The luxury large executive saloon class has been around for a long time, but when Audi brought out the D2 platform A8 and gave it a V8 engine, the first S8 was born and 25 odd years later is looked upon as a bit of a pioneering car in large sports saloons.

    2013 V60 D5 R-Design LUX NAV Owner here; i like how the two things you turned off are the same things i did with mine; they just don't work right, but all the other stuff i leave on :D - I would in future avoid r-design spec due to how stiff its setup; get se lux etc and get it specd up :) There very little to complain about in real terms, yes the info system is showing its age, but it works and is still for the nav getting map updates. The boot on the V60 is only 430L which in estate land is small; the newer 2018+ V60's have a far better boot but are not a Volvo to me. Its hard to look at replacements when this car does things so well.

    Estaría genial que se pudiera traducir al español o a cualquier idioma este vídeo. ¿Existe algo que pueda traducirlo de forma oral? Yo tengo un Mini eléctrico full equip y lo que más me decepciona es el sonido del equipo de música Harman Kardon. Y es que al yo ser audiófilo y tener un sistema que iguala al modelo Level 2 en precio (40.000€) me gustaría por lo menos que tuviera un equipo Mark Levinson del mismo grupo empresarial. Pero también entiendo que no todo el mundo se compran un equipo de música antes que un coche, al menos en cuanto a un precio similar, como para necesitar un equipo de música equivalente dentro del coche

    In addition to keyless entry - having them linked to a profile is great - get into the car in easy entry mode and the seat is set back and the steering wheel adjusted out of the way - touch the brake and everything is adjusted automatically to your preferences! Share the car? Add a profile and a keycard or mobile and never have to squeeze behind the wheel again! Also for newer cars the Bluetooth can sense when you and yr phone are behind it and open the boot - no waggy legs! Lastly the phone can be in range of the car but not in use - say on the bedside overnight and the car knows this and automatically disconnects - helping to reduce the chance of theft. Then there’s pin to drive….. at this point my partner has either hit me or fallen asleep! Glad you’re enjoying the car - they’re not perfect but brilliant at the same time! Subscribed

    No need to hand your phone over or the key card that smartarse in the meeting thought of that as well. There is a function in the app called security and drivers. Select the manage drivers option. This allows you to share access i.e. the mobile phone key to their account. Have your wife download the tesla app create an account. Then share the virtual key with her. you can share with 5 others I think. She then has her own key for the car.

Overly eco engines that struggle when cold to maintain revs 7. Rear and front tyres on the same car with different profiles 8. Cars that bong if you start the engine before putting your belt on 9.

    S60 D5 R Design owner here. Couldn't agree more. Owned loads of second hand cars and I just can't bring myself to sell mine. With the anti roll bar and stiffer suspension it's even pretty chuckable around bends. Just gone past 171'000 and obviously I've changed parts due to wear and tear but it drives like new with not a single rattle to be heard. The only gripe I do have is the position of the fog light switches as you have to look around the steering wheel to see them which isn't ideal if you're driving in fog. Other than that I honestly don't have a negative thing to say about it. In Metallic Copper and with low profile tires it still draws looks and comments which for a decade old Volvo saloon is pretty insane. I've often thought about going for the Maxton Bodykit for this car but I also just like it the way it is.

    Have long since given up on Private Sales it seems to attract the absolute dregs of Society, Selling into the Trade or a Straight PX is worth it when you consider the t wats you have to deal with.

    My bmw 435i had all the following faults when I sold it to some garage from motorway. 4 bald tyres, knocking from the front, broken aircon (bmw had quoted me 2k to fix) due a service and was pulling to one side. I listed all the faults and the guy came and gave me what I wanted. Next day it was up for 4k more on their site clean MOT but wheels had been painted black and they added a crappy front lip spoiler thing. When zooming in the pics they had clearly just bodged the mot as I seen my same old bald tyres on there... I called anonymously and asked about the aircon and all this stuff saying "common faults these have they been done" and they like yeah no record of it but is all working 😂 load of bollocks

      Great info, thanks. Hope you exposed the dealer who resold it for being such utter crooks.

    I feel the pain and I think your remote location was the main barrier. I tend to keep my cars for about 5 years and typically have 3. I have sold privately almost every time with an honest detailed description, good photos and a sensible price. You do have to filter out the wasters. I am very selective when buying and I look after my cars so I know they are usually way better than most other equivalents. When buying the history and spec is super important to me and I will travel to get it. If a car is being sold with any form of non premium or non matching tyre it is an instant fail for me - a simple but effective filter.

      Thanks for the comment. Interested to know why the mismatched tyres is an instant red flag for you?

      @@car_babble Premium tyres perform significantly better (than budget/mid market) particularly in the wet and even more so when a bit worn. It also a sign of caring for a car - if the tyres are poor what else has been skimped to save money? Mismatched tyres on different axles is understandable but on the same axle is just no good. Left and right will perform differently in an emergency or in treacherous conditions. To an extent the stability control electronics can deal with that but only by reducing overall braking or traction. I mostly drive manual transmission powerful petrol rear wheel drive cars but the same applies to FWD or AWD.

    Disagree with you, buying from a dealer you have more security than private. As example, if something goes wrong with the car after purchase and it’s not fit for purpose, you can reject the car and get full refund. Yiu can’t do that buying private. I should know, I bought a performance car from a dealer and the engine seized not long after purchase. Thankfully, I got a full refund.

      What are you disagreeing with or did you not watch to the end where I said that people don't want to take the risk on a private buy?

    @robmccormick7412 25 дней назад

    I had the same experience about a month ago with a guy he wanted me to pay for an inspection online as well and he sent me the link. I knew it was bulshit instantly because it was a foreign website he was very pushy and was telling me to hurry up. I had the car on for 20000 and he wanted to give me 19 000 without even looking at it, and he had a Pakistani name
