@@SacreDro I have that exact car with the Polestar package. I'm @ 36,644 miles and no issues. Enjoy driving it? Without a doubt the best car I have ever driven. I still get compliments on an almost daily basis. It's a head turner for sure.
The best reviewer. Speaks the truth, no bullshit, no bias... You do not not acknowledge and give credit because you stubbornly still see Volvo as a niche or the odd one out. Volvo is on the rise and demands respect. It's a premium car now, the brand has been around for about 100 years. Volvo's are great cars and you understand that. You don't judge it for what it's not or not trying to be. Keep it up 👍 Btw the smaller size compare to the S90 makes the shape and line look way better. For example the rear looks great while on S90's looks odd.
You forgot to mention one of the most important qualities, '' beauty '', the S60 is an exquisite design, something that is hard to find in cars today, hope that cars like this Volvo will change the mentality of people who are thinking of buying a stupid SUV or a Minivan.
I test drove a T5 last night and I was very surprised at the power and smoothness of the engine. Great sedan and just as Dave said, it is just the right size. Well done.
Beautiful car! Have 2016 S60 T5 Inscription absolutely love driving it. Big upgrade from my previous car an Elantra. I’m usually the only Volvo on the road 😘
Same here buddy. S60 IS A BEAST!! Awesome‼️、 Its just feel that good,...the sound, the class, the tightest... luxury without excess, speed with more safety...and so comfortable! Not to mention it looks beautiful on the eye, and you don’t see so many on the streets...like bmws and benz..which often its not even half as reliable as any volvo. I drove over 7 hours on a recent trip...and still felt fresh and joyfull to drive. I might in a near future buy the newest Sedan version...

