[Jerseyshorefreak123]

this or the 2012 Kia Optima SX

[a9347764]

ikea car..

[wiiplayer9revisited]

Again, another car fell victim to the dumb push-button system, though, at least this one requires the key fob to start.

[SonnyJamesJefferson]

I really want a Volvo!

[skoja95]

you forgot about the pedestrian stop shit!

[Pabla98]

i don't like the one vent in the middle

[Annihilator1111]

the transmission on the 2010-present Volvo S60

Transmission

6-speed manual

6-speed automatic

6-speed Powershift automatic

[ArchiveF]

what do you think in xc60? or 90?

I'm thinking to get one of them, the xc60 is incredibly sexy

[rapamano]

@ArchiveF If you're gonna buy it now, xc60! Or just wait for the all-new XC90 which will be released next year :O

[respeKtdaQ]

We used to have a Mercedes Benz SUV, but in 2006 we bought a Volvo SUV (XC90). The Mercedes was horrible, and broke down in the middle of Tennessee. Last year, we got in 2 near-wrecks with our volvo. the first happened when a man was in the wrong lane when we turned into our driveway. his car was totaled, and ours was FINE. the next time a car slammed into the car behind us making it hit us. we were FINE. the other car was totaled. Volvo has GREAT safety! (and reliability)

[Luisgtm95]

The key has a button to turn on the accent LED lights, incredibly cool for showing off your car plus its really stylish and has an incredibly ergonomic interior.

[5315andrebras]

my mistake its a volvo c30

[5315andrebras]

can you show the volvo s30?

[pskittle488]

Very nice vid, though it is missing something. You can definitely tell how you've grown in the past year+. It doesn't have the discriptive content your newest videos. It's all good, though.

[flindos]

very good car !!!!

[Yuentsun]

Could you please do a review on the Volvo S80? My dad is struggling between a Mercedes Benz E Class and a Volvo S80

[ColeJMproductions]

@Yuentsun get the benz

[jmichael1holmes]

@Yuentsun get the Volvo man, its gorgeous, more reliable, and will last a LOT longer, also is safer, the s80 has always been the safest car ever (no lie)

[Jakeness21]

@Yuentsun I wouldn't call that a struggle, you'l be satisfied with either choice. I personally would go for the S80.

[MrTONYTONYM]

@Yuentsun Stop struggling and get the Audi A6. It's better.

[paradox111490]

SEXY. I have a 2003 s60 r. I just wish that they kept up the R design in the engine and not just cosmetics.

[Sayakawill]

Never mind, I figured out myself, it's from the Chevy Equinox commercial, name of the song is Animal perform by Neon Trees, nice song!

[Sayakawill]

Anyone is kind enough to tell me what is the name of the song starting at 7:00? Sounds familiar but I cannot recall....... Thank you

[istillloveguitar]

how much does it cost??? i want to buy 3

[paradox111490]

@istillloveguitar Um...too much.

[wikadi]

r.i.p saab ...oh volvo coming soon :D

[tobythesandwich]

I really like the new S60. But I think when it comes time for me to buy a new car I may just go for the 2011 9-5. I do love Volvo. But I can't pay what they want for the new S60. It's outrageous.

[paradox111490]

@tobythesandwich dude then get a 2003-07 Volvo S60R. Speaking from personal experience its the best car Ive ever bought. very fast too. 300ph stock. Go for the manual. Quicker. I bought mine is Massachusetts for 14,000 last summer. well that and check out a race in between the new s60s and the old ones. The R models anyway. Guess who will win?? ;)

[tobythesandwich]

@paradox111490 My main problem is any S60R at a reasonable price is right when it needs all the major maintenance. So sure I'm getting a decent S60R for $14k. But then I gotta put another couple hundred in the timing belt job, and then the suspension needs refreshed which is outrageous due to Volvo's active suspension system. It's just not worth it in the long run. Not to me at least.

[paradox111490]

@tobythesandwich well you got a point there. The refresh was like 500 bucks but I havent had any needs to adjust the belts. So far anyway. Too each his own.

[stk931]

looks like a nice car to take out for a nice, leisurely sunday blunt cruise

[torquey88]

Wow, sounds really harsh for a V6!

