Our reviews give you two perspectives. Jakub takes the perspective of the car enthusiast, while Yuri represents the interests of the general consumer. You won't find details about engine compression ratios here, instead you'll have real world opinions on what it's like to drive and own cars. - Авто та транспорт
Volvo should bring back the 5-Cylinder turbo
Lysergic Casserole drop in the Audi 5 cylinder. Turbo and charge it make 500 hp and boom sell lots
2.0turbo supercharged with the 8 speed trans runs much smoother and better acceleration than the 2.5 turbo.
Daniel Kozma only it doesn’t work like that.
the straight 5 and the v8 options would be nice to see again
@@Its-Metz Don't need the V8, it was only available in the s90 and s80 in limited quantities and it came from Yamaha. The straight 6 was plenty powerful and Volvo did a good job of it until they got rid of it.
I find this statement that you mentioned quite a true: Every car guy loves station wagons. I do prefer the looks and practicality of the wagon too.
+Nabil Matar all of my "car guy" friends got extremely excited when I told them I had this car for the week
TheStraightPipes why not compare station wagons while we're at it?
+Nabil Matar oh we will! We've got some ideas already
Big props to the first Volvo reviewers with the cajones to test the pedestrian detection system at live speed.
Hell to the no!!! Im a trust it works until I run somebody over.
cojones papi, cojones......And fuck yeah Yuri has some of those
In the rain too 😰
I don't have money to buy the cars you guys review, but I watch your videos every time
+Miguel Angel Cordon thanks so much!
I have the money to buy these cars but I don't because vehicles are a terrible investment. I watch the show because they're the most American sounding Canadians I've ever watched. Also I'm a Vice President at a tech company and I like how they didn't just assume a CEO would be buying this.
+Matal haha that's the first time we've been called American sounding
+Matal Which Canadian car reviewers do you avoid because they don't sound American?
Miguel Angel Cordon you eventually will just keep at it. And you get these cars cpo or trade in for affordable prices
The best straight forward ,accurate, and amusing car reviews. Good job guys 👍
+Silas thanks! Share the videos :)
I love your video editing and animations that you throw in there. Very cool! I think my all-time favorite is the fast and the furious bit 👍
+Cababah thanks!
I have been binge watching your channel lately and it is amazing. Every review is just on point. I watch a lot of car youtubers and what you have is something unique. Perfect dialogue that doesn't scream scripted, nothing too snobby and no swear words what so ever. I like that. In the words of James may, Every successful show on TV and on internet based media comes down to careful word choice. Words are what keeps an audience hooked. All special effects, videography, locations, etc are secondary. These things are like an Icing on the cake. No matter how good the icing is, if the cake underneath is not good then the people wont come back for the second time. I personally love the rolling beauty shots that you take. I also appreciate the casual opinions. What makes this channel special is that every car guy can relate to how you guys feel about certain aspects of the car. The more amazing bit is that whenever a a viewer doesn't agree, one of you gives an opposing view which keeps the said viewer in the loop. I personally would love to see your opinion on expected reliability, discounts and depreciation on the cars. I know it gets tricky to give a negative opinion on reliability of a car when it comes directly from the automaker's PR dept and that is the reason most channels and shows don't talk about it. I think this is an area if looked into would further make your channel unique.
I hope your channel and business grows and you find more success than you ever wished for.
Regards
Dr. Fahad
+Fahad Khalid thanks for taking the time to write all that. Our dialogue doesn't seem scripted because it isn't, at all. We drive the car for the week and think about our opinions on it. Whatever we say on the day of the review goes. We never voiceover anything because that always has a script and the audio never matches. We can't speak about expected reliability because it's not fair to assess future/current reliability based on the past. Discounts and depreciation vary worldwide, even province / state / city wide. Even when we mention the price, people get upset because our Canadian prices are much different. That's why we focus on what we do. Thanks!
Your reply is highly appreciated. :)
Yes another awesome station wagon from Volvo. Atleast they keep making our favorite performance cars. However I miss their turbo 5-cylinder.
Honestly you guys make these reviews so entertaining. Keep up the awesome work!!!!
+Curtessian what should we review next!
+Curtessian thanks man!
My 2012 STI ;) haha. Maybe a new Camaro ZL1 or a new ZO6.
0:29 was pretty damn cool.
Props to you guys. Always happy to see a video from you.
This is the first video by you that I've watched and I loved it. Great facts, personalities and humour. Keep it up!
+Itson thanks! Watch the rest of them, we've got a bunch :)
You guys have great rapport. It’s a pleasure watching!
