    Collectors sports sedan. Superior power, reliability, comfort, features. The sound of that 5 cylinder turbo is intoxicating

    My daughter just bought a 2007 as her first car. We are only $2.5k into it so far. Every day is a new adventure with transient error messages. Good times!

    I bought my 04 S60 Rm for 1500. I did BC racing coilovers, ipd rear toe adjustment arms, and new tires for about 2k. It's been very reliable but it's still a fairly expensive car to own. My paint is trashed and it has a constant CEL for one thing or another but I still love owning it. Cheers from NM!🎉

      Volvos are money pits ...I have had a 2010 Volvo S 80 turbo 6 cyl.... for 2 years now with 110,000 miles ..And I haven't stopped fixing things .......2 oil leaks $800.....rear suspension $700 .. Lost the AWD system ...front struts and parts $1000... and I'm not done yet .....the car is cleaning out my bank account......this will be my last Volvo.... I should have bought a V 6. Impala with 300 hp....there is no way I would have spent that much on it.....

    How would you feel if someone wanted to get either a 2.4L S60 non-r or a S60 Non-r AWD , and build on that, versus a S60r (be it 2.5 or even a 2.4L if it exists) ?
    Very neat video, thanks for making it!

      A lot of people build T5s and a lot of R owners actually swap in a T5 block. They are pretty good but it would take more work to make the same power as an R

      @hi_how_are_ya_ 4 месяца назад

      I own a 06 s60 t5 the 2 4t is what the t5 models have they have thicker cylinder walls compared to the 2.5l you can make good power between 400 500hp on both 2.4l and 2.5l but more reliably on the t5 block hope this helps..iv also owned 05 s60 t5 and a 05 xc70c. I love volvos