[Darkc0w]

I miss manual cars =(

[usnusa2003]

This car is so Asian. I wonder how many people know this car is Chinese owned and made in Asian countries...I still love it

[perfoodleschnitz]

@usnusa2003 This car is not made in an Asian country. It's made in Sweden. Unless Volvo believes that the quality of vehicles produced in China for the Chinese market are good enough for the US market, then they will not bring them here.

[elbonja]

@usnusa2003 you just failed so hard...

[usnusa2003]

@elbonja Why, because Volvo is Chinese owned

[JotaLamboSV]

@usnusa2003 Volvo is owned by Spyker which is a Dutch company not Chinese

[93gt]

@JotaLamboSV Saab is owned by Spyker. Volvo is owned by Geely. A chinese company.

[fordryan0930]

@93gt Volvo is Scandinavian.

[93gt]

@fordryan0930 You're telling that to a Swede, who even worked at the Volvo factory. I was saying that Volvo's owned by a Chinese company. The HQ is still in Göteborg, Sweden and the cars are produced here (S80, V70, XC70, XC90 and V60) and in Gent, Belgium (C30, S40, V50 and S60). I hope it remains so.

[fordryan0930]

@93gt Ohh my bad.

[paradox111490]

@usnusa2003 um yeah ford may have sold them to Zhejiang Geely buy most of the production is still in Sweden. a factory will be built in china next to Beijing but its still a Swedish car. Always has been. you wouldn't call it American because ford owned it would you?

[jwjibbrul3s]

SWEDISH =)

[spiloFTW]

this car is a reason to start cooking meth!

[elcesar999]

@spiloFTW lol

[safte04]

perfect review mate keep it up.

[hhh770509]

I have a 2011 Volvo S60 T4 and I really love it! :D

Beautiful car!!

[imercaldi]

@hhh770509 t4?

[kevinrobertquinn]

I love how Volvo puts the driver information system in the middle of the gauges rather than between them like most cars....could you please review the 2012 S80?

[jessmjfan989]

i love this car!! i want it! >.<

[Chrispisz12]

Much better than the Saab it's rival haha

[corvetkidable]

In the front it looks like a fish

[vicm1010]

I'm an audiophile, and though I would love to own this vehicle, it doesn't seem to allow for customized audio applications such as installing a head unit or adding a subwoofer. Sad to say, but other luxury vehicles do offer this option. Therefore, I would pass on the idea of owning this vehicle. :(

[PS2Gameplays]

@vicm1010 No head unit change, although you can have the subwoofer installed at the factory. To be honest it sounds great without the subwoofer too!

[kevinrobertquinn]

Your videos are great!...could you do a test of the 2012 s80?

[MacGyver920]

Before you consider buying a Volvo, remember that Volvo is now owned by a Chinese company called Geely, which means that every single new Volvo is anything but safe and Swedish, but designed and built in China by Chinese people. So, if you think you're new Volvo is safe and made by Swedes in the best possible way, you're absolutely wrong.

[denisdfdf]

@MacGyver920

Absolutely right!

[markus11chung]

@MacGyver920 You're absolutely wrong. Volvo's headquarters are still located in Sweden. Geely only funds them.

[MacGyver920]

@markus11chung Yeah, I know that. Of course their headquarters are still in Sweden. They built them there, and they can't just move them from one place to another, depending on which country owns the rights to the company, you jackshit.

[markus11chung]

@MacGyver920 What are you? ASSWIPE?

[MacGyver920]

@markus11chung No, you are.

[jvswerbo]

@MacGyver920

FAIL. Still made in Sweden and Belgium.

[MacGyver920]

@jvswerbo And now, China.

[ratzhushk]

I love Volvo S60.

Exactly what I wanted to see.

Thank you.

[oleg1973durov]

Cadillac, Volvo, Saab, Chevrolet - почему у всех одинаковый руль? Дизайнеры выдохлись? Cadillac, Volvo, Saab, Chevrolet - why all the same wheel? Designers exhausted?

[deville49]

hello~can you test the S80?

[eden20111]

Love it!

[josornio300]

For all of yall who hate this car yall can fuck yourself cuz i love this car and wish i owned it. look up a video where an older model s60r kicks an m5s ass.