Awesome channel and review guys! I aspire to be as good and entertaining as you guys! :)
+Kris Rifa thanks
Daaaaaaanm straight Pipes at it again. Today is a good day.
+Thobtech every Tuesday! And probably some Thursdays coming up as well :)
Hands down best car review channel keep it coming I always enjoy watching your content
Ah, just in time for lunch! Thanks for another incredible video guys! This car is sweet
+Dylan Wodrich no problem! Thanks
Best looking wagon... ever?
If i had to pick out I'd still have a RS6 Allroad, i think it looks a lot meaner.
TheStraightPipes I live on your street and always like to see you in your cars driving down the street I have the Dodge Durango srt 2018
+Dylan_hockey_9 haha awesome!
TheStraightPipes you should review the Dodge Durango srt 2018
Yes best looking wagon ever. 👍
"Ikea flag" ha ha ha.
/Greetings from Sweden
+RadioactiveSaddam hello!
Man everyone is so nice from outside the us. Lmao you would never seen an American say "greetings from America" nobody says that from here lol
Surprised it isn’t a green background crescent moon at this point...
You guys nailed it. This is definitely the best looking wagon of all time.
great chemistry guys, love the reviews, love the personality and passion for cars! You are unique in car review channels, reminds me of Top gear when it Jeremy last came back to BBC.
+Phil Chiang thanks
it is a great looking car inside and out, would be a fantastic daily driver , that price though, maybe ill get one in a decade
siamiam it will be scrap by then
Why would it? My saab is over 15 years old and really good and comfortable
siamiam The HUD was showing km/hr and their plates read Quebec. These guys are Canadian, those are Canadian dollars FAM. $62k American fully loaded. It's a wagon man.
Matal ive followed this channel for a while and know they are down in canada and in a decade ill be able to afford the car
siamiam Down in Canada? Where are you that Canada is south of you? Will you save for 10 years to buy this or will you wait for the depreciation to drop the price enough to make it affordable? Or a combination of the two?
It's so odd seeing such high quality reviews, on roads that i drive almost daily
+Sean McGrath cliche corner shoutout
+Sean McGrath haha awesome
Grrrrrrrrreat Vid, boys! My lady and I watched and laughed the entire time. Thank you! Ps. We’re consider a V90 and LOVED your light-hearted but thorough review. Cheers 🍻
What a good looking wagon! Very interesting in many ways. Whenever I see people cruising in a car like that I can't help but imagining how awesome and relaxing it would be if I used it to drive to places. Volvos are a lifegoal.
Hey Manos, it’s pretty incredible owning and driving Volvo’s 👍 I drive a 2016 Volvo V60 Cross Country, and my wife has a 2013 Volvo C70. Both are amazing, solid built cars. Volvo for life ✌️
@@richk794 glad to hear that. Enjoy them!
Man this car looks AMAZING. Interior (those seats!), Exterior, Infotainment all look great, how much did it cost with these specs?
+OneObjective we mentioned it in the video, it's just about $80,000 Canadian as it sits
I have the XC90 inscription, it is great. Better than any of the audi or mb I have owned.
This car looks way better than the a6 wagon or e class wagon
Just to say: '' Beautiful''
BTW Thakns for the seatbelt Volvo!
+Moon Light yes seatbelts!
This is my 8th time watching this video, i cant live a day without watch this video. Its so good video and great edited good job!
+Heroic oh wow, thanks
Best car review I have ever seen, fantastic job!!
+Lewis White oh damn thanks man
your reviews are always honest (about the good & bad things) - never feels like a commercial for a brand
greetings & much love from the country where the REAL best wagons come from :))) sry Sweden...
+parrishwl thanks so much! Best wagons eh... Hmm...
Japan? Because the Subaru Levorg is awesome. :-)
Definitely not Germany. 2010 is long gone.
Japan?
Thought you were from Sweden, can’t think of another country... that’s how far off every other country is.
clever, what you did there :) Auf Wiedersehen
now, that is one sexy headlights
Thoroughly enjoyed the video guys. It's refreshing to get honest opinions about a vehicle, and also enjoying your energy around it. Have you reviewed the MB E63S Wagon??
in love with the channel! great content and sweet chemistry between the two of you/.
also really cool to see familiar spots of Toronto in your videos :D
+MockALove thanks!
You two are a little weird, but this wagon is so freaking awesome. Volvo 4 life.
They're very Canadian. I like them.
