- Is the Volvo S60R really a rival for the BMW M3? Jeremy Clarkson isn't so sure, but can he be pursuaded when the Top Gear boffins turn off the Volvo's traction control and hand the keys to the Stig?

Bravo OP
Volvo is one of the most underrated car brands in the world. Many people forget that they made the P1800 and the Bertone bodied coupes.
Kind of.. thre was an italian chap helping design the P1800 and the Bertone coupe was made by...well, Bertone.
@@taunokekkonen5733 Well not really. The Volvo P1800 was designed by the very Swedish Pelle Petterson who trained under Pietro Frua, It's still his design although you can totally see the influence from Ghia and Frua cars from the period. When it comes to the Volvo 780 Bertone I'm gonna point out that Jan Wilsgaard was collaborating with Bertone to reach the final design.
christdragon I totally agree, I have a 2004 Volvo S60 with 236,568. Miles on it and it runs like a top only need to put new Struts on the front shocks in the back it’ll be good as new again
I'd have to say SAAB is one of the most underrated cars around. I have 2, a 2005 9-3 2.0T ARC with a mild tune pushing 275 whp, almost the same as the turbo V6 aero model in the line up. My 2009 9-3 is an auto, has zero turbo lag and even stock, it's still fast and most importantly, both have been 100% reliable. But I really do like the inline 5 the Volvo offers. Can't deny that.
This car could be a cool sleeper with some performance modifications.
I would buy this purely because i love the sound of a 5 cylinder engine !
Jordon97 get an Audi TT RS
@@greathey1234 bit of a difference between a £5k Volvo and a £25k TT 😂

Volvo t5 is the best 5cyl engine
Really comfortable, heated leathers, some have sat nav + dvd player that pops out of dash so it is nice and concealed, 300bhp. 5.7seconds, 4WD (not sure if AWD) plus that legendary 20 valve 5 cylinder turbocharged engine. This car can be bought for 5 grand what a machine imo!
bozny22 S60R was always AWD, 4WD is on cars like the Justy 4WD and other offroaders.
bozny22 i found one grey V70R with these orange leather seats it was selling for 7k and it sold for inredible 4900!!!! my dad would have bought it if he didnt bought his V40 half a year ago

slovakia, middle europe
I just got an '01 t5 with 90k miles for 800 bucks... some say the seller still doesn't know what a good car is
I thought he was on a hoverboard in the beginning but then I remembered that this was made in the early 2000s
No this is from 2002-2003.
well the cars have 03 plates, so it was filmed after march 2003
2002-2003 isn't the early 2000's lmao

the volvo s60r is a total boss & and the turbo is awesome
Absolutly. i have a s60 2,5t and i Love it 👍
Would you like a BMW M3 or a Volvo S60R?
Jeremy: an Audi S4
The correct answer is W211 E500, E55 AMG or any other of the many cars with the M113 engine in it.
@@muaythai193 correct answer is don't by 2 ton "performance" sedans lol.
@@muaythai193 Correct answer is Holden Monaro
Peugeot 205 rallye
there is no correct answer just get what you want lol
I loved the S60. My mother had a 2001 S60, and while it wasn’t the the S60-R, I still have fond memories of that car.
In 2022 January Doug DeMuro reviewed the S60R in the same colour combination... And he loved it...
Yeah, I think that's why this was recommended to me.
And BTW, hi fellow Sri Lankan. ✌🏼
I love Volvos but this one...
TIRE SQUEAL. TIRE SQUEAL EVERYWHERE.
But Volvo is good at being Volvo, and no one else. That's why they're pretty sweet to own.

