The Volvo S60R is arguably one of the best sleepers of all time. Its 295HP Inline 5 SCREAMS and is plenty power for any road use. These cars started off in the year 2000 and went until 2009 for the first generation, and got revealed again in 2011 for the second generation and are still in production.

DO SO YOU WANT A GIRLFRIEND
So you want a 335i
As a v70R owner, those are really fun... while they work... awd is notorious to break (mine did at the end of winter) and every electronic module are special coded to the car, so it is extremely hard to replace them without going to the dealer ($$$$$$$$). ex.: in to year: BCM = 1500 CAD$ + 200 CAD$ prog. - AWD_control = 1500 CAD$ + prog +++ - 1 HID Ballast = 400$ (This one was not coded ...
Strut price = you are wright!
As you said, they are not hard to work, but their is always something to make you cry a little.
I like my older 2000 p80 v70 manual in nautic blue with the 850r volan alloys finished in a powder coated titanium grey with projector headlights but hey that’s just my opinion
I love these almost as much as my Volvo C30, which is another Volvo you guys should do a video on. Just saying.
Gotta delete this man it’s gonna jack the prices up :(
facts, cant let the 16 year olds know whats up
Alexander Rotar I’m 16 and I’ve got an s40 and a v50, already got to the p1s, next up is the p2s
Nah man, let the prices go up, better for me if I sell my Volvos
@@zaclarkby6389 the P1s arent very desirable compared to the P2s nor are they very plentiful. P1s are basically focus and mazda 3 platfroms. while P2s are still pure volvo.
Allen Lin p1 platform is designed by Volvo and used by ford and Mazda, it’s still a Volvo. P1 cars are also faster, more reliable, and (in my opinion) better looking
Absolutely LOVE my s60r!!! If you want power, shim your block, or just swap a 2.3. Really stable at speed, & handles “like” a bmw with some poly bushings & other suspension goodies. 3” catless turboback sounds like a viper/turbo lambo. Great car, & very affordable **if you do all the maintenance yourself**
3 inch straight pipe with a Hilton fuel overun tune 😱
Throw on some race spec sways from the v70R, and go Poly bushings all around. Youll get a whole new level of suspension performance. With the 4c suspensions and the DTSC module adjusting the torque to each wheel, there is no longer such a thing of having to slow down for a turn. Love my R, and I wouldnt trade it for anything.
Before I put my 3' exhaust I cut a hole in the stock exhaust before the muffler to give it a 'fake' straightpipe. It sounded amazing.
I use Hilton tuning on my s60 t5 highly recommend
Right right 🤣if you do all the maintenance yourself you save big time on parts
Really it doesn't sound exactly like a lambo untill you get a custom more equal manifold put in
This is one of those cars I’d always love to own.
Well they are cheap in the S60R trim. But if you want a wagon and got the V70R to style on all the hoes, it's gonna run you a bit lol.
I have a v70R i got for 2500 :) love it but this guy forgot some information. If you get one there is a owners club on Facebook that is VERY helpful for technical questions
conner secondino yup the classic VOOM if your a Volvo Maryland person. Or Volvo of east coast and so on.
I do have one, buy a T5, it’s the same thing! I’ve own both!
I have an 01 s60 t5...its a beast. Upgraded intake and turbo back exhaust. Bigger injectors. Got a tune and push over 325 bhp at the wheels. Lowered suspension makes it ride on rails. Most fun $2k shitbox in the world

Someone's been creeping on my browsing history...*cough*Fitment Industries*cough*

