Car Tech - 2013 Volvo S60 T5 AWD

cnet.co/VbqdGf
When you want a techie European, but not the usual German car.

[@jrmt6]

Volvo's seats are the best and make awesome highway cruisers. Also the S60 was the only european car to get a "Good" in the new IIHS test. Volvo For Life!

[@ThousanWhite]

Cooley's reviews are informative, insightful, and god damn hilarious. I watch these to put me to sleep at night!!! I test drove this T5 a few years ago and I was impressed by its performance.

"From too close... to too dame close!" Having a giggle-fit over here xD Mr. Cooley is the best :D

[@michelleobama3013]

*damn

[@hyltonswemmer4824]

Enjoyed this for the great commentary - appreciate a more practical, direct, objective and no-nonsense review. Well done dear Sir !

[@MatthewThePrincess]

"Don't buy a 3 series." *shows picture of 1 series BMW* come on. It cannot be that hard to find a picture of a 3 Series BMW.

[@lukeyang5580]

I know, right? I'm surprised that nobody noticed before they uploaded the video!

[@michelleobama3013]

I know right? Wow, a couple of errors ticks you off? Come on.

[@Alexakamathieu]

Its a 1m

[@Pelinas]

They are same crap anyway, sorry

[@victormendes1588]

I really like this guy's review I am planning buying a T6 so his inputs are appreciated.

[@nickomiya]

LOL 0:22 I didn't know Volvo was spelled Volovo....

[@jaydenthompson1747]

Lol

[@dclay8412]

Brian Cooley has come a long ways I love his reviews. He was part of a morning R&B/Hip Hop radio team in Los Angeles back in the day. Yes I said R&B/Hip Hop! he was very funny back the too.

[@jaredsc10]

Talking about the 3 series, and laying over videos and images of the 1 series.

[@jayb0nd007]

Please do a review for the 2017 Volvo s90

[@netman88]

Cooley Rocks on the car reviews again ! ;)

[@Yozer245]

the intro proposal... one of the main reasons i would wanna buy the s60

[@SuperChamps29]

Cooley is Back.... i have restored the faith in humanity again ..

[@imagineerz13]

Any engine with an even number of cylinders should be smoother than ones with odd numbers of cylinders. With six cylinders, the forces of each piston are cancelled out (three up at once and three down at once) where as a five cylinder has one piston that is not cancelled out by another, and creates a bit more roughness.

[@josephsolderich4668]

Gear shifter lights up at night! Looks amazing

[@mattmcewan1980]

Yeah he clearly didn't drive it at night, the shifter looks awesome

[@quikstone7]

he's the only reason i'm subbed to cnet.. 100 times better then all the other vids lol

[@PENGUINIAN1995]

COOOOOOLEY!!! Good review!! T5's haul ass when tuned right.

[@doitallhome]

Cooley you have a fan club!

[@HB3ZZY]

Lmao I like this guy he adds a bit of humor to automotive reviews. "Look out for the buggy man in the back seat"!

[@Peppermint1]

Cross fingers when the PCV system will clog up, even with very low miles. After 2010, several car makers, Volvo, Audi, Bmw and others, used a PCV system that was badly designed and would start clogging ever before 30000 miles. The consequence is a sudden important oil consumption, which is is not corrected immediately - by replacing the PCV with a improved design, will cause piston ring and rod bearing damage, causing the engine to fail. Audi and Bmw are well aware of the issue and will repair the car without questioning but Volvo, with the now their proverbial attitude of denial (think ETM or XC90 T6 transmission) will blame the customer and deny any responsibility. Why Volvo doesn't discard their Management team and hire responsible people, it's a mystery.

[@Neptune8]

I’m under the impression they sourced from the same manufacture. Or the PCV system is just another stupid thing emission controls had to tack on. (Can you tell ive had pcv failures in multiple cars?)

[@josephtembo3489]

Time to own this machine..❤

[@zzoinks]

The led on the remote is a great idea! I don't like how my car right now has absolutely no acknowledgement of locking other than flashing the lights only one time and never again.

[@mraurora]

I love this man!

[@aquateen77723]

"Look for the Boogeyman in the back seat." LOL! Cooley cracks me the hell up!

[@mattmcewan2296]

What is that dope ass song playing when he's talking about the key

[@corystansbury]

lol@ Quaker pews. Nicely done, Brian.

[@jonyyukon1996]

Best in its class

[@CubanBeastt]

2013 volvo s60 t5 premier vs 2014 ford fusion titanium , same price, both less than 20k miles which one to chosse i love them both.

[@jaydenthompson1747]

CubanBeast volvo

[@s50201]

Cooley takes a bit to get used to -but once you do, you find other reviewers to be insufficient relative to his technical knowledge, clarity, thorough efficiency, and little bits of humor that comes out from nowhere.

[@georgesnyder5337]

Maybe, but confidently delivering inaccurate data does not make it more accurate.

[@s50201]

George Snyder Of course not. My point was once you get used to him, he's actually a likable and comparatively robust reviewer vs. tons of junk reviewers out there. Where btw is his info inaccurate on this vid? I don't doubt the man's imperfect, but just curious.

[@bvedant]

Alex on Autos is great

[@adam1othman]

its better looking than the germans

[@Bmwx5fan9]

Wooh that looks just like the iDrive setup

[@KKGill-vl2xc]

love s60 wow what a car

[@RK12373]

I love it!

[@mathiasvdk]

Volvos have gotten so good looking in the past few years!

[@Kavasacation]

Like BMW, Their North American customer center is in New Jersey, where they send test cars to reviewers.

