Ours has 190K and still going strong. Many of the same issues here like the rubber seal etc. I agree the seats are superb and the highway cruising here in the mountains is effortless. Ours is still getting 25 mpg which is not bad.
I own a 2006 S60 2.5T with 155Kmiles. It runs like a Swiss watch. I just encountered my first electronics issue where the remotes wouldn't unlock the door. It appears that the Upper Electronic module in the mirror is acting flaky. I swapped out the Car and Remote battery but still had the error. The dealer said its 200 dollars and hour and they would be gambling as to what the module is that is causing the issue. I found a place that repairs the UEM and sends it back the same day. So I will let you know what happens. All in All this car is Solid, Safe and I am getting 28 mpg. I can't complain
Thanks for the review. How did you find the turning radius? How would you compare the turning radius to, say bigger cars like Toyota Camry XV40 or XV50?
I have never thought or tested the turning radius but it’s a good point. The turning in the Camry is nicer. Check this Camry ruclips.net/video/YRBm3rQkscI/видео.html. Two years apart.
@@wowcarwowwow, thanks for replying so promptly! Yeah. Big turning radius is one of the Achilles heels for this Volvo S60 partly because of the 5 cylinder engine length. Perhaps roads are wider in Kuching 😄 but do you remember ever had to make a 3 point turn for a simple u-turn?
@@gwloo basically Kuching roads are wide and U-turn has no issue but some narrow places, it’s quite tough with this car. Reliability is a good asset though. As I mentioned in the review, I don’t like cornering with this car.
Your fuel consumption is abnormally high, for a 2.0t. I have one and I am doing 10.7 l/100 km, with 80% of in town driving with average speed of 39 km/h
Your fuel consumption seems very high. My car has a different engine 2.5t, and the current average is 24 miles/gallon or 9.8l/100km. Though we often drive at high way speeds around here
I'm driving more on a mountain and city driving, and it's currently 18-19 MPG. Though I go up and down the mountain so going down helps the MPG a lot. So I don't think your MPG is unrealistic.
if you use 14 liters of petrol per 100 km then i think theres something wrong with your car. i have a 2.5 t automatic from 08 and only use 9 liters per 100 km.
This car has really big difference between running in city traffic jams and highway. Yep, my fuel usage while Im driving to work is about same - 14 l/100km. But when I drove to Scotland - about 1200 miles trip - my average fuel consumption was about 7 litres! And one more - while I bought car, computer showed average fuel consumption as 20.1mpg. I thought, is it good deal to buy this :D Now it is 33.6mpg. (yeah, it is English car). Cause I am driving lot more on roads out of city than previous owner, who probably drove only to shopping centres with it :D
Listening to your dislikes, you should've bought a Prius. It doesn't make any sense. It's a 1600kg car what doe you expect? To corner like a Lotus? Have the consumption of a hybrid? Oh and the rubbers, just buy new ones then, ever heard of maintenance? Of course rubber cracks when it's in 28 degrees for 16 years......
Lmao there is something wrong with your car. i have 7-9.1l / 100km consumption, also i have no problem at acceleration it is very good in every situation. but idk then can the automatic version be problem for that consumption. Also i was ok with all buttons and electrics. no problem at all.
There is no doubt that Volvo is a great car but where I live there are only two units of this model. Very rare and no one can fix the electric thing. All spare parts must be ordered online even the oil filter.
@@dildodickings2668 we have had many volvos in my family and i have never seend ABS or radio breaking. only dash i have seen in Volvo v70. they are known for bad solder joints in dashboard. but they are too fixable
@@Velehokala My 1999 s80 had a broken blinker switch and a faulty abs box. The local car electronics shop said those things along with dashes and headunits go all the time. When i looked them up they even had a picture of a p2 Volvo as their web page backround. Good thing those can be fixed so it's no biggie. Facelifted p2 cars are apparently supposed to be a bit better with electronics iirc.
Thanks for sharing your opinions on the car! It's very informative and you've owned the car a long time.

What electrical issues have you faced?
Agree with you about the this car. I have the xc70 2002 and she still runs pretty prefect. Are you in kuching?
Yes Kuching.
I'm in south africa/Ceres.

Honestly about the rubber.. that’s true..

you can tune this with a remap/chip. they easily goes to 300hp
The turbo needs to pass the 3500rpm or 4000rpm then the turbo kicks in if you don't like That just ad an antilag
pan Zer Good to know. Thank you.
No problem :)

This is City driving. Tested over one year. The engine is in perfect condition.
Thanks for sharing. I love that.
I see many of these used for cheap
Should I invest in one or just stick to a Toyota
Volvo cars really reliable. If you are in KL, you should get one if you find one in good condition. It’s easier to get it fixed there.
My fuel usage is 7.4l / 100km
Not bad. Mine is used in the city.

@@kaspararrowitz8730 thanks for sharing. However it’s a very well built car.
Looks like you took care of this car
This is only the 2 litre turbo. The 2.5 litre AWD is quicker.
Yes. But when the turbo kicks in, it’s too fast to drive in the city. Without turbo and at low RPM, it feels sluggish.
The 2.3 litre S60 T5 even quicker again. It has the high compression turbo
i
have the same car with 22k miles looking to sellit scotland
It’s a good reliable car but they are extremely rare in our town. All spare parts have to be ordered online.

You’ve got a point.

@@wowcarwow lmao. but it is very rare if something from electric thing brokes down. it happens almost never. only the bulbs can burn out
@@Velehokala The abs box, dash and radio are well known for breaking in these tho
