Volvo S60 review - CarBuyer

[QF32flyer]

@megamanmadrid I think he was talking about it's cheap compared to the BMW 3 Series or the Audi A4

[chan625]

I like it though...of course if I had that much money, I would steal some more and get an A4 or 3 series

[daddy00000000001]

0.55 "Electronic barking brake"

[megamanmadrid]

cheap ?? compared to what ? a lamborghini ???

fuck off !!!!

[megamanmadrid]

35.000 € - cheap ?? yeah, if you earn 2000 € a month !!

[kthankxbye]

Damn he's hot.

[reevsaj]

Volve has been doing a great job with the styling of its new cars.

[casualthug07]

The steering wheel was on the wrong side.

[Ragref]

@casualthug07 No.

[RandomnessRICKY]

Plates: ADIO FKG

LOL

[iaincro92]

I don't think this S60 is as good looking as the previous one...The last one was much sleeker, and very unique....This one just looks a bit fat.

[OpForza]

Automatically brakes when sees pedestrian? I didn't think that worked on Volvos, or maybe that was just Top Gear's footage of it going into a lorry without slowing down a set-up

[tg72211]

@OpForza That wasn't a setup. The system was off.

[Atheistprimate]

When Volvo killed off the true R models they became dead to me.

[Luisgtm95]

I can forgive the smaller trunk easily because it has a decent size and the car is very nice, sporty looking and its interior is superior to its rivals and theres very good engines

[mustsilm]

For some reason Volvo never has had big boots. I remember 740. big car, and yet the boot was smaller than the likes of audi 80 at the time.

But this boot really is shockingly small, i might guess its something to do with Volvo safety features, like built in roll bar or smth.

[MrTehoTeho]

swedish cars are worm, comfortable and economical even in the coldest winters. Its the truth. :)

[123Theoctagon]

Okay, I hate when people think that German cars are so amazing! I mean they are good (most of the time) but a few years ago bmw and audi were having serious quality problems and the fact that he said that this was a good alternative to German car pissed me off. Volvos are just as good if not better!. thumbs up if you agree!

[upiluften]

@123Theoctagon Meh. I don't agree. Volvo is different than the German cars. IMO, it's cleaner and more svelt. Very "spartan," if you will. Personally, I prefer Volvo because of that. It's luxury is it's sveltiness, whilst the German autos' luxury is their luxury.

[upiluften]

@123Theoctagon But, for me, Volvo's are the only way to go. Volvo for Life.

[Hidezepickle]

Hmm yes... That is a Very Odd Looking Vehicular Object.

[Twixx32]

@Hidezepickle It's beautiful 

[MacGyver920]

We have the a 2003 model Volvo V40, and it has got the exact same seats. LOL

[upiluften]

@MacGyver920 If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[MacGyver920]

@upiluften I didn't say it was broken, I just said that the seats in a Volvo from 2003 that no one has heard of, is exactly the same as the ones in this car.

[upiluften]

@MacGyver920 What do you mean nobody has heard of the '03 V40? Maybe they forgot about it nowadays. And don't all Volvo's have the same seats? I know my '02 S60 does.

[MacGyver920]

@upiluften I don't know. I just know that Volvo's boring pieces of Swedish metal, that are as exiting as a dead dog.

[upiluften]

@MacGyver920 Volvo's have an understated elegance to them, in my opinion. Kind of like an Apple product. There's nothing particular exciting about either product, and that's the appeal (to me). Clean. Svelte.

[MacGyver920]

@upiluften SWEEEEEEEEEEET!

[moneshmahtani]

@RobertPhillpott ohhohoh mr rich man well let me explain something to you 1.this car isn't cheap.

2. Those people living in the ghetto are probbaly working harder than you walsreet pigs

[MyAccount4TrollingU]

@moneshmahtani Fuck off, loooser.

