Вообще не понятно что хотел показать в этом видео автор ролика
Я просто хотел показать, что значит водить машину ночью
@@EUROCARGUY машина классная, тоже рассматриваю такую к покупке 👍
Hey that's GSP lol
Yessir
after watching this video, I will not be buying this car, it seems louder and has more road noise than my brother's 2018 Toyota Corolla

This gues doesnt know how to drive.