[lauture17]

where is the key

[mrjost55]

I really like this vehicle.

[UnRoman111]

Volvo today = Geely , china crap

[PS2Gameplays]

@UnRoman111 I totally disagree. The same company builds it in the same location. The S60 wasn't designed by Geely either.

We'll have to wait another 5 years to see how Geely will influence Volvo.

[RyDeR11134]

@PS2Gameplays It`s very simple in my opinion. Volvo has many ideas, but they don`t have the money. Until now. Geely already brought hundreds milions. As you say, in 5 years Volvo will be able to fight with the german trio.

[MacGyver920]

@UnRoman111 I know, bro. Why do almost every single car manufacturer have to be onwed by various companies all the time? I mean, Volvo was sold to Ford in 1998 and Ford sold it to that Chinese company in 2010. So Volvo's haven't been Volvo's since 1997. But at least they still make them in Sweden.

[UnRoman111]

@MacGyver920 yes sir. That is so bad because i paid a lot of respect for Volvo. But i am now a fan of VW-AUDI and SAAB. Tough is funny that today Volvo is considered one of the safest cars on the market, but Geely is the unsafest ...just check on youtube GEELY CRASH TEST and you will vomit. These Geely are so unsafe that even at 25 mph you DIE!

[MacGyver920]

@UnRoman111 I know! :-/ I want Volvo to be Swedish, not Chinese!

[UnRoman111]

@MacGyver920 There is nothing we can do anymore man, but one thing is for sure: I will never buy a Volvo. I 'll stick to Euro models and maybe, just maybe...for a Honda Accord.

[MacGyver920]

@UnRoman111 You're just like me! :D

[UnRoman111]

@MacGyver920 cheers mate :D

[MacGyver920]

@UnRoman111 ;D

[angusfuzz]

Beautiful and awesome intelligent car with tons of dependability and power..just like a Volvo. Now make a video of you parking it in my driveway please.

[scaremengaviation]

The center console is amazing..

[Dualshock21]

Volvo stole the light design from the new Mercedes e class

[mrblackmon27]

Cool

[killwestley]

Are the headlights automatic?

[warmaneko]

First review i've seen to really show all the car has inside.

Way better than other car channels

Keep it up

[MacGyver920]

@warmaneko I recomend carbuyer.

[TheLMMish]

@warmaneko yes. my thoughts also :) it's all in the details

[ThousanWhite]

I've tried the S60 T6 AWD and the S60 T5 FWD. Even though the T5 was less powerful, I almost liked the T5 better.

[JPraiser]

Did I hear you say that the steering wheel adjustments are manual thats odd seeing all of the tech that comes with the car.

[form109]

I Just Noticed the Steering Wheel in this Volvo looks the same as the one in the Saab 9-5 Aero....it's quite a nice design....looks nice and thick.

[jugglerking97]

nice vid ,,..you should also review on the new 2011 volvo c70......i have it and it's awesome............:;)

[billysepf74]

Looks like the one that I bought yesterday but the steering wheel is on the right hand side. This video was a really big help for me to buy the new S60. I used to have an old V40, like the one you reviewed on your channel. Thanks Kyle.

[luaghingman123]

i noticed it handled ambient noise really well .

[n9u7enpower]

front is amazing, I dun really like the back though, prob take a few to get use too

[sex14]

DAMN Fucking great looking car!

[computergames5]

Why is ppl complaining about bland exteriors and bland interiors on volvo's? They're great! Simple works, you don't need the style, if u want a simple, nice luxury car.

[BisioDzwo]

omfg i hate this sound

[TSXKid]

Fantastic Review Bro.. Keep it up!



[1006Will]

Dude, since you've done such as a good review, let me tell you what this car has to improve:

1. Keyless entry.

2. Ugly keyfob

3. More distinct DRL

4. Ugly GPS console (why does the outward part of the GPS extends laterally so much while the screen is only that wide.

5. change the speedometer, looks cheap

6. same with the gearbox, use a piece of leather and wrap it, plz.

7. Startstop engine button and hazard buttons are ugly.

[computergames5]

@1006Will Lol dude, the keyless system is just fine, put the key in the slot and start it. The keyfob isn't ugly, it's a simple shape, take a look at the jaguar ones, they're ugly. The speedometer dosen't look cheap, it's what volvo does in there cars, who cares about piece of leather on the gearbox, there's no need. How in the heck is that hazard button ugly? It's a simple hazard button lol

[bluemini9]

Do you have to 'plug in' the key to turn on the car?