TYRE.
It's thanks to the US that these refugees are coming to Europe, idiot.. Also, who wouldn't go to the English if they want to learn the correct way to speak English?
sure if you want a safe slow ugly car that rusts quickly...
1954telecaster well, that is the case with every car. Except safe. Just look at hondas, toyotas, mitsubishis, bmws and american junk. Everything rusts without maintenance.
Some cars definitely rust faster than others...and galvanized bodies (like Mercedes and Porsche) don't rust at all
We have a cross country wagon (2003) with the 2.5T and it has 335,000 kilometres and runs great!
You are so lucky that it's still in one piece.. I've worked on more then a few volvos with that engine and they are absolute crap. We had in the shop recently with 44,000 miles and the turbo was already leaking oil and it handled like a 50 year old Cadillac and the interior quality was piss poor, it was incredibly uncomfortable and turned every pebble in the road into a bolder. It's absolutely unforgivable that volvo charges the same amount for there volvo xc70 as a fully loaded Audi a4.. I own an A4 and it's better in EVERYWAY.
+EJK k its not safer
+EJK k also the xc is very comfortable and nicely made interior, mines has 200,000 miles on it and has had no problems
+EJK k I disagree, it's extremely comfortable, not on par with my Audi A6, but close, build quality is excellent, the sound of the turbo 5 cylinder is amazing, but I do agree the handling is poor. Cargo space is relatively poor as well. My Audi A6 (2001) has 322,000 kilometres and it's just now needing ball joints, and control arms. Other than that, the engine and trans still runs brand new. Love it. My Audi is also covered in airbags which I love. Lol.
+albert7139 volvo is still safer
Love this Volvo
thank God it's not like a BMW. it looks awesome can't wait to bye one.
Carmicha3l Not reliable and Volvo can't be in the same sentence, i'm sorry.
+J Gripen my V50 isn't very reliable even though mine is well taken care of. Driver's door won't close if it's below -1 celsius and the reverse sensors won't work properly in the cold either, they just beep constantly even if i'm not close to anything. The climate control gets confused and opens/shuts the floor vents for about 30 seconds when i change the settings. It says people are sittning in the rear seat without seatbelts even if i'm alone in the car.
My s40 wasnt reliable either problem after problem it had to go. Bought a BMW and much happier after having the bmw i dont get all this stuff about how they are unreliable because mine is going like a dream with no faults.
Any volvo after 2005 wasnt and isnt reliable :D il stick to my 1999 Volvos thanks :D
Doug DeMuro just reviewed this car today
Amazing this gets recommended after Doug's review of this exact car
"the seats ... which seem to be made out of David Dickinson" hahahaha xD
I have a 2003 volvo s60 that I was lucky enough to get from a coworker for pretty cheap and I oughta say best car ever. Jags has some issues but thats expected with old cars of his time. But for a almost 20 year car, it feels almost brand new
Had a 2004 s60r in silver with blue leather seats and sport body kit was absolutely my favorite car I’ve ever owned.
Had to sell it due to financial reasons as these cars are meticulous but with the right amount of wallet these cars can run forever
I hope Doug DeMuro is happy he put this car back on the map and our algorithms
Yup. Doug sent me. Today. Now watch prices go up 😭😭😭
Doug Demuro loves this car!!!
a guy traded his s60r in at the dealership i worked at way back in 2003 and i grabbed the keys as soon as it came in for detail. smashing the gas put a huge smile ony face, that was the first time i drove anything with over 200hp. i wanted one of these so bad. i was 20 then, give me a break lol
Volvo will never make a performance car this great, equipped with a manual transmission, ever again.
This truly was the peak and we didn't know it.
Who got this recommended after watching doug's review?
I'm watching this in 2021... And I still want it, what a perfect car!
i have one i love it
_”This sound editor is really good!”_
-no one
Now do the S60 Polestar!
honestly, Volvo is a really good car maker. In the real world, out on the roadways, that's where it really matters.
Only here because Doug demuro reviewed this car with the same interior and exterior colors
This the exact same car Doug was in? lol

Everyone: "Edit like that for a bet!?"
Sound Editor: "yea."
I love this car. I had one in high school, and will own one again & V70R.
"sink a little deeper into Dale Winton, and bumble home" I LOLd at that :-D
4:54 England is the coutnry that broke the engima code? I dont think so! Poland did!
TheTopHatScoot not exactly true.. the poles did crack enigma but that was the early version before the war. The poles did help with cracking the more sophisticated war time device alongside turing so they do deserve more credit. But remember that the poles had no chance to break the war version without turing and vice versa. The real story is of course unknown but i know for sure that the poles had no ability or resources to build the machine that broke the lorenz cipher because if they did, it would be them that would have kept computers a secret or exploited it for themselves or sold the technology to the usa as part of war reparations as the uk did.
Clarkson is a ignorant so this is why
@@TitoLukason He is right and wrong.