[@jeffscomp]

Fun to watch Cooley

[@sainteustatious]

more specifically, the ultra rare 1m!

[@vanhakaveri]

it is cause they spin at the same rate as the shutter speed in the camera.

[@9Renovatio9]

The First car they are showing is not actually a 3 series, but a 1 series coupe.

[@MGR99]

thank you for sharing that this is graet news.

[@Fondmental]

that was not a 3 series, it was a 1 series

[@caliboyrob]

Volvo has come a long way. Much better visuals, interior and engines. Only thing id like too see is More Room

[@iron2468]

He said "Quaker pews in old churches", hilarity at it's finest.

[@mace2142]

why were they showing the 1m instead of the 3 series at the star?? very good cnet! hahaha good editing! but i love your reviews

[@jugo588]

Omg you're awesome

[@kumbackquatsta]

review the polestar version, and then review a golf tdi

[@AshPhoenix]

Is the T6 smoother than T5?

[@farrenvilla7225]

3:20 look for the boogie man in the back seat lol!

[@wsijtsma]

The S60 is actually made in Ghent Belgium.

[@mathiasvdk]

@leonxl that's Saab

[@MNRick041]

Great video! Look out for the boogeyman in the back seat.

[@1300mer]

Brian Cooley is a funny guy.

[@rodolfocortez5406]

Volvo. for life.

[@Solarprimeminister]

Volovo @ 0:23

[@SuperChamps29]

LOL have a happy Weekend :)

[@qbanmetal]

Wow that's crazy but true dvds are retro

[@geoffnolan5762]

Well, I like it. 6.6 s to 60 mph - when I was a kid, only sportscars did that!

[@thatvolvoguy6565]

Should look at the t6 then

[@miltre21]

"To close... to damn close"

[@lawrencey0y]

He said it had great seats tho

[@PwnYouAtSoccer]

The "3 series" in the beginning was a 1 series...

[@yamahaevo]

Yeah Belgium to.

[@HolyMarioAndLuigiFan]

On the title on the Video it says Volovo :-)

[@alexheckman6776]

“Throttle response is too twitchy in sport mode”. Shouldn’t a sport throttle be twitchy and responsive?

[@bvedant]

I think he just feels something is mildly off about that mode. He should try the Polestar. These are really cool cars

[@mattmcewan2296]

Brian Cooley hates Volvos

[@omgstevejobs]

He's been back for quite a while. Search for Bentley Continental GT.

[@Selleswiet]

Really Cooley? That was a picture of a 1-series, not a 3-series.

[@Garf2O]

I think the front grill area looks very bleh, sorta like a hyundai elantra, but the rest of the car is really sharp looking, they just sorta dropped the ball on the front.

[@AshPhoenix]

Chinese ownership only. Geely has a lot less influence on Volvo than Ford. In a way, Volvo is now more swedish.

[@simpsonsfan234]

from 0:00 to 0:05 that was a 1 series not a 3 series...

[@TimeHopeFaith]

Well Ford basically took more technology than gave back to Volvo. For example, the body on current Fords are all Volvo bodies slightly modified with cheaper parts and a heavier weight. Volvo is a really good company. I really like them more than anything else.

[@muhann4d]

Volovo .. Sounds like a guy trying to say Flafel after consuming 4 liters of tequila :D

[@delflameskid]

yes it is its swedish

[@leonxl]

Didn't Volvo stop producing cars??

[@bmwmsport11]

the first car was a 1-series...not a 3

[@ProtegeTuype]

Brian is the American Jeremy Clarkson

[@TheHenryTown]

4:35 It's wheels don't even spin *_*

[@larsandroid]

That's a 1 series at the start of the video..

[@Veyronp87]

lol that was a 1 series at the beginning

[@tmwall25]

cooley is funny as hell!!!

[@deltasworder1x]

I remember the s60 they presented it by showing the emergency auto brake tech at about 15-20 miles per hour. it failed the test in front of the entire media hahahahaha

[@eugn86]

that's because they forgot to turn it on

[@Junior25760]

you spelled Volvo wrong. 0:20

[@ghelsappa]

Anyone notice the NJ license plate? haha

[@jonokiller]

or you could check out the new saab......DAMN IT!

[@PANGES]

Why does the boogie man look like the Quaker oats guy?

[@UberMan5000]

That's like saying Jaguars are Asian because they're owned by an Indian company. They're just not.

[@yamahaevo]

Still made in Torslanda Sweden, and they will not change anything.

[@jonokiller]

of course, i put "new" in the comment now

[@deltasworder1x]

Ouch. well that was a shock to their system. lol

[@TheHenryTown]

lol one of the funniest XD

[@TrevorEditor]

Only 20/29? FUCK that.

[@BucksCountyTrikker]

Did this guy EVER actually like a car he reviews?

[@bvedant]

it's his job to critique. he seemed to really like Jetta TDI and GTI overall as cars

[@MbooshG400]

No, they're Swedish

[@simonemybjrnlarsen6872]

i don't agree with him .. i like the design (:

[@AlexPotvin]

>3 series >shows 1 series

[@999benhonda]

not a bad car, but id take a 740 turbo over this any day.

[@0194D]

Congrats, now get "first" on a MinnesotaBurns or Nintendo video. Have fun completing that task. :P

[@UberMan5000]

1:00 "Danish ethic"? Aren't Volvos Swedish?

[@yamahaevo]

It's is lol. Us people don't know the difference anyway.

[@Berenvacht]

This reviewer needs to slow down his pace, boy he is talking fast.

[@770Noe]

Hahaha, seems like this video is meant to talk negative of this Volvo car rather than positive. So much for a "great Volvo T5". My goodness.