 On one of my cars' it has the slot, but you can just keep it in your pocket and my other car you have to plug in.

[fanowner12]

@20Quirke08 It depends on what you're looking for. If you are looking for a sporty little sedan with cool-looking details, the S60 is a good bet. If you are looking for a luxury, full-sized sedan with luxury details, then get the S80. 

[person1492]

@jvswerbo What do you look at when you get into a car? Yes. The interior. Volvo have consistently proven to make the ugliest exteriors with the most boring interiors. If it weren't for it's safety ratings I wouldn't think they'd sell any of them. Good thing they have reliability and cost of repair going for them. Oh, wait. They don't have that either.

[jvswerbo]

The lamps in this video are Dual Xenon with Active Bending Technology. When you turn, they follow the road.

[bwlupus]

My '12 will arrive in 2-3 weeks. woot! Still in international waters as we speak.

[cm18cam]

@kitteh2006 How is this car ugly?

[Kitteh2006]

sooo ugly

[maganaonline]

is it me or is that motor making a lot of noise when he pops the hood? my old 850 isn't that loud.

[MayelGura]

Why doesn't america like the new Saab cars but this ones? I'm swedish and personally think Saab is way better than Volvo.

[bwlupus]

@MayelGura

I LOVE the new 9-5 exteior, its mean looking and aggressive. However I HATE the interior. It looks dated centrer stack and then the vent styling across the dash hurts my eyes. If it wasn't for the interior styling (and the steep price) I could talk with the saab dealer.

[BillySlone]

@YoungOldSchoolRapper

I can't believe you actually said referred to a Volvo as a Nissan wanna-be.

Volvo is running head-to-head with BMW, Lexus, Infiniti, etc... And you ACTUALLY said it wanted to be like a Nissan, of ALL brands.. A NISSAN! Lmao!

[jayyoungai]

@BillySlone he means by the styling of the car because the new look maxima came out in 09', not by performance, just sayin.

[mben456]

Gotta love your Scandinavian engineering.

[Digs259]

I test drove the T5 yesterday and all I can say is WOW, the ride is comfortable yet sporty, the acceleration and shifting are smooth and seamless, being that it costs about 6 grand less than a BMW thats optioned the same, I say its one of the best bargains out there, an unsung hero if you will

[Digs259]

I plan on getting one in a few months, this car is awesome

[batman5270]

two tums up , excelent review , good job

[applesmnch2]

Volvox r the most reliable cars out there, it's just that they're not very popular in the u.s.

[jsrosa1282]

@applesmnch2 Yes they are popular in the United States, especially in the Northeast, New England in particular. There are plenty of aftermarket suppliers who produce Volvo parts when factory stuff is NLA.

[Mrzeng1]

your the best car review in youtube

[bwlupus]

So i decided to place an order on a 2012 T6, should be coming in June. Cant wait!

[daveyferraro1602]

is it rtue volvos are always in the shop?

[jsrosa1282]

@daveyferraro1602 No it's not - Volvos are some of the most durable and reliable cars on the market. If you own one, you will need to find a competent and certified Volvo independent mechanic. The average age of these vehicles when they are discarded is 19.8 years.

[TheThedragonwarrior]

i really like the direction Volvo is going with this car

[Vanrocco66]

I'm curious as to which car you liked better, the Saab 9-5 Aero or the Volvo S60? Which do you feel offered more for the money?

[TheThedragonwarrior]

@Vanrocco66 personally i like the style of the s60 but both are really good. u should test drive both and see which one fits your personality.

[Psycolynch]

@Vanrocco66

I personally driven both, the SAAB is a POS. Volvo is so much better in almost every aspect

[tootsiejoon]

@Vanrocco66 S60 by all means, saab is junk.

[UnRoman111]

@tootsiejoon if SAAB is junk Volvo is Junkyard

[vasprap]

nice work man keep on

[Bflakes30]

The Wonder Years theme song on the radio lol!