I think they need to pump up the tyres, my S60R doesn't understeer & squeal like that no matter how hard I drive it!
It was almost running on the rim at one point
This car is so frontier of everything… that traction control, that dcc driver mode controls… feels like 10 yrs ahead it’s era
The S60R is still a great car...power, comfort, well built and reliable...!!! 💪😉👍
What more do you want...? 🤔💭
The wagon :P but to each their own! I agree.
I got one and they are amazing cars if you can tune it right, I also own a BMW E39 M5 honestly both are different cars and so much joy and fun when you drive them.... Its a great car....
Doug Demuro brought me here
You gave the British a reconstructed enigma machine, but that was the limit of your contribution. The brits cracked naval enigma, and when they started using 4 rotor enigma machines, the brits cracked that as well.
These cars are very underrated. I recently purchased one on my channel and I also have the new R-Designs. The new ones are faster but the suspension and the whole driving experience is much better in the original s60r
Now i get the 60R after watching dougdemuro then this
The single best stock car audio system i have ever heard
Until it meets the sound system in a MK1 Lexus GS300 ... best I have ever had in a car .. awesome
if you read the Top Gear magazine (instead of just watching the show) they state that the awd was not functioning when they ran the course with the car. you are correct, there is no on/off switch, but the haldex can be disabled by popping a fuse (or shearing an angle gear collar!) DTSC doesn't really control wheelspin so much as vehicle yaw. Interrelated, but not the same thing.
I don’t remember the sound guy being this bad when I watched Top Gear so long ago
my father has an s60r, its quite fast, and corners beautifully. but it makes really wide turns.
OM The Volvo was 0.2 sek faster than the Ferrari 575 ! ! !
except the fact thah ferrari did it on a wet track which adds about 5secs
But still it's a freaking Ferrari! a normal Volvo are 1 min slower then the oldest Ferrari.
+Putte MacGuff Ferrari 575 is a pudding on wheels.
+Saurucow alright .... your gas mate? there both deadly cars you spud
+Saurucow It was at first, but Ferrari later fixed it with the Sport Handling Pack.
Its cool seeing in 2010 the introduction of car attitude controls, with Sport, comfort and advanced modes. Its so common in today’s higher end cars
I think that the episode this clip was taken from aired in 2004
I like the "Flash Green Metallic" color.
"This is the country that cracked the Enigma code"
lmao
2) it looks like he pressed the DSTC button, which does not make the car FWD. It simply reduces the amount of assistance from the stability control system. I missed the "Error" you saw. The S60R error that you're thinking of is "Active Chassis Service Required." As far as i can remember that only disables the 4C suspension, the AWD functions unless the AOC (Haldex) unit malfunctions.
Indicating right and going left.. that was comedy gold.. amazing
This was the best looking Volvo since the 850R and the estate version looked even better imo
Oh and the exact same model aaand color is reviewed by doug in my recommendations noice
my dad got the same one but in black and it was so great
They had the all season tires on and this is the 04' would be better if they had the 06'
This is the country that cracked enigma code? Jeremy plz do your homework... Greetings from Poland.
What's the enigma code
It was a system used by the Axis forces. A machine would cypher a morse code and well that's it. The British did broke the naval enigma code, but the Polish did a lot for the deciphering of enigma code
+sanpt7777 Pretty sure that that is not true.
+jack kowalski search on wiki Alan Turing and leave JEREMY alone my dear polish guy. Greetings from Romania.
All the poles complaining about this. It was in fact a combined effort.
Poles broke enigma code not brits.. oh well, always so sophisticated
Exhaust pop at 5:30 lol....sounds good if u ignore the tyre squeal.
Just bought a 2004 2.5T (no R) in Titanium Gray Pearl. Previous owner kept it perfect. Jeremy is right. It does drive like a giant wooly bison. But, if you use the manual shifter, it's not quite shit off a shovel (low pressure turbo), but it maintains (insists on maintaining) a comfortable stable ride first. It's still a thrill. I did 110mph behind a Bugatti that overtook me (hero car!) and I just throttled after him going up the I5 from CA to OR. Clearly the Bugatti could destroy an S60, but the S60 did 110mph no shakes or wobbles. Comfortable all the way through. And it's just nice to look at.
jeremy should have went all the way to advanced mode, it really does make the car feel like a true racer that is set up to hit the track. i have a 2006 S60R
This is an amazing car and he criticized it so much - look at the track time it beat out some decent rides
the one thing about the s60R most are still running!
lol true
Makes 3 of us, I love mine too. Got a EST downpipe and resonator delete on mine, plus the Snabb intake pipe.
My dad has the base model an 06 2.5 (not an R) Ive driven it and it has such good pickup for a car.
Doug DeMuro brought me back here.
"This is the country that cracked Enigma code." Nope... This is the country that considered cracking Enigma code imposible...
"It was broken by the Polish General Staff's Cipher Bureau in December 1932" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptanalysis_of_the_Enigma
