@@exileatsushi7165 We bought our volvo V60 in a manual gearbox it's a pure joy we tested it before buying it in an automatic gearbox if you are looking for freedom and pushed in the engine when you want do not take the automatic transmission afterwards if you are looking for comfort, it's a good idea

The manual gearbox isn’t for you, either get a automatic or learn how to properly drive a manual. I’ve never seen anything like this before. Gear 1 in about 30km/h, this is insane!!

[@shaheenfly]

Watch your RPM. Isn't it way to high? Why don't you use higher gear for higher speed?

[@charsiubau1]

Actually this is a diesel vehicle. Depends on the terrain and traffic it can be tricky to remain in same gear (albeit high rpm) or change to next gear but a bit too low rpm.

[@trainman665]

@@charsiubau1 Diesel engines actually perform better at lower RPMs.

[@Raphael_le_avec]

Volvo need rpm below 3000rpm the car loses power and has a little more trouble accelerating....on the other hand what I like is that we manage to stop in 3rd and resume on short distance in 3rd and if we are careful we manage to brake up to 25kmh and resume in 3rd

[@karlkon2071]

@@charsiubau1 wtf, gas engines are supposed to be driven at higher rpms, diesels are NOT supposed to be driven like that. Under 2000 rpm is good

[@anfahrt]

Ik vind dit prachtige wagens! Ik denk dat de handgeschakelde bak de beste combinatie is met deze D3 motor. Een automaat vreet teveel vermogen weg en de Volvo handbakken schakelen altijd erg fijn met korte en precieze schakelwegen.

[@Raphael_le_avec]

einen zu haben ja der D3-Motor mit dem Schaltgetriebe ist pures Glück das einzige was ich zu bemängeln habe ist der ziemlich harte Schalthebel

[@tobbe5189]

I dont understand why anyone would spec out a car like this with a manual. Its made to be a commuter and family car so i cant imagine anyone wanting to drive a manual over long distances compared to auto. great vid btw

[@kemdom]

I've recently bought a used V60 D4 with the 6-speed manual. My reasons are simple: - the manual has a lower maintenance cost and is generally more reliable; - I mostly (75%) use it for motorway driving, where I use the 6th gear for 95% of the way; - The 8-speed "geartronic" auto is one of the worst programmed transmissions for dynamic driving (slow kickdown at overtaking, indecisive gear selection when pulling out at a junction, slow shifts even in manual mode) - I enjoy manually shifting gears :) If I was a city driver, and had to shift 80-140 times in stop-and-go downtown traffic during my commute, I would sure get the auto, but it just does not make sense for my travel situation. :)

[@DerUngarischeKitsune]

Many family combis have manual transmission though, and a lot use it for long distances as well

[@kemdom]

​​@@DerUngarischeKitsune it makes even more sense for long distance driving. You get up to highway speed, put it in 6th and you're done. I don't know where the original commenter got his ideas, but auto is really only useful for city driving, stop-and-go traffic - especially cause i can downshift quicker than the 8AT kickdown in the SPA Volvos. :D

[@DerUngarischeKitsune]

@@kemdom yeah I agree. I too drive a manual, and would never want to switch for an auto, because its less fun and expensive.

[@jetthicks6658]

The V90/S90 came first, and was only available with manual for a couple of years in Sweden/Norway, then they realized people wanted automatic so they stopped producing manual cars, and no manual S60

[@xnopyt13]

@@jetthicks6658 interesting, newer Volvos are always automatic in the US. And there actually were manual V60s made, at least for 2019 models, but the S60 didn’t get it.

[@화안-s3g]

As far as I know, V90/S90 had manual option only on diesel version and so does V60. However S60 never came with diesel. That‘s why S60 is only available with automatic. Currently volvo no longer makes diesel and manual, and the XC40 was the last vehicle with a manual option

When you see a guy rolling around with 38 km/h in 2nd gear in a dieselcar, you just know that this guy, does not even have a clue on, how to drive a car. :D You shifted up to 3rd for like 2 seconds, and then back? You could easily have shifted from 2nd to 4th, and stayed there and leave the gaspedal.. The torque could easily have done the pull for you. But okay, you demonstrated how NOT TO drive a dieselcar. You drove it like it was a Honda Civic VTEC from the 90's. :D