[bwlupus]

I though the underarms were Aluminum. In the factory build promotion video, they are made from aluminum but shown here they are steel. I have still yet to test drive a S60 but the BMW and Audi have aluminum underarms.

[Annihilator1111]

the 2010-present Volvo S60 is assembled in

Ghent, Belgium

[GrovedaboyTV]

I so want this CAR!!! THIS IS MY DREAM CAR

[KarlGoth]

these days i have been liking your videos before i see them

just opening thempress like button and close the video

[undacova87]

FINALLY Volvo has an audible locking sound!

[ChadRobertHill]

That car in orange with those wheels. Killer combination. :D

[markus11chung]

Volvo's DRL=all lights on. 

[PS2Gameplays]

@saabkyle04 Just for the future, the 2004+ Volvos (S40, V50, C30, C70(2007), S60(2010) and XC60 have automatic lights. You can never turn them off.

[treypwns360]

Does nissan make volvo because this car looks just like a nissan maxima.

[Mike102693]

@treypwns360 no ford used to own them then they got sold

[20Quirke08]

what you thing better s60 or s80?

[MisterWordman]

@20Quirke08 S80s the biggest sedan that Volvo makes. Its similar to the 3, 5, and 7 series that BMW has. 7 being the biggest etc.

[mrdiamondback1]

@20Quirke08 S60

[lmcneice]

@20Quirke08 With the new T6 Engine, the S80 seems like a waste, with a less powerful 3.2L engine, and costing $10,000 more.

[nauaj13]

@20Quirke08 S80 all the way!

[MegaShowmeit]

@20Quirke08 s80

[ThousanWhite]

This car sure is sharp

[LawBoy25]

Great improvement over the previous S60.

[energiefreak]

very nice review.good work.

[chryslerconcorde1]

just like the Aston Martin

[tobats2]

Ur job is amazing.

[kimmoque]

i spotted ur car at the parking lot...

[dmatthews210]

great video as normal. question: do you think you could find a '07 or higher S80 with the 4.4 V8?

[norra124]

@dmatthews210 There are no V70s with V8s only S80s

[coolapa4]

@dmatthews210 I have never seen a Volvo S80 with a 4.4L V8 engine... ? i have only heard that the 4.4 V8 comes with the xc90.. :o

[AdrianC12345]

@coolapa4 Few sold with the 4.4 V8 since most of them were old people who either got the T6 or 3.2 inline six.

[Mike102693]

@coolapa4 my dad has an s80 v8...it sounds like a beast pretty much like a mustang no lie

[bhigdaddymark]

My 1st Volvo ('93 940 136K mi) that I still drive with great joy, has been flawless. My current and 2nd Saab ('99 9-5, 1st was an '87 9000 turbo) is also a terrific car to own/drive. Volvo, previously owned by Ford has been sold to a Chinese company whiched concerned me. My Volvo service advisor has told me that the arrangement is the same as with Ford, mainly financial backing from the new owners and that Volvo still operates independently making all of the design and engineering decisions>>>>

[bhigdaddymark]

@bhigdaddymark thank God, but he quietly warned me that it will not be long before we start seeing Chinese parts working its way into this quality car brand and that concerned him and the other service advisors at the dealership. I didn't know if you knew this or not, so I thought that I'd mention it. Truth be told, the Chinese make inferior unsafe crap products and shouldn't have favored nation trade status (thanks Bill Clinton), so get your new Volvo NOW before they ruin a great car folks!

[crombie92]

nic e ride, do they make it in men's??

[LoveTheCity123]

Run into a semi-truck head on at 120 MPH. Walk away without a scratch. That's Volvo.

[uberman53]

very nice. does it come with GPS?

[xvrhernandez349]

@uberman53 that screen was the gps screen :)

[GTA4Cobra11]

In many of your videos you say it's in depth tour.We get just review without tour and that's bad!!

Don't be angry - I like your videos.

[EliteSlayer542]

I like Volvos but I think they should work on the design of their interiors. Center console layout is wierd and steering wheel looks weird as well.

[thenuge88]

wow that car has a lot of setting- accident prevention, active bending lights, steering wheel force adjustment!

[97I30T]

I only have one problem with this car....Wheres the stick shift version?! If they make an s60R hopefully they will offer it with a stick.