what is wrong with the sound editor?
I worked with a big and affluent company. My direct boss was a big fan of Volvo he had this exact car and bought her wife an x90 v8. I was able to drive these volvos, audis, bmw and volvos are like a cashmere jacket with no branding. While bmw Mercedes and audies are like lacoste and AX t-shirts with huge letters and logos all around the place.
I’m guessing the person that did the music for Dragons Den was the person that did the music for this segment.
It's to do with tyre width. The tyres on the r will rub the chassis if you even go to one with a slightly more square sidewall. It's not anything to do with the awd, just how much room there is for the fairly wide tyres to turn. What model was yours? If it was a base model with skinny tyres, it shouldn't be too bad.
Poles break the Enigma code.
Clarkson just loves db7 the most unbelievable car in the world
That 5 pot sounds awesome!
As of 26th July 2021, this Volvo S60R (OV03 TRX) is still on the road, and only has 122,000 miles on the clock. Recently passed an MOT test.
I wonder how many years this Volvo will carry on for.
Hopefully thr pcv system has been completely changed
@CemetaryGatesML But the 575 and NSX are both rear drive, and both were driven on a wet track.
"So, what i'd do is buy an Audi S4" 😂
Is it just me or did were the right side brakes applied at 5:28? I thought he had switched TCS off?
While not a fan of Swedish engineering... this car and all current Volvo's are gorgeous! Such an elegant and simple design. I hate working on them though... Saab is even worse! They found great solutions to problems that didn't exist. I was working on a Saab once. The engine was mounted backwards, as in the belts faced the firewall. The transmission was mounted in from of it. The transmission drive shaft went forwards to the differential and the drivers side axle went through the engine oil pan to the front wheels... WHY?? No other car I've ever worked on had such a ridiculous configuration! They solve problems that never existed for absolutely no reason.
Do you even know what Polestar is? They tune volvocars like AMG ect tune Merc.
Statement from Polestar after showing the Volvo S60 Polestar:
"The car presented at Gothenburg City Arena is the first car built for one specific client. A small series of Polestar modified S60s may be built pending market response"
I TOTALLY agree with Jeremy's conclusion in the end!!!!
Seats made from David Dickinson (orange leather)...I did LOL at that one!!!
It's a rather loud color scheme on that car without a doubt!
Music at start and end is LFO - Millionaire Dogs. Its a Bonus track at the end of their 2003 Album called Sheath.
I’m watching this in 2020 quarantine
What song was stig playing in the car? 5:16
5:06 That’s some proper turbo sound
The 2005 R (v70) is my parent's but I do know most of the details. It hasn't had any central locking issues at all. The only problems it has had that I remember was a worn angle gear (gear that helps transfer power to the rear in awd volvos... it's too soft) and just lately the active magnetic suspension had issues, but it was a cracked pin on one of the connectors to the chassis computer, so that was cheap. I have a 2000 v70r and it's central locking is getting dodgy, but mostly from age. :)
Who else came here cuz of Doug demuro vid
Nooo, thats not quite right. After Black stig was killed off, they just replaced him with a white stig, when old white stig needed replacing they found a NEW white stig in Bethlehem.
"Nothing like a pure racing car, in fact!"
About a month ago, I could find it via a simple google search, but I can't seem to locate it. I'll keep looking.
If it's an R, it's not black interior. It's either Nordkap (dark blue) or it isn't an R interior. R's came in 3 interior colors only, Atacama (orange), Gobi (pale tan), and Nordkap (dark blue)
This is my all time dream car! When Im older (18yo now) Im so going to buy this beauty😎
I'd give anything to meet the person who walks into a Volvo dealer and says Yes have you got this in Aqua with peanut butter interior?
Pretty sought after combination in the community as indeed there weren't many. To each their own. Atacama is my favorite ever interior color. I get that most people wouldn't pick it or don't like it.
That interior 😍
Polestar has made a 508bhp version of the new s60, and Volvo might even bring it into production if there's enough interest. So please show interest! :)
I have -01 S60 2,4T (It's the 200hp gasoline turbo). Kinda understeery, very predictable to drive (mine hasn't traction control, perhaps 'cause it's an early model), just a bit of liftoff oversteer if you try. Enough power for overtaking, yes.
Would I rather drive an RWD car with similar power? Yes. 4WD? Absolutely. The price was the thing that prevented me getting 1. BMW 325ix 2. S60 2,4T AWD 3. S60 T5/T5AWD/R 4. BMW 325 5. M-B C230K/C280. 7k euros for this when I bought it, 10-13k for the ones I listed(S60 T5 AWD and R even more then). Here in Finland BMW 3-series insurance rates are double that of the Lolvo btw... Teen boys keep wrapping RWD 3-series around trees, light poles and whatnot, hence the rates.
It's worked rather well for the 5 years I've had it, and what parts/servicing it has needed haven't been that expensive thus far. Should really get the PPC reprogramming module from those people at BSR... (200hp/285Nm->250hp/400Nm, but that torque increase can require a clutch upgrade also).
