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

@@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.

Hi. I have a 2006 Volvo S60 2.0 T5 and I like the Alpine music system you installed. Do you think it would work on my S60 and if so can you provide me with the model number or online link to purchase one? I am hoping to upgrade to a more contemporary system soon. TIA.
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
Now that really depends, this S60R is my first car but you must practice your due diligence otherwise it’ll bite you. Be careful out there when it comes to searching for one but that aside they’re great. -NK
I have 2001 S60 2.4i N/A Manual. That car design, comfort and engine performance for daily drive very good. Happy

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
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

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

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
Hi from Mexico really really nice video. I have an s60 2.4 T5 260hp.
What transmission? -NK

I love S60R manual..... unfortunately don't have in Thailand..... now I owned V70 p2 year 2004
Very nice! My family happens to have one too, 2.4 non turbo, what engine do you have?
@@motiverebuilds3524 B5254T 2.5 Turbo v70 p2 not R
@@motiverebuilds3524 how much s60R manual used car in USA ?
I go over this near the end of the video. I got a pretty good deal on mine, got it for 10k USD.
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.
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

I'm on my second S60R. Lmk if you have questions
Should I buy one as a first car