@@FitmentIndustries 😂
My history too!
As a former V70R (the station wagon variant of the S60R) here are a few things to consider when purchasing. The radio is known to catch frequencies from more modern newer vehicles causing the vehicle to randomly change to the station of the vehicle next to you on its own. The struts cost about $500 a corner to replace yourself, the front upper and lower balljoints go bad in about 30,000 miles. The stock catalytic converter goes out around 90-100k miles and oem replacement is $2100 whereas an aftermarket exhaust will run you about $1200-$1500. If you're lookin at an automatic be EXTREMELY WARY of the 5 speed variants as they habe serious shift slip issues, sometimes changing the trans fluid will solve it for a while but it will come back. The manual and 6 speed auto seem to have no issues. And finally the Haldex differntial needs the gear oil changed every 50,000 miles, it's not in the service manual but it has to be changed or you will lose AWD. P.S. if you are thinking of buying one of these cars you have to make sure there's a dealer near you with a master technician who knows how to work on these cars or you will regret ever buying one. Oh yeah and don't smash the headlight's into anything, they're $1700 a piece to replace.
still cheaper than a beamer.
As an Xc70 owner I can confirm
@@ChunkyWaterisReal A lot 😎
My brother has a 05 s60r and he’s put a front mount, aluminum piping, blow off valve, tuned and it runs like complete shit. Always giving him issues. 140k miles. So if you leave them stock they will drive fine as long as you maintain it. Also, I have a 04 s60 2.5t auto 5 speed with 178k miles and it’s my daily driver. She runs very good and never lets me down.
@@joshuadeleon9587 I owned a badly maintained v70 2.0T with over 300 000km on it and i put a lot of power in it and didnt have issues. Didnt bench it but guessed a little over 300hp on stock engine. won races against many cars with higher hp and won everytime. Won against 530Ds and 535Ds benched over 400 and 500hp for an example. Maybe the R is a little more sensitive? i dunno.
YO VOLVO GANG. I bought my ‘07 S60R last year in September and these things are absolutely awesome
Finally!!! A VOLVO!!

Exactly what I'm saying I about sent them and donut a request for it haha

Oof hate to burst ur bubble but there is nothing financially stable about owning one of these😂
@@AJs-Projects yeah kiss your wallet goodbye unless youre doing 100% of the work on your own
@@andrewbrown4642 I do my own work on my V70R. I tossed the 4C for Coilovers. The 4C is one the most expensive things to deal with. Just buying the shocks and struts could put you back up to $1500.

Oof. My guy, it is the opposite of this.
My dad once traded keys for a ride with his friends wrx Sri for his V70r. My dad remembers nothing about the sti, but the sti owner was shocked by the V70r’s performance.

VOLVO SENSES TINGLING. Block cracking intensifies.
Stop being desperate for likes
My question is, what can we do to convince more people that the Volvo C30 is also worth covering?
Hmmmmm... 🤔🤔🤔
Adrian Leon certainly not desperate for your like, bro.
Wakanda_Warrior12 now this is a comment we can get behind!
Inb4 mysterious coolant loss
Shoulda talked about the wagon the v70 R thats pretty awesome
They are the same car
Alex Strömberg they are almost the same car. Main think is the looks, storage, and weight. The s60r is a tad bit faster because of its weight.
I own the V70R. Love it.
V70R owner here. My car has almost 180k on it now, and has annoying problems here and there...yet, it’s so special I don’t think I can ever sell it.
I have one. Turbo decided to nope out today. This is after the haldex went, and the radiator, and the power steering, and the water pump, and the fan, maf, timing belt, a/c, and bushings everywhere in just over a year of ownership. These cars can put you in deep, it sucks that I love it so much. Would recommend being prepared for wrenching
I have a 2002 T5 and I honestly believe that was the best purchase I've ever made. Parts are expensive as hell, but they rarely break and are reliable af. Drove mine on a cracked CV axle for almost a year and she still won a few races even
I've daily drivered mine for years now. 215,000 miles now. Still fantastic. With suspension, handles extremely well. Makes good power, and as long as you stay out of boost, somewhat decent gas mileage
I love my s60R! I love the look on peoples faces when that turbo kicks in and it just takes off.
Thanks for setting the record straight on Volvo S60R. Ehen introduced, it was a Super Sedan. 300hp, AWD, 155mph, Adjustable suspension plus driving modes! NOBODY did that in '04!
I've owned two. '04 & '06. I'm still driving the '06 with 117k on the clock. All original. With good results!
I've been dealing with a great mechanic in Yonkers, NY that keeps it running well. He's like my own pit crew! Proper maintenance is key to happy ownership.
Keeping it clean and well maintained gets comments. With a little dust in Sleeper MODE thieves walk right pass it! Lol👍
I actually want an 850r
yes you do i have one, it’s amazing!
Sucks to work on tho
Have a T-5R manual! All other models are boring.
@@ceconcepts7358 t5's are just such amazing engines. Sound absolutely beautiful
Honestly didn’t expect this one out of you guys lmao.

