Is This the Best Sports Car Volvo Ever Made? | Volvo S60R

Enjoy this walkaround tour of my Volvo S60R. One of Volvo's most bold attempts at a true sports sedan. This particular car is one of the most sought after S60R combinations. You'd never expect this car to be fast, as it really flies under the radar, but it will definitely upset some cars.

My S60 R is now 20 years old and has 342000 miles on the clock. She still runs as good as the day I drove her from the dealers. Best car I have ever owned other than my XC90 which now has 560000 miles on the clock.. Best cars ever.

[@rogercamp2910]

One alternator and 2 batteries. Yes it's a manual.

[@magnus122]

@@rogercamp2910 I assume it's stock? If so how bad is the maintenance on one of these if you daily drive it? From what I've heard it will never leave you stranded but it has these small issues that needs to dealt with somewhat often - how has yours treated you?

Very nice car man. Coolest Volvo I've seen. Well modded. Seats are awesome and so are the colors. I recall sitting in them at an auto show back in the day. Watch those delrin bushings. I've noticed they will loosen up and rattle. Love 5 cylinders!

[@christians.cars98]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! One of my favorite cars for sure! 5 cylinders sure make an amazing sound!

[@michaelstrongbow2336]

Timing belt kits, PCV box/hoses are the most important things to keep up on these I5 Volvo motors. Change the oil pump seals and green paper gasket while you do the timing kit, sense your in there. I have 3-Volvo I5's, one jumped its timing, so I got some work this summer. Also, I recently got a letter from Volvo saying that my 2002 S60's steering wheel air bag canister explodes when activated now, after so many years. And they will fix it for free, something you may want to look into. I absolutely love these cars. I'm very PeanutButter and jealous of your baby right now.

[@christians.cars98]

I agree! I put in a new PCV box/hoses recently on this car! Oh man you'll have some fun pulling apart you engine this summer good luck! 😊 I got that letter as well! I had another very rare S60R that sadly I got T-boned in and am glad I was able to walk away unharmed without a face full of metal 😂 Thank you for the love! 😏

I own a 2001 S80 T6 2.8L twin turbo that has every option you could get in Australia and it has been the best car I've ever bought. Lol even the gearbox hasn't stuffed up so far. I love Volvo's so much, the most comfortable car I've even own and has more power than all the V8s that came out back in 2001. Never going to it.

[@IwillBwaiting]

Had to come back to this video. Watched it in the past but then I still had my '05 2.5t, black sapphire (452) with standard leather interior but matched the colour of the atacama! A few cars here (the Netherlands) were done straight after factory by a dealership I believe. It was a momentum model which is basic and comes standard with grey cloth interior. I now own a '09 2.5t in the magic blue like yours with a cream interior so it has the light creme all around, a darker tan in places and with wood trim. It looks royal! I remembered you have the gold rims and just had to have another look. I own a set of OEM Andromeda wheels (16inch) which I use in the summer, which were for the boxy 960/S90 models back in the late 90's but fit the car nice. When I bought this car it came with OEM Orpheus (17inch) but I decided to put winter tires on them since I do not like the sporty look of so many spokes (taste is personal). I am now thinking of painting them into a satin bronze, so a little darker than yours but bright enough to see that it is not black and dark enough to see it is not that golden/bronze. You are spot on with the colour, it looks amazing at times. I am not much of a tuner or modificator but small things can do a lot. My only thing change to the car will be a film (2 layers) of transparant yellow (our plates are a yukkie yellow in my country and I wanted a more complete look) over the fog lights and replace the standard bulbs in the headlights with new LED or 8k (the standard ones now look a bit faded/orange and take a way the appeal of the front). This car has xenon so I mean the tiny bulbs next to it, in the middle of the unit. I also noticed your flakey strips between the roof and doors. I think it is a factory flaw since all have it and I had mine redone a while ago. I believe Volvo stopped selling them as I couldn't find any online and it is a shame since the incorperated rubber, near the front, is becoming very fragile. I really think they either had clogged up sprayers or the sprayers were at the wrong angle in the factory since I came across many which have this problem.

[@robertofranco7889]

got an 04 S60 2,4 with a chip tune doing 200hp in Cypress Green Metallic, my dad bought it from new and it got passed down to me when i turned 18. really love the car, not only is it great but ofc also holds a good amount of mental value since i sat on the backseat of it when i was a kid :)

[@wil_mil_man]

Awesome 👍! Quick question on your 04! Do you know which "Chip" you installed?? I have an 04 S60 2.4 also 198k but since I've owned it, a year now! I did the "Paint Thinner" in the gas mainly to see if would clean the Catalytic converter like guy's on YT we're saying! Honestly, was a little Leary , but I didn't want to replace it.. anyway since I did that two months ago.. this car has come alive!! Acceleration is way more smoother, and even shift's smoother also! She wants to jump everytime I start at a light...

It's definitley a love hate relationship with these cars. The small things that go wrong are definitely the biggest annoyance of these cars. Sorry to hear about your experience with your car! Hopefully one day you'll get a better taste in your mouth with Volvo 😊

@@christians.cars98 I have owned a a 164E, 3 242 GTs, a couple 244s, a half dozen 245s and the S60R and would sure look at a Polestar in the future. With the exception of the Polestar all were wanting in the reliability area but enjoyed them nonetheless.