Tbh, its just a matter of Volvo taste. It has always been like that haha. Volvo has a car for everyone. And lets not forget the looks and the quality on this new line of Volvos, i swear no one expected this. They just look so good, its safe to say they nailed it!
Haha 6:35 "Whoa, I don't want to tell you how fast that is, but I got there in a hurry." I love your enthusiasm mate, very entertaining car interview! Big thumbs up, cheers!
The screen seems much easier to use than I imagined! Beautiful car. Some manufacturers are not interested in sedans anymore! Clearly Volvo embraces both sedans and SUVs! Both excellent!
I work at a Volvo dealership and I just think it’s funny how they’re giving automotive journalists these S60’s, meanwhile we were supposed to have these in our inventory about a month ago. You would think since they built the factory in the US, that the time to build and ship them would be cut down a little bit, but no.
Finally a guy who appreciates Volvo as much as I do!😍👏 The new cars are absolutely incredible! My favourites are V90 T8, S90 T8!😍 I’ve driven the XC40, XC90, V40, V40 Cross Country (both old and new) , V60 both old and new still haven’t tried the T versions only D3, and the XC60 old one, still haven’t tried the new one, but I will one day!😍👏
This S60 has a fresher look than Audi. I have an '09 S80, and even with 110,000 miles, it drives great. After I get over 200,000 miles, I get one of these used.
I know that with my s60 2.0t from 2008. I'm obsolete, but still it looks like 3yr old, runs perfectly with 183k km and with webasto, memory seats, pro logic surround, leadder, heaters, bixenon, etc. it makes me feel satisfied.
I love this car!!! Ready to sell my 2004 S60R in a few months and cop a 2020 S60 T6 R Design frfr!!! Volvo hit a grand slam with this new generation S60!!!! Great commentary by Dave!!!!
Can’t wait to drive the V60. I appreciate your disclosure on your close relationship with Volvo. Some may say that it leads to bias but I’ll take it for what it is, a company that wants you to drive their cars.
I used to love VAG, BMW and Daimler cars but decided not to buy them anymore. They dont deserve my or any money if they do fumes testing on animals. I got a Volvo recently and so far so good. Thanks for this review.
Test drove one and liked the look and interior but didn't buy it due to the crappy 4 cylinder engines. I stomped on the T6 and it made a ton of noise but didn't have the performance or refinement of a 6 cylinder engine. I passed.
My 2019 S60 Inscription is horrible. Horrible build quality. My first and last Volvo. Has been plagued with rattles, buzzes and vibration issues. Reached out to Volvo USA and dealer it was purchased at, been in and out of the shop too many times to remember. Volvo USA puts it on the dealer....dealer puts it on Volvo....horrible experience. Asked them to buy the piece of crap back and denied my request. I make everyone who is shopping a Volvo, aware of my experience. I am sure I have cost them at least 3 sales at this point. Shame cause it is an attractive sedan, but I can’t wait to get it out of my driveway.
I don't like rear lights, having it on bigger Volvo is ok, but some more sporty style like on last Jaguar XE, or mazda 3 sedan would be winner for this car.
Great review! My 2020 S60 Inscription with Polestar optimization is being built right now to arrive in early July. It will replace my 2017 S90...looking forward to it!
hi, how's your experience for the infotainment system? there isnt any physical button in the car. is that a problem when you want to set ac or heated seat or steering wheel while driving?
"Damn son", dope review. Love Volvo, this really reminds me of my beloved 1995 850 turbo. I've always been a fan boy of Volvo. Thank you for another amazing review
The only thing that let's it down in the performance I've been seeing is the automatic is not snappy and quick which makes the car "feel" slower then it should be
Hate the lack of buttons on the info system especially for hvac, and I also don't trust the engine. It's a shame really looks fantastic and comfortable.
@@DrDajom I was listening to a review on Savagegeese today and this is exactly what he was worried about. He LOVED the car but suggested people consider leasing because of the complexity of the engine.
Never thought about a Volvo S60 until now. For me style and function are key. It has to be able to take curves as i live on a mountain. And this car in black is very masculine. Love it! Thinking of buying a used 2019 if i can find one.
Hey guys need unbiased advice. I’m looking at an Audi A4 Quattro awd and a Volvo t6 s60. Test drive the Volvo and the breaks were sounding a bit and almost grabbed a little bit only when going fast. The dealer said sometimes this happens when not driving the car and it raining because Volvo uses a special metal. So idk that true? Which car should I go for? The Audi was nice and it felt pretty good need your opinions.
Dave, . How is the backup camera? Audi’s A6-7 are grainy and awful. Is there are 360 camera view angle? Heated seats? Ventilated seats? Powered seats in driver and passenger? Thanks!
It's worth adding the polestar add horsepower Tigthens s the suspension up. I can go from 50 to 100 in a snap! Well they are governing some of the speeds in the newer ones I think my 2019 was the last year before they started governing the speed. I just wish it was wider. My 2011 e 350 Benz is wider had to chip it because it was a dog
Volvo used to be a practical and utilitarian high end car. It seems like there’s now too much focus techno-gadgetry that unnecessarily elevates the price of the car. After 20 years in a base model S60 with textile interior, I’m disappointed at my options for my next car. I have a 15.2 cu. ft. trunk. The 2019 S60’s I have seen don’t have a donut spare or a trunk well large enough to accommodate one. Is the stupid tire repair kit supposed to be a luxury or a reason to buy a Subaru?
I recently got 2019 certified s60 t6 polestar with 25k miles and it shows around 17mpg. Driving in daily mode. 50/50 highway and city. Also I feel like the first second of acceleration has a delay or something. Acceleration doesn’t work right away. Is this normal thing for Volvo?
It's gorgeous! But, I can't get around the fact it's only a 4-cylinder, no matter how much horsepower it cranks out. I require great acoustics to go with that hp!!
We just traded in our 2011 335xi M-Sport with BMW performance engine tune for a 2019 S60 R-Design with Polestar tune. The BMW was a very special car to us. There are things my wife and I both like better about each one, for sure. Power seems about equal between the two. The S60’s engine is no joke; especially with the Polestar tuning, but it definitely doesn’t have the growl of her BMW. The Volvo is more responsive off the start than our BMW was. It is a smoother car to drive, and definitely more comfortable. I think the BMW would have felt more at home driven at the ragged edge around a track; it had a lot of soul, but the Volvo seems to be equal or better for the other 85% of situations.
Which S60 sedan is my best option for the wife in the Northeast where I can switch out the tires in the winter for dedicated snow tires? I am thinking the R design wouldn't be so great as it appears lowered? Please dont mention the suv the wife hates them.
Fake leather seats for that price. No thanks I will keep my S80 2010 Volvo with a T6 6 cylinder turbo engine. It runs like the day I bought it. It also has real leather. I will keep my S80 until it dies. To bad they don't make these Volvo cars like they used to. I just test drove the S60 yesterday and it felt totally cheap and light. My S80 is super heavy which I love and you feel totally safe in it. Too bad these cars are now made in China. Mine however, was made in Sweden. Also, my husband is also 5 feet 11 inches tall and he couldn't fit in the back seat without turning his feet to to side because obviously someone is in the drivers seat with the seat back which would be less room for anyone sitting in the back.
The S60 is made in Charleston, South Carolina, not in China. The biggest factory is still in Sweden where most models are made. They mainly make the S90 in China and the rest in Sweden and Belgium.
@@Smurkitz The funny thing is the Chinese-made Volvos may have the best quality of them all. People need to not be so hung up on "Made in China." It's not what it used to be.
I have a new XC60. The thing is once you are set. theres not much things to change in the touch screen, and it is so easy to use. You can do voice command as well. Coming from a BMW 3series F30 msport. I say this cars quality is way better.
I am confused by the Inscription, Momentum, and Premier. I want to lease one but I am unsure. Now you throw in the R-Line. I'm even more confused. I drove the momentum and it was heaven so I am not sure what is different from R-Line. They looked the same. What am I missing?
I don’t see many Volvo’s out here in Southern California these new Volvo’s looking very nice compared to the old ones I thought the older Volvo’s had boring cheap looking interiors all around.