How about a “So you want a Saab 9-3 Aero”?
Oh god don't let them know about the true potential of Saabs, especially the 9-5 Aero. Will jack up the prices lmao
If I would ever own a Saab I would putt it into a wall
johan mattsson Look if you’re looking for a cheap, and I mean CHEAP, reliable if you know about them, turbo, manual, fwd, winter beater for literally like $800 then it’s the perfect car. My main car is mazdaspeed3. Then I store it away and enjoy my winter days in my Saab lol. Still turbo, still fun, still gaps people with mods and a tune(; sounds sick too haha.
Romyan Good point. Yikes didn’t think about that 😂
JDM Junkies I can agree about that one but allot of my friends have them and sadly they all break down allot😕 I have nothing against them I was just not so serious in my previous comment😉 but sure it’s a very good car for a beater and the put out some good power but there’s problems with weak driveshafts, bad electronics, and especially the drain for the turbo that is under dimensioned and causes turbo failure. Sorry for my bad English😅
I've had a V70 R 6 speed wagon that I ordered new in 2004 for almost 17 years now. It's my favorite road trip car, with it's selectable suspension settings, plenty of power for mountain passes, incredible comfort and insane top end. Plus, it's a wagon - it hauls a lot of bags. My main complaint is the notorious angle gear problem. My R is totally stock, except for the resonator delete and hoop of death removed. I don't beat it. My first angle gear problem came at just under 60K miles. Had it repaired (incorrectly), which along with a couple of other minor 60K mile checks came to 3500 bucks. Angle gear is starting to fail again at 71,000 miles, so I ordered a hardened spline sleeve. It will be another $3000 to have it installed, if I can find someone to do the work properly. Hopefully that will take care of it for another 60,000 miles. I do worry about other big problems - suspension, cylinders failing...but I just love this car, will probably just keep throwing money at it forever.
That is one of the best cars of Volvo
They're always very innovative
Thanks to Fitment Industries, one of the only places I can get wheels for my funky bolt pattern for my Volvo
Right on fam!!!
No....Get the V70n R
Explanation.
850 wagon and Sedan P800 or P80 “the wagon is pretty much the mk0 in the V70 family”
S70/V70 I/C70 I/ V70XC, still on the P80 platform but has a lot of changes. The Mk1 V70 was born.
S80/S60 I/V70n/XC70/XC90, the P2 platform replaced the P80 platform, and was the lats none Ford platform if you don’t count the new SPA and CMA platforms. The mk2 V70 got the name V70n.
P2 transmissions
6-speed manual: M66
6-seed Automatic: TC.......something
5 speed manual: M56
5 speed automatic: AW55
P80 transmissions
5 speed manual: M56
5 speed automatic: AW55-50SL
4 speed automatic: AW50
The P2 R engine code is B5254T4
B = bensin (Swedish word for petrol) (D for Diesels).
5 = the amount of cylinders.
2 = liters of cylindrical displacement.
5 = Deci Liters of cylinder displacement on top of the liters.
4 = number of valves per cylinder.
T = Turbo (the T is replced with an S when it comes to N/A car as the Swedish word for N/A engine is “Sugmotor”) ( bi-fuel car will have the letter “G” added to the S or T, G stands for “Gas” and not the liquid type). (Flex fuel car probably have an F added to the S or T).
4 = is the specific engine tune/software or in some cases variant with mechanical differences.
Chassis codes
S80 = P23
S60 = P24
V70 = P26E
XC70 = P26L
XC90 = P28
The P2 S60/V70n face lifts explained
2001 - 2003 “face 1”
Black-ish Grey head light surrounds with the US spec receiving orange side markers, that look awful compared with the SewDM ones (in my where Swedish, Volvo purist opinion), the face 1 cars all have plastic trim on the front bumper, rear bumper and on the sides, bigger rounder mirrors, flat end needles in the gauge cluster, head light wipers and a trim pice that goes from the a pillar to the back of roof that doesn’t age well.
The R got its completely own front end, own head lights (basically the xenon variant of the face 1 headlights with a white-ish silver headlight surround), own gauge cluster blue back, “for see” active and adaptive suspension, blue coil pack cover, slimmer mirrors and Haldex AWD system that first became available on none R Volvo around 2003. Also you could get the V70 R with out “rails” which apart from 2003 you couldn’t with none R.
Early 2004, new “silver” interior trim, none R models got the slimmer sportier mirrors, new gage clusters.
2004 somewhere around 2004/2005 the HU-603 and HU-803 where faced out and replaced with the HU-650 and HU-850. (Head units). And the intelligent Marreli throttle bodys where replaced with dumb ECM controlled once on ever variant expect the Bi-fuel which got an updated Marreli throttle to match the new higher speed network in the cars.
Late 2004, New head lights (for none R cars) that for the first time where the same on the SweDM cars as the US spec ones, painted trim around the car, new front bumpers (for the none R cars), new slightly clearer tail lights and a new rear bumper.
2005, Bye bye headlight wipers hello “high pressure headlight washers”
2007, Last year of the V70n (and classic badged the last V70ns were), the side indicators movved from the fenders to the new slightly bigger mirrors.
2008, the S60 got new hidden pop up headlight.....washers and new badges in the back to match the disaster that was the new mk3 V70 and new mk2 S80.
2009,last year of the p2 S60.
Nice write up
marekdenn Thanks!, hope you found it interesting or helpful.
You probably can’t tell but I happen to be completely obsessed with the Volvo P2 platform.
I have grown up along side a M56 P26E B5244S2 (a 2001 manual V70n 2.4), my parents bought it in the summer of 2003 about 17 years later they still have it, i Love that thing.
My parents where very happy with it too, so happy in-fact, they bought a second one (a 2006 manual Bi-Fuel) around 2007, which they also still have.
Volvo is sort of in my blood as i have had multiple relatives who have work at Volvo Torslanda R&D and one of them still works there, the first Volvo in my family belonged to my mother granddad who had a PV4 at one point, my closest relatives has mostly had Volvos, Volkswagens and SAABs.
I have worked as an apprentice at an Volvo and Renault authorized dealer, I worked manly on newer Volvo and unfortunately didn’t get to work much on these beautiful P2 cars, the last true Volvos.
Klas Peppar Awesome dude! I’ve just picked up my first Volvo in March. It’s a 03 V70 T5 with 178000km. Putting lots of love into it and loving it.

