This man is a student of the historical televised car review

Yup dry and dull.

I’ve had the D4 for three years now. Despite 140 thousand miles it is still tight and without structural rust. Just gone through its Mot with just an advisory that one of the two number plate lights has failed😊 My other car is a MX5. Two great cars for under £12k combined is economical and quite sensible….

[@simonmiller5165]

Usual high quality review. In-depth and enough content to make a decision. Will buy one on this review alone. Thank you.

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Wow so glad it was helpful, let us know what you'd like to see next

[@ThroughJermainesLens]

Got myself a Volvo V40, and it is very nice! My brother has the bigger V60, and just love it!!! The interior is stunning! And timeless! Not big dispay, nothing to really distract you! And easy for control!

[@smiIingman]

Camera quality straight out the early 2000s for a 2014 car.

[@s20091504]

I love that vibe

[@gigabyte2573]

The floor in the boot area is in fact a load divider, so if you have a couple of shopping bags you put up the divider and put the bags behind it to stop them moving all over the load space when going round corners !

I have a 2014 V60 with the T4f engine! I absolutely love the car, comfy seats, great sound system(Even though it's the kinetic standard package) and it looks very good and sporty as well since the facelift(Glad they changed those big ugly headlights from the pre-facelift). Also pretty good amount of power and mileage in the T4. Hope it'll stay reliable and fairly trouble free for me in the future.

[@NilsHedstrom]

Worth mentioning though all these years later that the early D4 VEA(Volvos own engine) seems to have been the most troublesome out of all the v60 engines. They are great, and considering how many own the D4 then most probably have a trouble free ownership, but there's still a good amount that have trouble with it burning oil. Seems to be some faulty components in the ones from 2014-16.

[@Goldadon]

​@@NilsHedstromWhat is your current milage now if I may ask? I'm looking to buy a 60K mile V60 with t3 engine and want to boost it to t4 spec (t2 and t3 are exactly the same as, but just restricted t4 engines)

[@NilsHedstrom]

@@Goldadon Thats great, 60k is barely run in hehe! I bought mine with around 100k and is now at around 110k(Don't drive that much). Yea I've heard the T3 and T4 are pretty much the same. Didn't know they made a T2 though, In sweden T3 is the smallest petrol engine on the V60 from those years.

[@ScrewyS]

I have a 2015.5 V60 T5 AWD Platinum Edition. I love it except it had the oil consumption issue diagnosed at 107,xxx miles, it burned 3 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles (I have the 2.5 L turbo). Paid close to $4000 to fix it and Volvo then sent a letter out later stating reimbursement for oil consumption issues up to 100,000 miles. I sent a submittal and was denied due to being diagnosed 7,xxx miles over. I want another wagon, but won't be getting another Volvo.

[@elisicamost5959]

7000 is a lot of miles. Some people drive that in a year.

[@ScrewyS]

My oil consumption issue returned and Volvo denied their Lifetime Warranty & Labor clause due to high mileage. I had about 207,000 miles on it. It burns about a half quart, at most, every 1000 miles now. 7,000 miles, I meant I had 107,xxx miles when I asked for the free fix, but it was for vehicles with 100k miles or less, so I had to pay for it due to being 7,xxx miles over the limit.

[@elisicamost5959]

@ScrewyS generally, cars last around 150k to 200k... engines even less. Was the problem not fully corrected the 1st time or it's simply wear and tear over time? What is your opinion?

[@ScrewyS]

@@elisicamost5959 I always drive my car usually until it dies. My last car, a 2005 Acura TL lasted me until 250k miles with no issues, besides normal things. My mechanic thinks it could have gone over 400k. My sister's 2000 Honda Accord almost made 300k miles, but a cylinder head failed. I just think Volvo cheaped out on the design of the engine, causing oil consumption. It's a known issue with these engines. I believe the "fix" is just isn't correct and just a band-aid since most owners don't drive as many miles as I do. I'm just going to keep adding oil until I decide it's time to trade it in for a Toyota/Honda product.

[@larsvegas1505]

estate cars drive better on the motorway.. biggest reason people get one.. ur safer and driving fast feels kinda slower.. 9-10 times people travel alone anyways but if ur doing a lot of miles u dont want it to be in a fiat 500..

[@winandd8649]

Does the UK only have the diesel variants of the V60? Weird, in NL no one wants to drive a diesel anymore because of very high road tax and expensive emission fines. Second hand diesels are really dirt cheap here. @2:18 Must be about 2m, not 3m I presume? (edit; looked it up and it's 1.75m..)

[@gavinferguson]

mine is a 2017 d3 150 cross country 8speed and very happy with it.

[@rickywinthrop]

2015 v60 t6 rdesign (i6 engine) is my secret sports car. Beautiful and fast machine . Plus: no touchscreen!!

[@MrSunnyBhoy]

Great and in depth review

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

thank you!

[@SchenkerBaldonnell]

I wish I seen a test of ground clearance test with passengers in the car and maybe some weight in the boot as well and all that over the speed bumps and ramps in UK

[@problemslayer3538]

So what year did they start using volvo only engines

[@arniewheeler4673]

you have not mentioned the T4 petrol 2.0ltr turbo

[@18_rabbit]

this was recorded long ago (?) presumably, before the 4 cyl petrol engine was released way back in '15?? it's thus confusing...

[@AddeStensfors]

Thank's god I got me one two weeks ago 🙂

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Jesus is Lord!

[@DanPlimmer]

The 1.6 diesel engines are from Peugeot not Ford. Had one in my v50 👍

[@tug1345]

This man needs to do some homework, he keeps saying the D3 is a Ford engine, it's not, it's a Volvo 5 cylinder 2.0 , it's a actually a good halfway point between the D2 Ford/PSA engine and the new D4

[@gigabyte2573]

Volvo badging can be very confusing, I have a Volvo C70II (2011) named as a D4 but in fact it has a 2-litre 5-cylinder diesel engine (177bhp) spoke to a car mechanic only yesterday and he thought it was a 4-cylinder, when I told him it was a 5-cylinder he was quite shocked lol.

[@problemslayer3538]

I think it's you that needs to do some homework. He said the 1st version of the V60 was a ford engine. Not these later versions.

[@tug1345]

@problemslayer3538 The 1st Volvo V60 D3 was a 2.0 5 cylinder 163 bhp Volvo engine nothing to do with Ford

[@tug1345]

@gigabyte2573 the C30,C70,S40,V50 all got the 5 cylinder engine in lower rates of tune in about 2009 this was to replace the Peugeot/Ford 2.0 diesel they used to use, the old engine was always badged 2.0d whereas the Volvo engines that replaced it were badged D3 and D4, and the D5 got a power increase

[@problemslayer3538]

@@tug1345 he wasn't talking about the d3. He was talking about the standard 2.0 diesel in the 1st generation.

[@lonehunter13]

Volvo is no longer a swedish brand!

[@johnsymons6862]

So what is the difference between the v60 and v70?

[@CJG338]

v70 has diffrent interior, longer, boxier

[@blarkdexture8899]

Size

[@NilsHedstrom]

Like people menitoned before size. I have a V60 and my frined has a V70 and standing next to each other they are about as big. But the V70 is slightly longe and much boxier. The v60 has a more "sporty" design but less space for loading in the trunk. For me it's more than enough though, I usually fit everything i need.

[@fb3824]

"Engine internal friction reduction." Sounds like low tension piston rings...

[@kevinjamesparr552]