great car, but the touch screen centre seems laggy
This video explains more features of S60 than Volvo's own videos or sites. Thanks.
I like it in red... I would not have chosen that color.
LOL
wish more people would buy more colorful cars! too many grey/white/black ones around, I drive a light blue car proudly
Well done, thanks.
As for Volvo, they need to put back the blind spot indicator inside rather than in the side mirror.
Frankly this one is a real masterpiece

Sounds great!
Might want to change that title. It is an S60 not an S90

They are so unreliable now but I would definitely lease one. The ones 10 years back we pretty reliable and the ones 20 years back were tanks.
Yeehaw, Jester's dead....great reference! Another good video my man. That is a gorgeous car.
Nice review Dave. I’m really enjoying my XC90 polestar so I can relate to the family/fun balance.
Why are the residuals so poor? It’s a slick car, but they depreciate so fast.

Fake leather seats for that price. No thanks I will keep my S80 2010 Volvo with a T6 6 cylinder turbo engine. It runs like the day I bought it. It also has real leather. I will keep my S80 until it dies. To bad they don't make these Volvo cars like they used to. I just test drove the S60 yesterday and it felt totally cheap and light. My S80 is super heavy which I love and you feel totally safe in it. Too bad these cars are now made in China. Mine however, was made in Sweden. Also, my husband is also 5 feet 11 inches tall and he couldn't fit in the back seat without turning his feet to to side because obviously someone is in the drivers seat with the seat back which would be less room for anyone sitting in the back.
The S60 is made in Charleston, South Carolina, not in China. The biggest factory is still in Sweden where most models are made. They mainly make the S90 in China and the rest in Sweden and Belgium.
@@Smurkitz The funny thing is the Chinese-made Volvos may have the best quality of them all. People need to not be so hung up on "Made in China." It's not what it used to be.
Great info! Looks like your in Spokane?
3:05 What's up with the little snuff box? A simple push button ignition wouldn't do?
Energy full video. Good work
I like the editing of your videos. It flows well.
WKaznartist Thank you very much, I took a different approach to my editing this time around and it turned out better than I expected.
I assume the V60 R Design drives the same way? And handles better than the XC40?
my brother has a bmw 645 v8 and this Volvo s60 is hard ahead of him
Great video! But damn that touch screen is such a huge distraction when driving.
No it isn't
I have a new XC60. The thing is once you are set. theres not much things to change in the touch screen, and it is so easy to use. You can do voice command as well. Coming from a BMW 3series F30 msport. I say this cars quality is way better.
Great review of the handsome Volvo S60 👍
looks better than the s90
Cause s90 has rear licence plate on bumber not on trunk lid like s60, don't you agree?
It's a buetifull car ,I want to get a used one, soon
I am confused by the Inscription, Momentum, and Premier. I want to lease one but I am unsure. Now you throw in the R-Line. I'm even more confused. I drove the momentum and it was heaven so I am not sure what is different from R-Line. They looked the same. What am I missing?
Is your Google broke?
Momentum, entry level. R-Design, sportier. Inscription, highest level trim and engine choices.
This would be a nice upgrade from my 2012 S60, but... I'm looking more toward Tesla. ;)
Get the t8, 400 hp
Sounds like a thirsty car. I have the t5 but it keeps getting problems. I'm torn between the model 3 and model S.
That's anti American
@@johansvensson830 anti American to buy a Tesla? As opposed to buying a Swedish car? ;)
@@wshaffer79 Ive heard that telslas have bad quality, dont know if its true. Just make sure to do your reasearch ;)
Great real world review
Thx
Hey Dave, at the end you say the pricing ranges from $35,00 to $55,000. Can I have the $35 one please LoL 😂
Erickson...that is surely an old Swedish surname; "Eriksson" or Ericsson"! Great vid!
I don’t see many Volvo’s out here in Southern California these new Volvo’s looking very nice compared to the old ones I thought the older Volvo’s had boring cheap looking interiors all around.
Wow they took the S90 and made it affordable
Sushi wonder how big that inscription back seat is gonna be...
You got me going in the first few seconds lol
