I enjoyed the simplicity of the video, i also have an 04 Volvo 2.5t. it wasn't maintained well when i got it, now it's mostly fine with some quirks

I have 2001 S60 2.4i N/A Manual. That car design, comfort and engine performance for daily drive very good. Happy

The best engine and transmission combo for reliability. My family has a 2004 V70 with the 2.4i though it has the AW-55 clunk o matic instead of the M56 manual. The fuel economy of that engine surprises me. -NK

My man… you need to get those struts figured out and it’ll be much improved!

Hah! Perfect timing, I just got my full set of 4 in. Got the front set for an absolute steal. Stay tuned, it’s gonna be fun. -NK

Nice. I also have a 2004 R manual. You pretty much nailed the description. These cars can be expensive to run, mine is no exception.

Yep indeed. There is absolutely no shortcutting on these cars. I've seen it done and nothing good comes out of it. What color combo is your car? -NK

@@motiverebuilds3524 Titanium with Nordkapp interior. I’ve had it for about seven years and it was a bit rough when I bought it. It was comparatively cheap though at about $3000 US so problems were expected.

@motiverebuilds3524 3 ай бұрын

I am of the unpopular belief that Nordkap is the best interior color for these cars, Gobi and Atacama don't really wear all that well. -NK

@@motiverebuilds3524 Nordkap is certainly the classiest plus it goes well with all the body colours. The orange works with a few colours but otherwise is too gaudy. The other colour is too bland.

Hit the nail right on the head! One friend of mine still wishes I went with Atacama, but I've seen what happens when it wears and it's not pretty. -NK

I go over this near the end of the video. I got a pretty good deal on mine, got it for 10k USD.

@motiverebuilds3524 3 ай бұрын

Great engine still! Could throw on a bigger turbo and make it a fake T5. 4T4s are a little more expensive to maintain than just the plain 2.5T also.

thinking about buying one as a daily would you recommend it?

I explain this near the end of the video, but put simply, you should be pretty handy and be able to stay on top of the maintenance. It’s no BMW or Audi but if you let it get bad, you’ll open a can of worms. What transmission and color combo? -NK