Hey awesome car I have 2004 and I love it too but I have to get racket pinion bar changed have you had this problem too?

[@winnington23]

Nice car/interior package! I like the rims too! The only thing I hate about P2's is the turning radius. It's absolute garbage. I went back to a P80 (S70 T5) 😄.

[@christians.cars98]

Thank you! Thats one thing I absolutely hate as well! 😂 but thats sadly the only option if you want the AWD 😂

[@winnington23]

@@christians.cars98 Agreed, that's a small price to pay for the P2R package. '98 V70R has AWD though, admittedly that's an expensive endeavor these days and you gotta go to the wagon. But i loved my S60 the AWD is pretty nice for MN winters. but the boxy Volvos is where my heart lies! Cheers and thanks for the video!

[@christians.cars98]

@@winnington23 My dad has a 98 V70R! I love the look of the P80 V70R's but honestly I hate the look of the P2 V70R's, just something about the curvy front and body and then a blocky rear end, doesn't match and I hate the look. The AWD sure is nice though in the snow! Thanks again for the comments and support! Any cars you'd like me to try and do some videos of?

[@afonsopinheiro2222]

What shift knob is that? Love the look. Did you have to thread the shifter? Thank you

[@christians.cars98]

It's just a weighted one I found on amazon! Yes you'll have to thread the shifter, but it's definitely worth it!

[@TheRedchris4]

I love Volvos of all kind my first one was a s40 i then bought a 2007 s60r and now i have a 2000 v70r. BTW the gauges on the 04 through 07 were made or designed by a sweetish watch maker that's why they look like a watch face.

[@christians.cars98]

That makes sense! I knew they had to have some sort of watch connection or something!

Im about to buy a volvo s60 t5, it's automatic. I like comfort but wanted something faster than my s70 2.4

[@christians.cars98]

The T5 is the way to go! You can get some great power out of a T5!

[@KolyanKolyanitch]

I wish I had that engine in my C30. But B5254T3 sounds same at least. And smaller tune potential is still enough for lighter car.

[@christians.cars98]

Thats still a good engine!

[@T5_T-Rell]

Stock on stock factory the S60R takes the cake due to having more features, slightly better looks, more power, and awd, but when it comes to a better car to mod the 05-09 s60 T5 is better all day. Drivetrain is more solid, has less electronics and weak points, and can handle more power without having to reinforce the block.

[@christians.cars98]

100% agree! I love the factory aero kit, colors (interior and exterior), awd, added features and more importantly the rarity and uniqueness of the R cars. I always said if the car ever needed a new engine and I was going to add more power to it, I'd put in a T5 all day every day. But I need to have the magic blue and atacama interior 🤤😍

[@JuanRodriguez-ug5jm]

Word 👌

[@greenhometony]

So as a volvo owner myself you guys should explain what the differences are between the 5 cylinder in your R and the 5 cylinder in the S60 T5? I can look it up I suppose but I would like to hear it from you guys✌ post 05 my 2.4L narrowed bore is that it?? I guess he did specify 05 - 09.....

[@T5_T-Rell]

@@greenhometony I have an entire video on my channel going over why the engine in the 06-09 s60 T5 is the best Volvo 5 cylinder made for tuning and modifying in stock form without having to be built. It’s the most watched video on my channel. But the two engines are 100% identical with the exception of the engine in the R comes with bigger injectors from factory , a bigger bore on the block resulting in thinner cylinder walls, and all R’s have a oil level sensor on the oil pan while only some of the T5s came with one. Other than that they’re identical: cams, exhaust manifold, turbo, head, crank, rods, etc.

[@MrQuantom]

@@T5_T-Rell wrong on Turbo.. the R's have a different turbo, they're 300hp, whereas the T5 = 250hp

Ever time I see these cars, I like the way they look. I always image LS or 2JZ swapping them.

The parts are available, FCPEuro is a good place for Euro cars. They are more complex to work on than like a Toyota, but I'd say not too difficult!

[@fredericoalmeida5473]

Nice car. But you have to try the 2017 V60 Polestar and then i am sure you will change your opinion about the best Volvo sports car.

I have one on my radar! I've driven a V60 Polestar very briefly and it was incredible! My mind might be changed when I get more time with one! 😊

[@nareemango7354]

The car looks perfect. May i know what is the offset of your wheels and the width of it. Im the owner of T5 07 with 17inch wheels and i had a plan to switch to 18inch 8jj but im not sure what is the best offset number for the wheels that fit for big brake kit, is it gonna be et40 or et38 or et35. Im really confused and i really need helps. TQ

[@christians.cars98]

These are 19x8.5 wheels with +45 offset. The stock Pegasus S60R Wheels are 18x8 +46 offset. So if your're doing a bigger brake kit I would try to stick around that offset! If you're ordering the wheels online (or doing research for the wheels you want) lots of sites online will tell you if the wheels will fit your car or not! If you do that, I'd just put that you have an S60R instead of the T5 since the R models have bigger brakes as standard, then you'll know if the wheels you're looking at will fit!

[@dozerdave]

Interior is called attacama btw for those of you who are wondering

I have the same exact car and want to lower it...so did you replace the shocks with the OEM ones and just added lowering springs?

Yep exactly! I got all new struts from FCP Euro and ordered some Eibach lowering springs from them as well. Then just put the whole new setup on the car 😊