[athleticscoach2012]

oops roll! v

[athleticscoach2012]

Another great review. Great looking car the inside looks beautiful. Only thing I don't like is the electronic handbrake. Drove hire car recently and couldn't get used to it but worst is trying to a hill start . I usually hold the car on the hand brake slighlty to set off. You can't do this on electronic as its either on or off -you role back. More & more cars are getting them & that's why people have taken to using their foot brake to blind you at the lights. Moan over - its still a great car!

[dunti21]

@athleticscoach2012 Doesn't it come with automatic hill hold? Cars nowadays with electronic handbrakes usually have that.

[athleticscoach2012]

@dunti21 I'm sure you are right. The hire car was a Vauxhall and didn't seem to have but didn't have for long. The interior of that Volvo looks amazing. By the way if they sack Clarkson, Mat should have his job!

[endymion051]

superb review,thx

[KutadguB]

Please review S40 too Matthew

[llozd1985]

Grill and headlights are stolen from new Mercedes E class so it must look good

[wanrazif11]

@llozd1985 No it's not. Volvo have that design way earlier than the E-class with XC 60 Concept in 2007. The E-class was introduced in 2009. Plus, I don't see any resemblance of E-class on the grill.

[BadgerinSC]

I'm in the market for a new car (replacing a BMW 3 series) and I'm intrigued by this car. The relative comfort of the drivers' seat always struck me as extremely underrated. Let's be honest, here in the States' we spend a lot of time just going in a straight line on an interstate, or, unfortunately, just sitting in traffic.

[spiloFTW]

this car is my dream

but i am from slovakia, where dreams stay dreams :(

[creamcheesenation]

is the guy a midget or is the car massive? im confused

[MacGyver920]

Review a SAAB, please? :)

[kantrzyn]

the old s60 looks better

[davedaddy101]

hmmm, is it me, or were the S60's a lot nicer like 3 years ago? Seems they changed their look for the worse.

[haatjoubitch]

0:56 ... mat says electronic "BARKING BRAKE" :D

[laur121212]

first video and i already love this guy >.>

[PHILLE564]

Volvo is swedish. Geely is just the owner of Volvo, they don't design it.

[MacGyver920]

@PHILLE564 They do now. They've dsigned the Volvo Concept You and the Volvo Concept Universe.

[PHILLE564]

@RobertPhillpott This car was designed by a blind man, so stop complaining!

[MacGyver920]

God I wish Volvo was Swedish.

[h4xx0r666]

The steering is very sharp, but it is very numb xD ?

[MrVolvoC30]

@saladpasta You can. :)

[GamerAndReviewer]

I would like one of these in orange! =)

[saladpasta]

hate to say this....but can you turn autobrake off?

[PuddingLarsson]

0:45 sweden is not so cold.. ;)

[kolkyle]

I heard Volvo was having reliability problems lately but I could be wrong.

[Timx4]

Volvo is chinese yay!

[KennyBest999]

@Timx4 swedish

[alibabbanl]

A Volvo not as desireable as a Mercedes when you care about image? The strong point of a Volvo is it's image! It suits everybody without giving you an image that you don't want. We all know what image a BMW gives you, and that isn't a very desireable image to me...Volvo is more about discrete style, BMW is about showing off style.

[malakas1973]

Volvo amazing !!

[joydivision808]

must say i would buy a volvo over a bmw every day

[scaremengaviation]

@noxis93 Thumbs down..

[derikdean]

cute car..cute guy

[Nomasain]

YOUTUBE is in need of money, so we get to see more commercials.

I'm a frequent viewer and wish YOUTUBE offered a COMMERCIAL FREE subscription. I watch it more than TV and don't mind forking over a few bucks to keep YT on air. Thumbs up anyone?

[steveingvar]

someone could get drunk and drive safely in this

[tepeke88]

Is it uncomfortable driving on the right side??? Jaja here in the states the only cars u see with the driver being on the right side is those pesky parking ticket people! Grrrrr!

[RobertPhillpott]

Disgusting. Looks like they slapped MB's E class headlights onto a C class wannabe and started selling it to ghettto people. Gross.

