Steamed Volvo

Hi Super Nintendo Chalmers!

HEELLLLLLPP!! HEELLLLLLPPP!

People may call Volvo boring, but they are reliable, incredibly safe and do everything you could possibly need

@@pluemas agreed all the sleeper status you'll ever need

I have one of the V8's; one of the most understated cars around.

Scruff McFluff “I don’t know why people call it boring, when all they are is boring quality” Boredom or lack thereof isn’t about quality, it’s about novelty and fun, of which this car has none.

Underrated maybe in America. But here in Finland if you are looking at buying a upper class sedan or wagon volvo is usually the top choice for almost everyone

I had an 2008 V70 Turbo. It was much more than oatmeal

@@edb3366 Turbo is like a dose of meth added to Volvo plain oatmeal! Had a S70 GLT before current Volvos.

The interior is nice. It looks comfy like a bmw. I love tan / creme interiors.

The fact that it's a wagon makes it 100 times cooler

My dad had an S70 with no turbo. Was basically a black licorice Werther's on wheels.

That's not true.. If you live in an area with changing weather (I'm from Romania where we get 4 seasons with significant differences), tan makes a lot of sense. I'd order a brand-new car tan, if I had the money. It's not all white so you can avoid cooking in it in summer but have to suffer seeing any dirt on it, and it's not silver or black to look somewhat good when it's dirty but have to suffer in it in heat. Mud and dust aren't as noticeable on a tan car, and if you want to be low-key, you'll be equally stealthy in one. It all depends on what you want your car to be.

It's oyster grey! lol

It's actually Caper Green

I was handed down a "champagne" coloured car at one point on my life. And yes, it was a Buick, because really, do Buicks come in any other colour than different shades of beige?

I'd be very happy with a tan car. Millions of people bought them before we all became brainwashed into thinking gray was more exciting.

Combined with the obnoxious leds?

don't forget the bullet casing valve stem covers

I choose to believe they're a pullover preventor

The i will bootlick before i shell out $69.99 for a radar detector from autozone

@@klear19634 yeah.. The driver is probably someone no worse than the rest of us.

The stickers, the horn, and the leds scream police impersonator. Lol

I think that the first Volvo xc90 made since the early 2000s passed the small overlap test too. So 2003 Volvo xc90 is rated good in the small overlap test, because the 2014 model that was tested received the good score and apparently the structure of the car stayed the same throughout the years

I was gonna say the same thing. I have a T6 and it has no problem getting up to speed.

@@jacoballen8327 yup yup debadged my 09 T6 so it’s a bit more discreet, I love waiting for the light to turn green it’s always fun when when nissans, Toyota’s, Honda’s and all different types of cars think it’s a slow vehicle and end up getting left behind.

@@byloecelhigh8467 I just picked up a 2010 turbo 6 s80....I plan to take the turbo emblems off too....Its a quick car...I dont know why this guy makes it sound like its slow...😉

@@jimd2101 brooo! I smacked my car and now I’m in a 07 Sequoia. Take care of your s80 Man! Love it, care for it, I changed my oil every 2 months regardless of miles driven. Motor mounts are an easy replacement. Tire rods, and simple maintenance is a must. Spark plugs. Check the ignition coils for replacement. May be overkill but it felt good catering to my baby. Blacked out tints, debadged, stock stereo was one of the cleanest and loudest I’ve heard, stock dual exhaust. 😍😍😍😍before I could get to it I was going to black out my rims and tint my head/taillights. Ahhhhhhhh I miss my BABY!!!

@@byloecelhigh8467 that's good to hear....I will take care of my s 80.....it seems fast enough for me.....I'm just going to add a K and N air filter as soon as I get a chance.....they make a difference......I have used them on my cars in the past 😁😁😁.....I cant wait to take the turbo emblems off and blow someone away at a stoplight......😆😆😆

Thomas Hill the V8 one is properly badass

I was the same weird kid a generation earlier, the one who wanted a 164. I always liked these very earnest Volvos. There was no pretense to them, just nice, comfy transportation for you and the family.

@@markmiller3279 Still a lot better than anything japanese.

I always liked the "tumble home" style of the S80 with those notched taillights. Battled enough with the I-5 Turbo of my departed Volvo 850. A transverse mounted I-6 sounds horrible for repair work, especially as that hood is not all that wide. I would dump an S80 in the ditch the first time it demanded more than a $500 repair. Awesome seats in any Volvo.

You’re not alone

Some of us here appreciate Mr. Regular diaries. :p

Seymour, Seymour! The Volvo is on fire!!