Swedish car, Swedish weather
+M Kurd in Canada! :)
M Kurd swedish weather isnt always bad
hahaha mnish kurdem 😂😂 im kurd 2 follew me in insta gram rebwari i javw cousins in canada haha wolwo weri god car
THANKS GUYS!! I just bought a 2016 V60 R-Design Polestar....based in large part on this video....and another by Motor Trend. Absolutely love it. I feel like I'm driving a full on sports car...or at least a coupe. I totally forget that I have a wagon behind me. Got an amazing deal on the car with 10K miles. No tech package but I don't even care...this car pulls like a freight train. Now I have to get my wife a VW Alltrack...now that looks like fun too.
Changing the fan speed while keeping auto climate is the best!! The worst part of auto climate is that the second you turn on the car in the summer it blasts the a/c as fast and loud as it can go! I want auto climate but I don't want it to be that loud, that's an awesome fix!
I LOVE, me a good looking Estate.
Now on pls bring auto braking test using Yuri. From volvo level to hit and run.
Yathu prem p
I stumbled upon you guys and truly your car reviews are amazing and your from Toronto like me so there's some unconditional love now
+Terayus Carter thanks!
Hi guys! I love your enthusiasm and the freshness of your videos. The whole tag team concept is very good, and your friendship makes this channel amazing. I am a hot hatchback fan, and I would love to see any 2017/2018 model against the equivalent year American muscle cars and how close in terms of performance Vs price they are. Keep doing what you are doing! Thank you very much.
+Georgios Papacharalampos awesome thank you
Would love to see following comparisons:
E400 vs 540i; E43 vs M550i; SQ5 vs Macan S.
+filmkhaneh watch our E43 vs Genesis G80 for now. We'll try to get some of those
I watched and enjoyed that episode right after it was published. Looking for exactly those kind of comparisons.
+filmkhaneh then strap in your seatbelt and make sure you have the notification bell turned on so you don't miss any videos. Lots more coming!!
Why my wife insists we get a minivan over this sexy wagon, I will never understand.
Maybe cause it's $30k more...
Maybe because you have some severe problems when you are ruled by your wife / husband?
get a ford s-max, it looks decent and has plenty of space
Did you divorce her?
That engine start is SAAB!
You guys are highly entertaining. Good review. Subbed!
+Lu-Hiep Phan awesome thanks
I will never understand why wagons won't catch on in North America, everyone wants lots of space and the driving dynamics of a car. I really wish we'd get the Kia Optima Sportwagon here, it looks really cool.
+Barobran92 apparently people just want crossovers
Volkswagen e-Golf vs Renault Zoe... a range challenge between them would be great.
+Putu Putrasta we don't have that in Canada
TheStraightPipes Canada is such an amazing country!
Fresh approach! Nice.
Great video, guys!! Thank you!
I love wagons and I can't believe you guys didn't mention any BMW wagons as a comparison. 3 series wagons with the Mtech package look sharp, possibly better then this Volvo.
+E91 Kiter just listed what came to top of mind. You don't see many bmw wagons in Canada
whaaat. In Sweden almost everyone drives a wagon it feels like. BMW wagons and Volvo wagons are really comon. Skoda, Audi, VW etc as well.
But what about V60 R Design Polestar Wagon? Does that still exist? Less Executive More Hot Hatchy and likely ~20K less $.
There is a real Polestar V60 with 367 hp. An all-new model is coming next year though.
Yeah we hope to review that
The V60 is coming next year yes, BUT there will never be another V60 Polestar, because Polestar is now a stand alone company which will only produce 100+K , hybrid dogshit and electric toys.
a stock V60 with a polestar pack is not even remotely close to a V60 Polestar, its like a stock bmw with an M pack, vs an M5, or M3.
try to get your hands on the all new polestar s60 it has 400+ hp
This is a great car, good review guys, thumbs up.
You guys are good..thanks for the great reviews....I just subscribed to your channel...
How to look like a rich father
Rofl then every single one are "rich" here in sweden
Anttown123 You can look rich and be poor dummy
coas3
Oh really? Last time i checked i liked AMG’s with their NA V8’s. I drive a BMW 540 V8 atm but when i can afford, i’m planing on driving down to Germany and importing a C63 507 (not the turbo trash, the last gen NA verison). I do like the last gen E63 facelift V8 bi-turbo too though.
I get what you mean though, there’s some places in Sweden where the left idiots rule, and they sure like their Micras hahah.
+Anttown123 You are all scientists? I do notice America isn't as blond as it used to be, but a Swede feeling superior cockily was also very rare.
@@jgripen969 Turbos are great. With them you can make a 2 liter inline 4 with 421HP.
Gorgeous Wagon, if only they weren’t so fucking expensive.
Though you speak in Metrics I still love your Channel.
+American Not American't Hahahah if we say a price in Canadian, it's probably like 50% less in the States 😂
The special effects are so damn cool !