[poopstarch]

@RobertPhillpott i agree 100%

[Alexgeo4975]

@RobertPhillpott Ghetto people? The S60 isn't a cheap car...

[911205KW]

@Alexgeo4975 > Well, no car is actually cheap either so.. But it not as expensive like a BMW, Mercedes or Audi. Stop complaining! Think like this: How much did it cost Volvo to make & produce it? A couble hundred thousand is "cheap".. Just because you don´t have the money.. But normaly you don´t buy it in cash, you take a car loan.

What if the cars would cost those millions or billions it cost to make it reality.. Money is overrated, one time money didn´t exist, we still manage to make it..

[911205KW]

@911205KW > I hope the money lost it´s worth in the future.. It would be just coloured paper. Get back to when people onely trade favors or food etc. That was just fine, every body were happy, no crimes, laws or any.. Just generosity. Every body looked after eachother and helped where ever it was needed. Simple & perfect :)

[hellokittycutie2003]

@Alexgeo4975 And since when does "ghetto" equal poor. I know people who'd be considered "ghetto" and they're always working and never hard up for cash. Let's not apply stereotypes now... @RobertPhillpott lol

[scaremengaviation]

@RobertPhillpott Ghetto people? They don't drive cars like this.. they drive those stupid Escalades.

[guardion2]

DO LIKE FORD: BUY VOLVO!

[oeylabot]

the interior and exterior ( except the design of rear lamps ) ar very stylish......if I had enough money this car it would be one of the cars that I would buy it .......

[oORlxOo]

is the car huge,or this guy is small?

[dajudahzlion]

@oORlxOo It's a huge car, go test drive it and see for yourself!

[topgunsmoke]

do cc and translate for a good laugh

[route5937]

I could carry a surf board if I have a surf board.u r just awesome reviewer

[mrdiamondback1]

Does sweden own Volvo?

[dunti21]

@mrdiamondback1 Volvo recently got bought out by a Chinese company, Geely

[dunti21]

@mrdiamondback1 Volvo recently got bought out by a Chinese company, Geely. Otherwise it was Swedish

[mrdiamondback1]

@dunti21 Damn, why did Sweden sell it?

[dunti21]

@mrdiamondback1 Cos they started failing at life, and China is starting to buy out everything. Britain's MG, which hasn't produced a new car in quite a while, got bought out by a Chinese manufacturer (Also Geely I think) and is now bringing out a new model. Economy's gotta suck :-P

[mrdiamondback1]

@dunti21 to bad

[Prairielander]

@mrdiamondback1 Sweden never owned it. It was a private corporation. Many parts and the cars themselves are still assembled in Sweden as well as other countries too. My car the Volvo 850 was actually assembled in my country Canada.

[jungledrumandbass1]

its a sodding diesel not a S60

[mahatmacoatmahandbag]

another review without MPG figures.what was the point?

[Kitteh2006]

jesus christ this car is breathtakingly ugly

[yuxuanchen]

Just bought one! :D

[SuperBrunotadeu]

@yuxuanchen Lucky guy



[chrisluvjh]

@yuxuanchen gratz dude!

[BlinginTom]

WHats the MPG like?

[dajudahzlion]

@BlinginTom T5 will do 20 city 28 hway and the T6 will do 18 city 26 hway.

[chongb]

Damn this new S60 looks so good. it beats audi A4, BMW 3 series, and Mercedez C class, Acura TL, in my opinion

[dajudahzlion]

@chongb It really does, at least the BMW 3 series and the Audi A4. I drove all three cars before buying and for the price, safety and comfort I chose the S60.

[SuperBrunotadeu]

The exterior of this car looks awesome, better than the 3 series and the C class, those split in two headlights are great.

[aspiringdrummer17]

@SuperBrunotadeu The S60 competes with the 5 series and the E class

[cletonds]

@SuperBrunotadeu No you're wrong the 3 Series and the C Class are much more better.

