I'm close to buying a 2017 S60 Inception AWD with 19K miles on it for $15,995
This car depreciates like crazy and I don't think you can go wrong buying them a few years old for 65% off
Hey Steve! Longtime viewer here!
I've always loved your reviews because they have been so accurate as to what an average person or car enthusiast would look for in a car. The style of your videos even back in the early MyRideTV days until now has been perfect to watch - not a lot of theatrics, just a perfect showcase of the vehicle with honest and seemingly unscripted and honest opinions. Although I know that you probably will be changing your video style because change happens, I just wanted to provide some feedback. I'm not the biggest fan of the music - it reminds me of those Kelly Blue Book videos that have me zoning out within the first few seconds. Also, I'm sure it's just a matter of getting used to, but really appreciate the effort to make things sounds less formally scripted like this video sounded.
Once again Steve, I appreciate your effort to keep things progressing with the channel, and have been a big fan of your solo reviews that you have mastered throughout the years!
+Autos Fan Thanks for the feedback! The music divides people - they seem to either love it or hate it.
First, so sorry for the loss of your friend, Chris. I'm sure he would also appreciate a well-done review like this. Congrats on your new co-host. Beautiful car, inside and out, glad to see the additional legroom didn't upset the proportions.
Change is inevitable. She knows her stuff and I am fan for life so I look forward to seeing the changes you implement.
+craig doss Thanks for the loyalty, Craig!
Anytime and always. :)
Great video Steve and Nicolette! Really like the collaboration, keep up the great work!
+MultiRyan2112 Thanks!
Steve,an excellent idea to have a co-host. It really helps to distinguish your brand. I also think you could be the go to reviewer for female drivers wanting a smart polished product. One suggestion though, would love to hear a bit more analysis on where the cars fall short. Keep up the good work. Have been viewing your videos for a long time.
Oh,and bought a 2015 Ford Edge Titanuim largely based on your review. Drove many cars,but the Edge imo is a hidden jewel.
Hey! Change happens ;-) Thanks for the feedback. Since Chris passed away in December we're experimenting with some new stuff...some you'll like, others you won't but you can never please everybody nor would I ever try. We're prepping for a long-form version of what I've been doing for years and this is our test run, if you will. Nicolette is a TV pro from the Albany area just like me, I've known her for years, and with her being a car person I've always wanted to try this out. She's currently a BMW owner. More info to come once the future appears clearer to all of us.
+Spica49134 Thanks, Markus!
Is this model offered with AWD??
+Vel Boone It is. But it requires the 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine.
+TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes oh ok... Thank you!!
+TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes My condolences regarding Chris. Your new format is fine, whatever makes your life easier. I would tone down the music because the two of you have good voices already. Does this mean you're changing the title to just "TestDriveNow.com"?
Seeing a bit of the Saturn Aura in the greenhouse...and those seats look so comfy!
Steve,
Thanks for another great review. I'm glad to see you experimenting with your format. I know you'll nail it on style as you already do on substance.
I am usually not a fan of the compulsory corporate look whereby all of a make's models have to look the same (at least the grilles), but in this case I find myself wishing for more of the new XC90 in the interior and exterior look of this model. Is that what the future holds?
Not sure how I feel about the collab reviews. Each should do their own review.
The new chick is rather hot...
Steve just one narrator would be nice. Thought she was the lady from the TWIT network until she said her name. My friends always had strange electrical problems with their Volvo's.
Liked the second cohost. What's her background? Does she do her own vids?
+Nathaniel Grumm-Johnson She's a TV pro from upstate New York. We'll do a more formal introduction soon.
Wow Steve, she is a real beauty with gorgeous curves and enormous curb appeal, which is why I may select the Volvo S60 as my next car!
But, if the Drive Time Soliloquy™ ever goes the way of the Edsel, I may cut back on my commenting, fwiw
I remember back when geeky bought Volvo from Ford. The Chinese said that they would not even think of influencing Volvo design... A model with 3 inches of extra rear legroom is definitely geeky doing :p
Would you think this new longer version has more backseat legroom than the Buick Regal or Acura TLX?
Steve, could you have a little bio about Nicolette? She knows her stuff.
+Billy Sou I'll put something together but for now, see my comment up above. Thanks.
New cohost. I like it
Like the co-host (very knowledgeable) but Steve may want to stop staring at her from the passenger seat before the wife smacks him. The only issue I had was with the audio. Sounds a bit like recording in a tunnel or could be that it just felt disconnected from the video. Otherwise it was decent if not a bit of a marketing video feel to it.
Ikr.
I don't think Volvo will ever return to its glory days, too many screw ups and years of lousy reliability, I recall when they were on par with the Germans. The 240's were tanks. Lot of catching up to do.
Steve sounds much more natural then the lady. Maybe its just because I'm not used to hearing her. She just sounds ehh. Not sure what she brings to the table. Enjoy solo Steve videos much better.
I hate the fact that they added that corny music in the background Dont do that after almost 10 years I might have to stop listening to your reviews.
+Jered Jones Don't leave! Things are just getting good ;-)
"Reveiw"
+Ivan Vojt I always find it funny when people don't hear their anticipated amount of criticism and then question the authenticity of a review.
+TestDriveNow.com featuring Auto Critic Steve Hammes Oh so that was intentional, got it.
Whos this chick? Didn't steve try this with his wife? Guess she was replaced?
+DoubleD 613 Lara is still here and will undoubtedly be back...as will Maddie.

Steve consults his kiddo as his large vehicle expert especially with 3 row crossovers.
+Billy Sou Exactly!