@@E-boytunerz I can sell 6 speed manual 189k miles the only problem Is the suspension buttons work only for comfort and sport, advanced doesn't work for some reason
I own a 04 6spd and this video is pretty spot on as far as reliability issues. Beyond that I'd say my only gripes are some paint issues on the center console and the turn radius.
Overall so much fun, and so cheap these days. I don't drive it a ton these days but it never fails to put a smile on my face
I have a 2005 S60 R and I have never loved a car so much! I have it to stage 0 with all new front and rear suspension. Only mod I would consider is the IPD oval tube exhaust kit for better exhaust notes. I found from original owner that took great care of it but with 142000 miles it was bound to need updates. Paid $7500 but put another $7500 into suspension, brakes, PCV (super important fix), coils, plugs and tires.
But you can not buy a better car new or used for $15000 period.
Between FI and Donut, you’re outing all the awesome cars that people either never knew or totally forgotten about, then they immediately get stuck with the bro-tax.
I owned an s60r for 3 years, didn't appreciate it enough and sold it in 2016. I have regretted it every day since and bought another s60r yesterday. This car drives better than most cars I've driven.

I do own one by myself! I bought it like 4 weeks ago and i love it! The engine is just awesome, the adjustable suspension is really unique / rare in cars and the interieur is a piece of art and so confortable. I love the grounded and "normal" look of the car as well. With this car you get just the right amount of everything.
i just bought one and i was thinking of lowering it , you said the suspension is adjustable stock ?
Coming from a Volvo guy who owns a V70r and a s60r, they are great cars, quirky, but the most fun part is the surprise of how good they are for being a “Volvo”.
Currently own an s60r and gotta say it’s like a comfy sti. It’s super awesome on long road trips and then you just hit that little advance sport button and bam you got a nice canyon carver!
My boys just when i thought you'd never give in!?🚘🚘🚘
i have waited ages for a ''so you want a volvo 850R'' but this is good too
I own two S60r’s. One is stock, the other is tuned with 340hp. It’s fun and sounds great. I want to build it.
I'm probably picking up a metallic red 2019 S60 T6 R-Design with Polestar and about 7,000 miles on it. $31,000 for 300+ hp. Definitely a bit of a hidden gem with a luxurious interior. Volvo is really not messing around with their sound system too. If you haven't sat in a S60 with the Bower's & Wilkins system then do yourself a favor and go test one.
I literally just bought one last week and it's the best purchase I've ever made.
How has it been?
@kalani4ever359 haha that was 3 years ago and I lost the car to an accident..
Love my 2007 m66 example, one thing you could have touched on is the aftermarket parts availability is surprising, everything from performance valves to duel plate clutches to two piece rotor kits and much much more in-between. Also it's common for guys hunting power to swap to the 2.3 5 cylinder or just take the original motor and put in mid sleeves.
Either way great video and they make good sleepers to tune.
I bought mine from the original owner at 80k, and I love it. Still quick and as fun as any car on the road.
I was questionable about getting an S60R for my project/daily but it was the best purchase ever. Amazing car and now I'm hooked on constantly doing stuff to it lol Alex explained the mood of the car perfectly

Great video. It’s nice to see others who are passionate about this car. I’m coming up on a year of ownership with my 07’ S60R after driving an 04’ S60 2.5 and it was absolutely worth it. I was shopping around for quite some time I managed to snag one with low mileage that had been extremely well maintained. I plan on keeping it stock since I’m more of an enthusiast than a “car guy.” Climbing behind the wheel of that thing every day always puts a smile on my face.