Volvo cars can't compete the two famous german cars!

[paradox111490]

@cletonds you really cant even compare them because they aren't even in the same price range. You spend 25k on a Volvo and 25k on a BMW or Mercedes which one do you think will be better? for 15k you can get a Volvo s60 r evolve that has 480 horsepower STOCK. pretty sure its gonna be VERY engaging to drive.

[chrisluvjh]

@SuperBrunotadeu agreed but does it drive better than the bimmer?

[marcvie9]

@SuperBrunotadeu the split in two headlights if copied from mercedes ...

[Lymos524254]

this guy should be at Top Gear

[Digs259]

everybody and their brother has a BMW in the U.S. I like the the fact that volvo is an unsung hero with a car that costs less and is just as fun to drive.

[Gurksallad10]

Volvo really need to make a supercar... or a real performance-car at least, for their image.

[rally240]

This is one of my favorite car review channels. This guy is an awesome reviewer! ...I love seeing all the European cars I'll never see on the roads of the United States.

[TommygunRI]

Very sharp and very numb steering WTF

[TheGrindsprint]

I like the s60 but I can´t understand why they made it so thin!! if they had made it wider it would have had more, and much needed space inside and it would have looked sportier from the outside. It looks a bit weird from bihind. like somebody put it in a vice or something!

[roninhoR10]

iv honestly never seen a car review that has a negative conclsion aout the car just ambigous

[CaptCamshaft]

This Volvo S60 has lost the elegance of its predecessor in favour of the gawky looks it has now... not as sporty, or economical, or good to drive, or as desirable as a German car.

Close, but no cigar

[CaptCamshaft]

Close but no cigar... not as sporty, or economical, or good to drive, or as desirable as the Germans. This S60 has lost it's predecessor's elegant looks in favour of something gawky, so I will stick with the BM.

[qpiz22]

s60 is a really nice car to drive so comfortable.

[uyd]

Volvos are much nicer than Mercs, they just need to work out the kinks.

[brian8793]

Volvo means "I roll" in Latin.haha

Great cars...

But what if you need to run someone over? Say if some guy steals your girl? You would be like " I'm gonna run you ova bitch" "50ft" 40ft 30ft 20ft 10ft 5ft "YES!!!" 1ft "auto brake engaged" " FUCK NO!"

[RyDeR11134]

@sodazv06 You still can do this man. Pedestrian detection can be deactivated by pushing a button.

Run over the bitch!!!!!!!!

[rally240]

I really love this car. I cant wait to see the S40 redesign. I think this guy is a really great reviewer.

[dajudahzlion]

@rally240 The S40 is being discontinued :( I was also waiting to see the next generation!

[blastwind]

Indeed a very good car. If you wanna see a real incident, search on youtube Valentin Ionut Panea or hit /watch?v=EAMfsppnET8

[Corvette90100]

BMW is better than Volvo, I would get the 3 series anyday over this. If I was anti-german though, I would definitely get the Cadillac CTS.

[Hkandiel]

@Corvette90100 and im sure that you didn't get the picture of safety comes first, well, you'll get that picture when you crash in your m3 and hopefully you'll live after that so you can buy a safe car....A VOLVO ;)

I would really prefer the volvo from that Japanese SHITS that call themselves as "premium" They are designed with a ruler and a pencil, so style no reason for elements in design (everything in a Volvo is there for an specific reason) not just a little square or triangle where the designer in his very personal opinion likes it. The dashboard is completely perfect (I disagree with the reviewer in that point), I just hate the circles for the AC exits and the trunk if its not perfect its just OK

Until Volvo starts importing six-speed, AWD manual transmissions to the U.S., it looks like I'll be forced to go with Audi or BMW. Too bad...the lack of three pedals on the floor is a deal-breaker for many here in the states.

[skinchu]

@volvoguy99 2011 Volvo S60 T6 has six-speed auto transmission as standard