This still looks sooooo good.
Chevy Bolt vs Chevy Volt. Prius vs Prius Prime.
+Yao Lou awesome, we will definitely keep these in mind
Advanced Yuri detection FTW!
+DV Shop hahahhah
Great reviews! Just stumbled on your page. I loved to see you review the V 90 CC version of the wagon. Also the 2018 BMW X3 M40i. Test drove them and loved them both.
+Marianne Gustafson we are doing the X3 M40i in a few months haha
Amazing simple looking car 🤩🤩I love VOLVO ... 😍
More Volvo, seriously Volvo videos get views!
Autopilot/lane keep comparison across brands.
+Vehshya for sure!!! -Yuri
+Vehshya we can do that for sure
TheStraightPipes Excellent! Really excited to see what you think. I noticed some pretty decent differences when I was out test driving.
Keep you the good work! Love your videos.
Great review! Good to know that you can customize the car to start in sport mode. My 9-5 is in sport every morning on my way to work 🚀
+hottie1245 yeah it's the best, every manufacturer needs that
I’ve just found this channel - fantastic video, just subscribed 👍
+Alan Jenkinson thanks!
My dream "grown up" car is a Volvo V90 Cross Country.
850 and 240 wagons are god status, this just don't have that Volvo wagon feel anymore.
awesome ride !
I loved this review. Really interesting.
V90 vs e-Class Wagon!
Timmy Picton an e63s would destroy this thing
Morty Smith thats a super car... and it costs 100k more
@@DetailingCars no it's 20k more
Mini Clubman JCW vs Golf GTI
+Rakul Venkat we're doing the Mini JCW (non club man) in a few weeks against another car. But we're doing the GTI a few weeks after that too
JCW va the Golf R. Mini Cooper S vs the GTI please.
you guys have great co-host chemistry
+JKU lab thanks
How cute that car looks😍😍
Reddit sends their love.
+Yao Lou what up r/cars!
It’s time for a cheap car challenge

Lexus LC500
+Yash Patel you're in luck buddy. We've got one booked for next week :)
2017 Suzuki Jimny vs 2019 Bugatti Chiron Sport
totally agreed about this being the best looking wagon
Hi guys!! As usual great content, you deserve more subscribers but i think it will be only a matter of time! I would like to see a comparison between an Abarth 595 and a Polo gti or a 2018 hot hatch comparison!! Keep on with those videos!
Lol@ removing the Christian station at 13:50. Good choice.
I saw that, too! It made me lol
IKEA flag hahahahha
nice vids! its cool to have both of your opinion!
+Jerome Dostie thanks!
Absolutely love this car, my dream daily driver. I am looking at getting a Buick Regal TourX as a half priced version of this though
80k for a 4cyl... Techy or not still a four banger. That's a hard sell.
MuquitaTheBeast only americans and rich kids want the v8..
I beg to differ
would rather have an E400 over this
That’s cheap!! Here in Denmark a Volvo v90 t6 will easily cost you around 150k
Wiikendz what are you even doing here.
"Ikea Flag"😭
+Leon Chisholm sorry
TheStraightPipes im not offended it was funny
+Leon Chisholm excellent. Being Canadians, we tend to apologize a lot
Getting mine this week!
I keep forgetting you guys are Canadian. Until I realize "they are being so nice to each other... oh right. Canada." Also. "Quit[e] the doozy". Great stuff as usual.
Twin and supercharged imagin that’s Gona be a bitch to fix and all the problems it will come up with in ten years from now I don’t know why can car companies just make a straight up engine with out their bullshit of extra stuff
as a swed i am offended
+Egg Smith by what!
Man that’s a good looking a wagon, can’t wait to pick one up for cheap.
I really like the radio of my Volvo C30. Very tactile, very intuitive, and it doesn't require me to "look too much" at the dashboard to navigate thru it. BRING BACK THE BUTTONS!
PS: Volvos have REALLY GREAT sound systems.
THey're no coming back. The Polestar 2 is a peak at the next generation Volvo interior design. Clean with a bigger tablet/infotainment center. I hardly see any buttons in the Polestar 2.
Only two things I disklike about this car: the transmission and God awful glossy plastic.
+21sanooj there's barely any plastic!
What plastic would that be then ?
21sanooj go straight for the T8 Inscription Plus!
The car is very slow too, for the horsepower it has.Navigation system is a nightmare. Had one for testing, but ordered a BMW 5.40i in the end.
For the money I think I'd rather get Shelby GT350R ._.
looks awesome!!!
Excellent video, as is tradition.