Only 5 people under the sun want a 60R. there bought and traded 100x between the same 5 people.
Bold. They're dope and we know it.
I generally dislike people who buy s60r. Because they buy it with the purpose of destroying it by modding it. They throw out the 4c suspension, they add their own skirts, fronts and everything. Tear the engine apart or swap it with a t5 in order to make more horsepowers and etc. Generally they destroy the thing which is a classic in the making. How many Volvo 850trs are out there today? Not very many, and out of the ones left? Which one is the one that will get sold? The one that hasn't been destroyed with mods. Only a couple of thousands of these were made and it is difficult and more difficult to get parts for them, and claiming maintenance is cheap is a joke.
Buy these, take care of em, keep em original, do some racing whatever you want. But there is no reason to buy a s60r if you intend to mod it and make it into something that you could make with legit any other s60 out there.
Got mine this July. ‘06 with 71k at the time and now have 73k on it. In love with the thing. Only issue I’ve had was an MAF sensor and that is an easy fix. Not sure what I’m gonna do tuning wise. I’ll have to restore the wheels. Get new and thicker tires. And get the paint taken care of.
Next you should do a “so you want a Volkswagen gli”
I literally just got one of these 7 mounths ago as my first car so this was hella exciting to watch
That's a pretty nice first car...
Your first car... was a freaking R?? Thats a little much in my opinion
I had a 2007 S60R, and I frickin’ loved that car. It wasn’t so great on the 0-60, but the 60-90 got me a couple of tickets. And the “S” button just ruled. And it was so comfortable. Buy one if you can find one. The only problem was the f*cking solenoid for the adjustable chassis, which would periodically blow, and required a solenoid and strut replacement to the tune of about two grand. Not gonna lie about that.
I own a 2015.5 Volvo S60 R-Design with an Inline 6 twin scroll turbo and these things are straight beast!!!! Always taking lots of these unsuspected wrx’s, sti’s, s4’s and lots of other foreign “sports” cars!
YES!!!! ABOUT TIME!!!
Now that we know you're a volvo boy, so you want a c30 would be great
These videos are essential for used car purchases, thank you
I love my S60R, one of less than 40 cars here in Australia...but they are MASSIVELY maintenance intensive.
i’m back again under a min💪🏻, y’all gotta remember me now😂
Who are you?
We love the noti gang
Love my R
Have had my 04 R for a few years now and it's been great. Going for big turbo build here soon
Had a friend who had one for 4 years and drove it 10k miles in 4 years. Always had my eye on it, decided to test drive it before he went to leave the country... I told myself I'd only buy it if I absolutely fell in love immediately... well, here I am. She's a lovely little thing.
Still waiting for the "So you want a Renault Scénic" video.
I so early, I didn't even watch the video yet🔥🔥😂
A coincidence that I've been using a s80 2.0T 2007 as a daily.
Currently at 345k km still standing strong. Been considering to get a s60R. Thanks for the upload guys. Imma look into some right now.
Hey finally covering a car you don't see 100 of everyday. Volvo's fucking rock!
I'm looking to get an m3 maybe a Volvo is a cheaper alternative. Thanks fitment industries
Copped one last week, let’s goooooo:)
Coming from a guy who owns a p3 s60 yes they do take you by surprise and yes you will take people to gapple bees and yes it is a fun car all the s60s are sleepers lol idk why they have sooo much torque but they are amazing
Still waiting for the old mercedes :(
190e or w124 or w123 would be nice
@@kingofohio5689 I'm REALLY hoping for a 190e video soon, so much great history with that car.
so you want a NEW EDGE MUSTANG
Just bought one over quarantine. Absolute joy to own, drive, and work on.
Should have done a video on the s60/v70 t5 models. The 05+ models can make way over 500+whp with bolt ons. They also don’t have the suspension issues.
I love my s60r, even though it’s a pain in the ass and wallet
When he said "sleeper" i felt that. I love sweeping the floor with cocky and tailgating beemers
I love mine so much that even though it was totalled. I'm working on fixing it now.
