10 things I LIKE about my 2002 Volvo S60

These are the 10 things I like about my Volvo. This is also my first 10 things about a car video.

[@MmMhrast]

Your Volvo doesn't run A/C when you lock the car (compressor is run with a belt from engine!) and cools down the cabin like A8 does but it blows the fan for minute or so to dry out the moisture from cooling system so that it does not smell like crap when you start your A/C like it does in almost every other cars when they get older. This is engaged about 5min after you lock your car. The cabin vent will blow full speed for a minute or so. First time it happend to me I thought my car lost its mind with the electrics and broke because it is quite loud if you stand near the car. That is a smart feature from volvo! Every car should have this implemented.

[@goldwinger5434]

My 2001 V70 turns on the blower about 50 minutes after I park the car, the manual backs this up. You got the reason right. I think that it is a pretty slick idea. It didn't surprise me when it happened because I'm one of those strange people who read manuals.

[@Acrum99]

That's quite neat! Is this a standard feature on all S60:s?

[@Frejborg]

Yes, I see others who have moisture inside their cabin, or smells, or whatnot.. my 2006 Volvo s60 has absolutely none of that.

[@zanejunt]

My 2004 s60 stinks when I turn on the ac and even after using it for an hour or so I bought it like this

[@heckraiserrr413]

@@zanejunt I wonder if the ac drainage tube is clogged up?

[@gordon5004]

My 2004 s60 is a great car. I really enjoyed your video.

[@unholysatanist]

I watch this video constantly. Your cadence and phrasing is so satisfying. I think I love you.

[@Joke9972]

I got an '07 b5244t5 engine, all the things you name are spot on. Glad I didn't buy the one with gps, but with the sound system, it is perfect. Had it since '14 now, will drive it up. 110,000 miles. Manual makes me do 28-29 miles per gallon.

[@tythornburg3460]

Love Volvo's! Had a `93 850GLT (Classic Red/Black leather) from '01-03 and an '04 V70 T5 Wagon (Silver/Lt, Taupe leather) in 2013. Both were exceptional running, tight, well-designed and, oh yeah, safe. Thanks for posting (and by the way... you are really cute ; )= ).

[@Komunalaren]

i have 2006 volvo s60 2.5T and its my best car i have own

[@jamalwalker8352]

I’ve always liked this body style S60. I have a 2002 S40 same color.

[@IwillBwaiting]

I like mine too . 2005 2.5T geartronic . It is an inbetween model with colour coded front , sides and rear but still the grey plastic at the bottom and no indicators in the exterior mirrors . Will be going through some changes since the interior top part needs to be same as lower parts (charcoal) and it never came in that colour originally . Mine is 452 from the outside with atacama interior .

[@Frejborg]

I love my '06 S60 2.5T in lunar gold metallic. Got sport seats, 17" alloys, water repellent glass, power sunroof, full leather interior, heated seats, very comfortable, nice cruising car. Ample power, almost no rust at all, getting near 200,000 kms, thing is in great condition, Volvo mechanics say my car is special. lol Would absolutely love to upgrade to a 2020 S60 T6 fully loaded.

[@sunsilks]

Great video.. I 've 2002 S60. Its awesome. My Ac also was running afet car was turned. Off it scaref me so bad I taught it was broken.

[@simont.tanguay5376]

@@waseemabulebdeh3805 I know its been three years, but do you still have it and do you regret?

[@waseemabulebdeh3805]

Simon Tanguay I sold it recently, it’s been a great car I do regret selling it due to the comfort in those seats, it was like sitting on a cloud, it’s been a great reliable car to me, never gave me any major issues, just always kept it well maintained and up to date with oil changes and the normal tune ups, I would consider buying another one as long it has been previously well taken care of, other wise it would be a total nightmare buying one that had a awful past owner. But it gave me all my moneys worth, would recommend getting one to anyone who likes the style and comfort as well as the speed the r gives

[@brentaudi9354]

Great Review. Really amazed at how cheap you can buy this model Volvo used.