Yes but he’s got god taste in car. It looks beautiful and reserved.

What led you to that conclusion?

311,000 miles. No problems…

Volvos are the cars everyone makes fun of until you've been in one. Then it's like ok now I get it.

@@tbituner Yeah, it's well made oatmeal, I guess.

@@Goblintom Exactly! I bought my Volvo after a nine-hour road trip in my friend's Volvo. Cool? Nope. But I spent nine straight hours in the backseat of that thing, and I still felt great afterwards. I went right out and bought one myself. I have no regrets. (Except for buying new. The depreciation on new is brutal.)

I was seriously considering making this comment. Glad I'm not Autistic enough to do that though

Breathe out through your fucking nose. No one wants to smell that shit

that is how one is supposed to breathe just while working out

TheZoidberg if a kid grows up inhaling through their mouth especially during sleep their nose will n mouth will be fucked up

@@Steve-vp9dp Apparently not...I turned out ok

Yeah Volvo is Swedish. I'm never sure if Mr. Regular is making an intentional joke or just a factual error lol

Volvo is still making cars. Why do people think they're not around anymore.

Me too, he probably said just to "irritate" people like us. Another alternative is that one of the car's delivery possibilities was in Norway, after all, he said it could be in other EU countries. The problem here is that Norway is not part of the EU. LOL

@@djpmaddog90 Volvo doesn't make cars anymore though. Geely does. Volvo is just a name at this point, a shell of it's former self. Thanks Geely

@@user-sg1lq8qx7g Wrong it is headquartered in Sweden and is a subsidiary of Geely. By your logic Lamborghinis are German. Dodge and Jeeps are Italian. These have parent companies but they try to stick to their brand and traditions. When Volvo was owned by Ford, could you call them an American company?

I tried to hum it but only got the theme from Night Court.

somehow mine turned into don't worry be happy .. idfk

I missed the first three minutes because I was actively trying to remember, after just watching it last night.

No one can sing to Lenny Picket

This is what middle managers buy for themselves when their kids move away from home. "Nooo, its a good car, you see Ive been working my whole life and now with a little extra in my pocket, I deserve some extra space." Its like food with only salt and pepper, or if the owner have tried cilantro he tells everyone. At least they tried to make the headlights streamlined. But not to much! "Nooo, I like it this way, its a good car, it suits me."

Hol up

@Matte this car was manufactured 20 minutes from where I live. Maybe one of my neighbours assembled it :)

Wait.... what does that make the Corolla, then?...

vtr0104 not per definition. Have a good day, say hello to Pennsylvania from me!

Destiny more like

@@thisisntsergio1352 Sweden?

I don't understand why someone would do something like that, only thing I could come up with is laziness

@@Oockeshoek agreed... There holes wich the car maker already has for the original cables in the firewall...

MattheusJohannes Because people who aren't skilled or qualified to do electrical work, on cars, buildings, whatever- simply INSIST on doing it anyway for reasons I just cannot fathom.

@@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney I do electrical work on my car but it would never look like this, I actually insulated all my cables nicely and tucked them along the rest of the loom and then through the firewall at another point. When it got more challenging though I did ask help from a mechanic and he helped me along the way

MattheusJohannes As should anyone with any sense. Electricity is no joke.

There's an improper way? They are polar sensitive so either they work or not at all.

I know right, turn signal resistors arent hard to put on

Most people don’t install resistors and get hyperflash

@@BernonCars I'd have thought that was an issue for modern cars (2006+?) but apparently what my 2G Eclipse has however it's still rocking halogens. It's faster than average ticking but not bulb-is-burned-out fast. That's when it gets annoying.

Nope, older cars too

2010ish infinitis and nissans did it too :(

Might be old version of Bluetooth that can’t handle sound quality bigger than a phone call.

He's tamed over the years to get better marketing.

I fugn died!

Corey P Lexus too

I'm a huge Volvo fan boy and I never liked the D5 it just seems pointless, I find it drinks far too much fuel for too little power gain over the D4 and if you really want a powerful diesel car just get a BMW 530d gets the same kind of economy but makes more power.

D5 or D4 , yea Similar engine, 5cyl diesel (pre 2015

I drive a '98 S40, and yup, can vouch for that

@@dylans9764 Same here lol. Mine is an 03 though.

Love my 09 T6, I fiddled with the EQ levels and it sounds so crisp with enough boom in the bass without distortion or being obnoxious.

