Love it I have a 2005 VOLVO S60 T5 6 SPEED SPACEBALL MANUAL AND 260 BHP ❤

[@PhilDykshoorn]

Love those old school v70 Volvo -- l still own my daily driver, 2003 v70. Now almost a classic because one sees fewer and fewer of these on the road.

[@hiulee20]

That 2.5 liter engine sounds amazing.

[@Pilikestortoises]

Sounds like a baby Viper

[@robbeyhernandez8015]

Love V70Rs. I was lucky enough to find one in Sonic blue

[@REVlogue]

Congratulations that's a beautiful color.

[@rallipete]

Whenever i hear that engine and skid sound it sends shivers down my spine, its just so good

[@emilyherman4772]

I own a 6speed r similar to this, they are very interesting cars and no one gives it a second glance unless they are in the know. Great cars for what they are and the 6speed cars are incredibly rare. Most of them came with automatics.

[@REVlogue]

I completely agree! If you can find one, they are one of the best bang for the buck. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@jasonclark4611]

I’ve always loved how you can catch most muscle cars napping at the stoplights. The conversations at the next intersections are always a laugh 😂

The 6 speeds are not rare at all.

[@emilyherman4772]

@ Less than 1000 total, is rare. The 6 speed in the s60r is much more common, but the total number of V70r is less 4000, which makes them rare.

[@MM-vv8mt]

I love my '05 R and its 325 hp engine, 6-spd manual trans and the tunable suspension. Bright red paint job and tan leather heated seats. Just replaced the turbo and fuel injectors at 175k. It screams!

[@EDHBlvd]

The suspension tuning was done with Monroe (who manufactures the shocks for Volvo). Not Ohlins. Ohlins only came in with the S60/V60 Polestars.

[@REVlogue]

Thanks for the tidbit! I did find this document suggesting that they both worked on it (hardware is for sure Monroe) www.media.volvocars.com/global/en-gb/media/pressreleases/5196 Thanks for checking out the video!

[@D-man9000]

Ohlins designed the suspension. Monroe manufactured it.

PROUD OWNER OF A V70-R STAGE 3 TUNED MYSELF AND IT GOES 298 GPS KM/H > IT'S PORN‼️🥵🥵🥵

[@Viscosity-cb3xl]

These fly under the radar in Australia and very rare. They are a bargain for people who want a big comfortable powerful sports wagon. Bmw and Mercedes should be last on the list in comparison

[@worldhello1234]

@0:23 The fact that the V70R is more foolproof than most is a bonus. Performance cars suffer from increased wear and tear. The V70R is no exception.

[@REVlogue]

maintaining an older car is an art form in its own for sure 👌

[@BigSaulo]

I got a vw mk7 sportwagen that had been modded, having a gti turbo being one of those mods. I would love to have a manual v70r is I didn't have my sportwagen.

[@REVlogue]

It's a pretty special car. Inline 5 sound is intoxicating for sure, but the VWs are also pretty cool!

[@yankodimitrov5246]

Doesn't Monroe make the suspension for these?

[@REVlogue]

I believe so yes. I don't remember off the top of my head but I remember the owner mentioning it. EDIT: So confirmed. Made by Monroe, developed by Öhlins.

[@EDHBlvd]

REVlogue Show me where you found they were developed by Ohlins. Everything I’ve read is it was Monroe and Volvo.

I just replaced my OEM with Monroe. Work great!

[@surfn-]

Those look like firehawk Indy 500 tires. I have the same ones on my V70R - good price for sticky.

[@REVlogue]

You sir are correct. They're actually Bridgestones in Japan and are totally underrated in my opinion.

[@jasonclark4611]

Ha, yes 500 tires, they do well here in SoCal year round 😁

[@tobiaslundin1728]

if you want to get the best sound from that engien, you should build a 2.5 inch exhaust system all the way from the turbo

[@REVlogue]

I think the owner later added on some more fun mods 😉

[@stephenross4333]

I've got a 2012 Audi S4. Bought new, ordered it from the factory with manual 6 spd. It's getting harder and harder to find performance cars with a stick, but what manufacturers don't understand is that it's more FUN to drive a stick. Even in big city bumper to bumper traffic, I'd rather have a manual. Otherwise it's just sleep driving....

[@REVlogue]

It's so funny, I agree. I rather be more involved in driving with the stick, even in bumper to bumper traffic, because I can control exactly how much the car rolls, etc.

[@lcb4082]

what rims are those that you are running id love to get them for my s60r

[@REVlogue]

I am told that those are 18" Volvo Nebula w 12mm spacers off of a S60. Not S60R. Feel free to check out @blueyedesigner for more photos :)

[@Ghostblaze1]

Heard these things are a maintenance nightmare

[@stephenross4333]

How'd you get the manual transmission? I thought none in the US got the 6 spd. Or is the 1997-1999 V70Rs that only came with automatics?

[@REVlogue]

Very very select few had the manual I believe.

[@Rome1017Lights]

There's about 3-400 wagons that came in manual if I remember correctly

[@MM-vv8mt]

I own one. 2005.

Nice car unfortunately we dont have R and manual. What country are you in

REVlogue hell yeah. Till I found my friend that owned the same R wagon in your video with the m66. And two s60R’s. Right now I just got full 3” turbo back exhaust riding on 17” with bc coils. Last 3 things I need to do is turbo swap with fmic and shimmed block.