[@djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

its cheap coz its a fuckin pain to work on and repair, engine bay design is terrible

[@ILUOUTLAWZ]

I couldnt agree more, I drive a 2002 volvo s60 also, and I just absolutely love it! Its really ahead of its time in so many ways 👌👍 tho, I do not have the turbo version, I have the 2.4L gas and it is not cheap in gas, I go like 5/6 km per liter 😅

[@spanky5607]

Hi i think the 2.4ltr does have a turbo

[@friedrichfriedrichaudio2960]

And it has soo much soul. Love it

[@ASDASD34RDFS]

The "cool off" isn't to cool the car down. It's just in order to remove humidity and such so in the winter/autumn your windows don't fog up.

[@NateEll]

I had a 2002 S60. Nice car to drive. Poor rear headroom though. It was relatively reliable too.

[@Viscosity-cb3xl]

Having driven Audi A4 and BMW's from same era the Volvo S60 T5 is streets ahead in performance, style and comfort. If you own one you are lucky

[@micke2943]

I too drive a S60 T5. Fun vid to watch! Here are top ten ting i hate about my Volvo! xD 1. The Aw55-51sn transmission, oh man that valvebody is a headache! 2. All the electronics involved in this car! Mine is fully equipped black S60. i get dtcs even from the doors!! xD most likeli some kind of bad contact, havent bothered to clear them. 3. Bushings!! get used to replace these every 30 000km. 4. The black paint! you can see every imperfection/dent on it! 5. If you are an advanced user of Volvos, then u might know what vida is. I really dont like it!! 6. Bad leg space in the rear seat! Used to own a S80, u can really notice the difference! 7. And again, all these ELECTRONICS! Sensors that monitor everything! Like the climate control panels thermometer sensor! it is bad in about every car! Many small components that go bad with time! (Still better than MB, Audi or BMW) 8. When you put on some larger rims than 17", you cant turn fully before the tire touch the inside och the wheel housings! 9. Light bulbs that does not work on the climatecontrol, speedo etc. 10usd / each... there are a few! 10. I hate the fact that many Audi, Bmw, MB owners think they got a dope S4, m3 etc... Until they race on the highway! Sayonara mf!! The t5 with a ecu flash makes this car go bananas on the highway! Even better with a stage 3 tune!! And the german auto boys just hate loosing on the highways! ;D

I get ....yes 37 miles to the gallon. in the city I get 23 miles per gallon and I burn regular.

Always loved the Volvo s40/60/80 design, truly a gorgeous design, especially compared to the early 90's models.

[@christopherjefferson3561]

You must have a T5

[@TheSkatersoldier]

pretty funny how this is a small engine for americans. in europe this is probbably a big engine compared to the average engine size :D

[@TheSkatersoldier]

It ain't me fool yeah it is. engine size doesnt really matter for power tho. american cars have like 3.8 v8 150hp. and here we have like 1.4 4inline which have the same hp or more

[@NateEll]

I had a 2002 S60 Turbo- didn't think the seats were great at all - Mercedes, aAudi and BMW seats, to my back, feel better

[@Komunalaren]

volvo is world safest car

[@urbanweekendwarrior7238]

it is a nice engine.. but fuel efficient? Assuming you have the T5, since my '08 C70 has the same EPA numbers, I get 18mpg city. And something closer to 220 HP. There was a polestar upgrade to the T5 in 2010 or 2011 that increased peak HP, not sure if an '02 can take that ECU tune though.

[@IwillBwaiting]

@Urban Weekend Warrior . Not sure what EPA stands for but the 08 C70 engine is a 2.5 . His car is a 2.3 (T5) , which came next in line after the 300 hp R model . His does have 247 hp and later models came with the 260 hp engine . I went shopping for a C70 ( the 3-series coupe was not within my range ) and came home with an S60 . If I did the polestar upgrade I would gain absolutely nothing but would lose one powerful bit : Max torque would start at 2000 rpm whereas it starts at 1500 stock . Mine is an 05 2.5 T ( same engine as the 300 hp version but mine is the low pressure turbo version with 209 hp ) I commented on this page regarding the fuel economy . I get better or same as the books . You do a lot of city driving I guess with the frequent occasional inbetween sprints . I cannot blame you .

