Performance and luxury at the same time. Love the colour of this beautiful interior!
Thanks for the comment! That interior is amazing! Rather uncommon also. It could use a little bit more power but it will get the job done. The torque figure is decent: 400 nm (295 lb-ft)
Very beautiful engines noise, i love it!💪🏼🤩
Is that 2.0 5cyl?
Cheers! It sure is beautiful! There's something magical about those 5-cylinder diesels.
@@robajz7502 Exactly!
😍👏🏽
Love the interior and the two tone colors! Its just comfort and beautiful car! Didn't look much like 10 year old car (oh man I'm getting old) how's the comfort in the bad terrain areas? And what's your review about it
The spec on this one is amazing! Unfortunately, the car was dirty outside but the exterior color is also pretty cool in bright light. And yep - it has aged very well. You're not the only one who feels old ;) I prefer it to the facelift, at least the front-end. Otherwise, it's a solid vehicle. Almost built like a tank. Some rattles here and there while driving on bad roads but nothing major. I plan to produce a full review/tour of other S60 someday, then I can go more in-depth. And as always - thanks for the great comment!
@@Specproof it has tons of features for its time. It is of course build like tank because it’s Volvo! Beautiful interior and very quite interior sound!
@@samyadav006 Yes - the features! Especially the adaptive cruise control which was rather common on those. Overall It's an amazing deal compared to German rivals features wise. That aspect makes it underrated.
Hi! Great videos! What do you thing about gearbox? Isn't it too slow? I am looking for V60 D3 but wondering should I get manual or automation one. I heard that automatic transmission is not very durable, is it even good / fast / efficient? And for the end - V60 will be better choice than A4 B8 / W204? :) Do you have a comparison?
Hi! Thanks for the positive feedback! That means a lot to me! That's a great question! So - Volvo offered 3 types of transmissions in that period: a 6-speed manual, 6-speed "Geartronic" automatic and a Ford sourced "Shiftronic" DCT. The DCT is on to avoid at all costs. It's a fine transmission but very problematic and has high maintenance. It has the nickname Shitronic. I personally haven't driven any Volvo or Ford with that transmission. That said, luckily I have experienced 3 different S60s from the same era. One in the video belongs to my father - he has been dallying it for about 4 years now. Zero issues with the transmission. The shifts aren't fast but I wouldn't call them slow either. Unfortunately, there's no sports function on them. Now I personally have an S60 from 2013. A very late pre-facelift example which means that it came with an updated shifter - all the facelifts came with that shifter. And they have a sports function which definitely shifts quicker. I personally couldn't complain. It's recommended to change the oil after every 80k km. I changed mine right away and it made a nice difference. Now the manual - well it's definitely reliable and low maintenance but the shifter feels loose and clutch engagement isn't enjoyable - far from sporty and pleasant. In the end, I'll go with the rather common Geartronic transmission any day.
@@Specproof Hi. I'm looking to buy a 2011 S60 with an auto. Is there any way of figuring out whether it has the Shiftronic or the Geartronic?
Hi, Bro! Whats the fuel consumption on this car?
Hi, Viktor! Real-life consumption is around 5-6 l/100 km on highway, 7-10 in the city. Worst case scenario is 12 when it's really cold (less than - 10 degrees Celsius). I personally have a little bit newer S60 with the same engine and my calculated average is exactly 8L per100km. My routes are about 40% on the highway and 60% in the city.
From the interior it doesn't even look 10 year old vehicle. How much bumps and bad roads areas you feel in it?
It rides nice! Bumps are isolated masterfully. It's not an S-class but still rather comfy.
the audio volume is too low
Thanks for the feedback! The binaural microphones are sper sensitive, so it's difficult to set them right. But I'll do my best to improve on that departement.
