►If you're in the market for a P3 Volvo S60 or V60, knowing what to look out for before buying is only one part of the whole process. Knowing what a car is like to live with is one of the most difficult things to judge because it can't be answered in a twenty-minute test drive.
Come along for a ride as Adam Goral, FCP Euro's Volvo Catalog Manager, and Jacob Maller, FCP Euro's resident Volvo enthusiast, take a drive in Adam's very own P3 Volvo V60. Jacob and Adam discuss their car buying process, issues this particular V60 has had, annoyances, and simply what it's like to daily drive a Volvo P3.

Beechwood probably refers to wood from the beech tree, rather than driftwood found on a beach.

The blower motor can be fixed in about five minutes with a spritz of lubricant from the cowl side under the wipers. Look it up, many instructions on KZfaq and elsewhere. Lasts for years, then redo.

These seats are amazing but previous generation had also very comfortable seats- loved these semi leather- in my opinion you can complain about some thing in Volvo cars but you can't say bad word about seats. I do trips 423 miles long every month without any stops and I leave a car without any pain. There is one thing to S60/V60 worth noting, driving position is quite high so if you like to sit closer to the ground like in BMW then you can be disappointed about how low you can go. I have ocean race package with 18" rims and I also went for standard profile tyres and changed to 235/45R18 XL. So for anyone wondering if they can fit I have none problems. I also had problem with bent rims but it might because of low profile tyres or how previous owner driven.

I bought a CPO 2015.5 V60 T5 Cross Country just over 2 years ago to replace my '07 SAAB 9-5 SportCombi. I love the V60 but I miss my Saab and will get another 9-5 as a weekend car one day. I got the Cross Country because I wanted the extra ride height and thought the grill was more aesthetic. The legacy 5 cylinder engine was a must as well & MPG wasn't a big deal stepping out of a 9-5. I average 23+ MPG though my husband can achieve over 25 MPG when he drives it loll LOVE how the engine sounds on a cold start and love it almost as much as the 2.3T 4 cylinder in my Saab. Only had a few issues replaced under warranty, gears stripped in drivers side mirror - wouldn't fold in/out, EVAP leak detection pump assembly, & the backlit window switches in drivers door started to go dark button by button until the whole unit would no longer be illuminated at night. Just discovered the height adjustable passenger side seat belt will no longer go up or down & need to get it looked at before my warranty expires in June. Just replaced my tires with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 and love them so far! It is hard to keep this car under 90 MPH on the highway!! I plan on keeping this car for a very long time. My husband custom ordered a XC60 B5 AWD with wool seats and Bowers & Wilkins audio. It should be here any week now!! My next car will be electric.....maybe a Polestar??

Good walkthrough of the V60. Found a base model 2016 (only option is keyless start) with 19k. Was curious to see if I was missing out on other options and it sounds like even with the better suspension and wheels you have to live with a harsher ride. I personally think the base 17s with the stock suspension is already a bit on the firm side, but I’m just used to floaty cars!
@fcpeuro
@fcpeuro 2 жыл бұрын
Base with the 17s will definitely ride smoother! It really depends on your style of driving, most drivers don't need the sport suspension, especially if you have some rough roads near you. But even the non-sport suspension will handle corners quite well!

you may have already bought your nice P3 by now, just wanted to add my fresh thoughts on the ride comfort. I used the P2 S80 for 10.5 yrs and recently switched to a V60 mk1 with 18 wheels, and ehh.. it turned out to be a tradeoff.. NVH is noticeably worse in this newer car (especially in the rear seats - my passangers complained haha) and you don't feel that indestructible monolithic Volvo sorrunding. Some of this may have to do sthg with the wagon vs sedan chassis, but I also feel that there was less attention/money spent in this area on the newer car.. anyway.. I wanted to drive something newer (but still not a 2.0 VEA version) so I made my move. enjoy your Volvo!

Is there anyone in the comments here who have owned a p3 v70 and a v60 that could tell me how they compare in terms of comfort (like road bumps, noise etc..) and driveability, id imagine the v60 feels more sportier. I currently own a 2012 xc60 with the d3 twin turbo engine and it is an absolute riot to drive since it also has a stage 2 tune but it is by far the most uncomfortable ride of all the volvos ive owned, every single imperfection let alone bump in the road really "rackets" the car about, in comparison to the 2011 s80 i had the chance to drive for about 10 minutes, that thing absorbed bumps without issue and barely had any road noise with 17" wheels. Id like to get a p3 v70 next but im also eyeing the v60 since it's a tad smaller and i live alone so the v70 would be a bit needlessly large but if the v70 is as premium feeling as the p2 gen v70 then id be inclined to go with that. My xc60 feels like a tin can when closing the doors, it has that ugly echoey sound to it which the p2 v70 didnt.

I wonder if it's some transmission issue, on my old Buick, sometimes it would start shifting rough, but after turning off the car it would fix itself for a while. And other days the transmission was just fine . Also my current P2 has some shifting issues from poor transmission maintenance, but no error codes come up on the OBD2 reader and there's no check engine light. (maybe you need a special Volvo tool to see those error codes?)

I own a 2015 s60 t6 w/ the R design package which came with a slight engine and suspension tune from polestar, but I have driven both the base t6 and 2.0 and 2.5, and i have to say that the t6 is a massive leap from the 4 and 5 cyl in terms of refinement and of course performance. My opinion could be slightly biased, lol, but Like i said; I have driven all the Volvo engines and the base and tuned t6 is the best for these models. I'm glad to hear that volvo's legendary safety rep was proved in your case! Btw I just put an intake and catless downpipe on my car, and holy crap does it sound great, if you'd be interested in any sort of mods on the car.

I have a 2015 v60 t6 r design with the 3.0 and it’s by far the best way to go. The 2.0 is just way under powered and the just to the 3.0 is slight with a massive performance jump. In my opinion the t6 Polestar is still way expensive but either way, you should most definitely get a 2015 or 2016 with the inline 6 cylinder. I have put over 30k miles on it in the last 2 years and never once had a single issue. Stay on top of maintenance and this car will treat you well.

My volvo s60 t4 2.0 L 190 hp 2016 has a high oil consumption... Around 1 liter every 4,000 km... Dealer says all is fine, no leaks, no emissions haha... Is this related to the piston rings?
@KarlstadDrums
@KarlstadDrums Жыл бұрын
Not sure how much it’s suposed to burn. I have a 2014 T4f 1.6 liter so slightly different engine but I don’t drive very much. But the piston rings only seems to be a known problem on the VEA 181HP D4 engines(2014-16 i think) so you should be fine!

How many miles are on your car? Does it smoke when running? Have you replaced the pcv box or cleaned it? How much of a difference in compression is there between the cylinders?

@@thatsonebadhatharry8610 145k ive not noticed it smoking just running but at certain speeds when turbo kicks in it would. It currently runs rough in limp mode only. Cylinder 3 has zero compression the others vary slightly. Yes I did replace the pcv box once not many miles ago.

@@getlostinit3D Sounds like you need a rebuild or replacement. Zero compression is either a very bad set of rings, a broken piston, or burnt / broken valve. I wouldn't drive it until it gets fixed.

One thing I know is volvo suck. So expensive to repair. They charge you like it's a Lamborghini for Pete sake. The repairs are so expensive you could buy that car twice because of that. I hate these things so much. They are loud from road noise, wind, clunky, jerky, rattle in bumps so on.