[@Peppermint1]

I have read a lot of comments about these seats as among the most comfortable on the market. They are comfortable indeed, but it's also a matter of driving position. For tall drivers above 6ft or so the car lacks space at the pedals - you will have the push back and fully lower the seat but then you need to stretch your arms too much and there will be no legroom behind your seat (which is already very little). The S80 has more legroom and even more comfortable seats by the way, while the V70 had more rear leg room. On the reliability of the car, like any other European make these are expensive to run past the 100k miles mark if you let a garage do the work (or worse, the stealership). Several things need attention, a/c clutch, PCV system, front spring seats, transmissions on 2001-2002, clutch slave on manual (big job), cabin water ingress, control arms, cabin blower, water leaking into the CEM, anti-skid messages and so on. It is more reliable than a german car, but will have to spend and get good parts online and hopefully be able to service yourself. Of course, you may be lucky to find one with all repairs already done. The good thing is, once you get it fixed, these keep running for a very long time and we have nice forums to help with that.

[@TheMrDuck313]

Royale with cheese I have A 2001 Volvo s60 and it has 440 000 kilometers on it and passes inspection with flying colors. Sorry was too lazy To look Up how much that is In miles but I assume A decent amount. Love The car Only problem is that it uses alot of gas. This guy calling that Volvo fuel efficient was The funniest things ive heard In A while

[@Acrum99]

I find the seats to be really comfortable though. Also, my S60 has 260k kilometres on it (about 160k miles) and it isn't very expensive to keep, except for the amount of petrol it consumes. And that isn't a big problem if I drive cautiously.

[@brianmiller6346]

I am 6”4 and have no problem with the seats

[@stenhouse8569]

23mpg?? = fuel efficient USA ? wow

[@IwillBwaiting]

Mine should do 10.5 liters per 100 km's . Most times I use less fuel ( I admit it is not much less) . Show me cars brands or models who really (or better in my case) give the mileage they advertise with and are in their booklets ?

[@AlexShoe]

my friend says his s40 2.4 is slow as fuck haha

[@marfigue777]

Alex Shoe s40 doesnt have a turbo

[@AlexShoe]

the s40 t5 is turbocharged pushes like 220hp. but my friends is 2.4 only got 170hp... pretty slow! haha

[@mrkruger5108]

Alex Shoe 2.4 inline 5 does 8.2 seconds to 60. Not that bad and it sounds great. Also the interior is very nice. The T5 does 6.5 to 60

my grandad has a v40 and its sooooooooooooo underpowered its only a flat 4 lol!!! luckily were only keeping it for 6 months then its scrap.

[@domallen1451]

V40 never got a flat four there is no engine in the volvo range thats a flat 4

[@s40volvoguy]

the v40 is a 1.9 turbo 4 and it's definitely not underpowered, you should check for a broken turbo hose, broken vac line and most likely you need to replace the turbo control valve (super easy fix) as they stick when they get old.

[@bradbttl]

Yes there is, S40 1.6 diesel, V70 2.0 diesel, V40 1.9 diesel, in fact Volvo only make flat four engines now

[@DailyELI5]

1) Try not to be so monotone. 2) Have you driven a V8? 3) 2.4T if its an 02 S60 4) You do not have 247/hp and 243/ft-lbs tq, unless you have done work to the car. 5) It had 197 crank from the factory

[@alexandermoore2982]

If it's a T5, yes it's got 247 hp from the high-pressure turbo on the 2.3L, the B5234T3 motor IIRC. Previous video showed a 'T5' badge so I'm inclined to believe so unless you know of a particular badge swap done to this car ;)

[@anzonix]

2.3T if it is an R model

[@ace.can1]

i was thinking the same thing

[@tedbrookins]

The R would have 300 horsepower. Magnificently good cars in whatever form.

[@leadcounsel4869]

A lot of very superficial and trivial "likes" about the car. Nothing in depth or useful really.