I just got one… mint condition… amazing interior and exterior. For $3.5k with 100k miles net after my VW was sideswiped, I couldn’t be happier. Not my pick for a sports car - but how can I complain. The stereo is amazing.

..and this post-menopausal lady got up on the superbar and started queefing on everything

She filled up her snatch with pool water and queef'd on the garbanzo beans

After which she locked herself in the bathroom and hotboxed some meth.

Why? Because VOL VO

Holy shit, I've been watching Regular Car Reviews for 6 and a half years. Where has my life gone?

It's the same finger she gets off with, she just doesn't want anyone to know... Until you take a whiff.

Well at least the engine has likely found a new home on someones speed boat.

@Deez Nuts P3 platform was designed to make every type of body style with and without AWD. Plus safety.

It's based on the Inline-5. The basic engineering was intended to be used in 4, 5, and 6 cylinder variants.

@@stevevarholy2011 Si6 and modular engines are different. The 2.8L inline-6 was the one that the 5-cyl was based on. The 3.2L and 3.0L are Si6 for use by Ford globally.

@@connorPiper0 Excellent. Thank you for the clarification. My knowledge stops at the P2s.

@@stevevarholy2011 Yea, Si6 stands for Short Inline-6 because the 3.2L 6-cyl is shorter than the 2.4 5-cyl. For better fitment in more vehicles and transverse. I think the Land Rover LR2 uses it.

There’s nothing boring about mine - with the same engine

@@BostonCycling_ Well, my perspective may be skewed since I went from a Cadillac CTS-V to the Volvo. Haha. Old car was 0-60 in 4.3 and the XC70 3.2 is like 0-60 eventually. WAAAAY better snow and family car tho so it's all good. I'm happy. :)

ryan leggott you have a gem.

@@Jushwa thank you :)

It's a lux car. Just a very used one.

Lol nice bro saw that and chuckled

Theo Andersen a Volvo? Too left wing for a megachurch pastor. It’s a car a middle-aged couples therapist would use to drive from home to their consulting rooms, while listening to Ira Glass’ nasal enunciations

More like Sunday school coordinator

Bring back saab

Megachurch pastor would be driving something A LOT flashier, think Escalade, Benz, Range Rover. Most likely a JAAAGGGG though.

Ngl I considered scamming with religion 😂😭

Same

I've got one with the Yamaha V8 :D

The village idiot has arrived.

@@LRS905 Hello Village Idiot, how are you?

@@LRS905 Thanks for announcing yourself!

My condolences.

Glam Stachee looooollll

is your favorite action movie called "Notting Hill"?

@C C Because Volvo-fans are weird. I should know because I kinda am one (even though I drive a Fiat because I can't afford a Volvo because the parts cost too much).

probably just because they like the look of it. older volvos are more fun doe since they didnt make a rwd car since 96

Hey, Volvo's are fun. You just have to get the manual ones.

there is no way Volvo is more boring than a Toyota.

this is what lack of sunshine does to a persons mind. Compare with Italian cars and you will see its a bit restricted… at least its rolling (volvo in latin).

Volvo is Latin for _I roll_ FYI

Loved that line. I'd try one of those hammer stapler thingies. It wouldn't work any better, but the splat would be brilliant.

4.4 Yamaha V8 is also a good choice if you really don't give two hoots about fuel consumption.

@@wetlettuce4768 fuel consumption on my T6 09 aren’t that good neither, would’ve rather had a V8, the mileage isn’t too much different if at all than the V8. But the turbo is fantastic!

@@byloecelhigh8467 Funny thing is I'd rather have the T6, but in the UK at least the V8 is more common the only T6s I've seen for sale are retired police cars.

@@wetlettuce4768 interesting. Police cars? That’s awesome. I truly enjoy the sound of a v8. It’s monstrous with a hint of maturity 😅

@@byloecelhigh8467 When I first rolled up to work with the V8 Volvo my co-workers thought it had a broken exhaust and thought I was joking when I said it had a V8.

Thank You!!! Although I own a T6, it handles so damn smooth it feels like I’m floating even at 110 mph. I’m able to get up and go on demand. Wonder why people diss this car so much? It feels mature with the safety aspect above par. Love mine!

Fuck the owner of this car, racist trash piece of shit.

Super-Kami Guru I wouldn’t call him a racist, but it’s def used as a dog whistle

Management is overrated. Better learn some real skills

@@alphatrion100 You're saying that because you have no idea what the management does.

@@tiborklein5349 making dumb decisions while adding nothing to the company mostly

@@alphatrion100 never know which decision is dumb until you try
