Volvo's seats are the best and make awesome highway cruisers. Also the S60 was the only european car to get a "Good" in the new IIHS test. Volvo For Life!
Cooley's reviews are informative, insightful, and god damn hilarious. I watch these to put me to sleep at night!!! I test drove this T5 a few years ago and I was impressed by its performance.
Brian Cooley has come a long ways I love his reviews. He was part of a morning R&B/Hip Hop radio team in Los Angeles back in the day. Yes I said R&B/Hip Hop! he was very funny back the too.
Cross fingers when the PCV system will clog up, even with very low miles. After 2010, several car makers, Volvo, Audi, Bmw and others, used a PCV system that was badly designed and would start clogging ever before 30000 miles. The consequence is a sudden important oil consumption, which is is not corrected immediately - by replacing the PCV with a improved design, will cause piston ring and rod bearing damage, causing the engine to fail. Audi and Bmw are well aware of the issue and will repair the car without questioning but Volvo, with the now their proverbial attitude of denial (think ETM or XC90 T6 transmission) will blame the customer and deny any responsibility. Why Volvo doesn't discard their Management team and hire responsible people, it's a mystery.
I’m under the impression they sourced from the same manufacture. Or the PCV system is just another stupid thing emission controls had to tack on. (Can you tell ive had pcv failures in multiple cars?)
Any engine with an even number of cylinders should be smoother than ones with odd numbers of cylinders. With six cylinders, the forces of each piston are cancelled out (three up at once and three down at once) where as a five cylinder has one piston that is not cancelled out by another, and creates a bit more roughness.
Cooley takes a bit to get used to -but once you do, you find other reviewers to be insufficient relative to his technical knowledge, clarity, thorough efficiency, and little bits of humor that comes out from nowhere.
George Snyder Of course not. My point was once you get used to him, he's actually a likable and comparatively robust reviewer vs. tons of junk reviewers out there. Where btw is his info inaccurate on this vid? I don't doubt the man's imperfect, but just curious.
The led on the remote is a great idea! I don't like how my car right now has absolutely no acknowledgement of locking other than flashing the lights only one time and never again.
I think the front grill area looks very bleh, sorta like a hyundai elantra, but the rest of the car is really sharp looking, they just sorta dropped the ball on the front.
Well Ford basically took more technology than gave back to Volvo. For example, the body on current Fords are all Volvo bodies slightly modified with cheaper parts and a heavier weight. Volvo is a really good company. I really like them more than anything else.
I remember the s60 they presented it by showing the emergency auto brake tech at about 15-20 miles per hour. it failed the test in front of the entire media hahahahaha

Enjoyed this for the great commentary - appreciate a more practical, direct, objective and no-nonsense review. Well done dear Sir !
"Don't buy a 3 series." *shows picture of 1 series BMW* come on. It cannot be that hard to find a picture of a 3 Series BMW.
I know, right? I'm surprised that nobody noticed before they uploaded the video!
I know right? Wow, a couple of errors ticks you off? Come on.
Its a 1m
They are same crap anyway, sorry
"From too close... to too dame close!"
Having a giggle-fit over here xD
Mr. Cooley is the best :D
*damn
I really like this guy's review I am planning buying a T6 so his inputs are appreciated.

LOL 0:22 I didn't know Volvo was spelled Volovo....

Talking about the 3 series, and laying over videos and images of the 1 series.
Cooley Rocks on the car reviews again ! ;)

Cooley is Back.... i have restored the faith in humanity again ..

Maybe, but confidently delivering inaccurate data does not make it more accurate.
George Snyder Of course not. My point was once you get used to him, he's actually a likable and comparatively robust reviewer vs. tons of junk reviewers out there.

Alex on Autos is great
lol@ Quaker pews. Nicely done, Brian.
Lmao I like this guy he adds a bit of humor to automotive reviews. "Look out for the buggy man in the back seat"!
The led on the remote is a great idea! I don't like how my car right now has absolutely no acknowledgement of locking other than flashing the lights only one time and never again.
love s60 wow what a car
I love it!
What is that dope ass song playing when he's talking about the key
its better looking than the germans
Wooh that looks just like the iDrive setup
"Look for the Boogeyman in the back seat." LOL! Cooley cracks me the hell up!
Volvos have gotten so good looking in the past few years!
Fun to watch Cooley
Like BMW, Their North American customer center is in New Jersey, where they send test cars to reviewers.
more specifically, the ultra rare 1m!
Volvo has come a long way. Much better visuals, interior and engines. Only thing id like too see is More Room
The First car they are showing is not actually a 3 series, but a 1 series coupe.
3:20 look for the boogie man in the back seat lol!
Volvo. for life.
why were they showing the 1m instead of the 3 series at the star?? very good cnet! hahaha good editing! but i love your reviews
thank you for sharing that this is graet news.
He said "Quaker pews in old churches", hilarity at it's finest.
it is cause they spin at the same rate as the shutter speed in the camera.
2013 volvo s60 t5 premier vs 2014 ford fusion titanium , same price, both less than 20k miles which one to chosse i love them both.
CubanBeast volvo
Omg you're awesome
review the polestar version, and then review a golf tdi
The S60 is actually made in Ghent Belgium.
that was not a 3 series, it was a 1 series
Well, I like it. 6.6 s to 60 mph - when I was a kid, only sportscars did that!
Should look at the t6 then
Brian Cooley is a funny guy.
He said it had great seats tho
LOL have a happy Weekend :)
Great video! Look out for the boogeyman in the back seat.
"To close... to damn close"
Wow that's crazy but true dvds are retro
@leonxl that's Saab
I think the front grill area looks very bleh, sorta like a hyundai elantra, but the rest of the car is really sharp looking, they just sorta dropped the ball on the front.
He's been back for quite a while. Search for Bentley Continental GT.
Well Ford basically took more technology than gave back to Volvo. For example, the body on current Fords are all Volvo bodies slightly modified with cheaper parts and a heavier weight. Volvo is a really good company. I really like them more than anything else.
Yeah Belgium to.
The "3 series" in the beginning was a 1 series...
yes it is its swedish
“Throttle response is too twitchy in sport mode”. Shouldn’t a sport throttle be twitchy and responsive?
I think he just feels something is mildly off about that mode. He should try the Polestar. These are really cool cars
Brian Cooley hates Volvos
Volovo @ 0:23
Chinese ownership only. Geely has a lot less influence on Volvo than Ford. In a way, Volvo is now more swedish.
On the title on the Video it says Volovo :-)
Is the T6 smoother than T5?
Really Cooley? That was a picture of a 1-series, not a 3-series.
Volovo .. Sounds like a guy trying to say Flafel after consuming 4 liters of tequila :D
the first car was a 1-series...not a 3
I remember the s60 they presented it by showing the emergency auto brake tech at about 15-20 miles per hour. it failed the test in front of the entire media hahahahaha
from 0:00 to 0:05 that was a 1 series not a 3 series...
That's a 1 series at the start of the video..
lol that was a 1 series at the beginning
that's because they forgot to turn it on
Brian is the American Jeremy Clarkson
or you could check out the new saab......DAMN IT!
Did this guy EVER actually like a car he reviews?
it's his job to critique. he seemed to really like Jetta TDI and GTI overall as cars
cooley is funny as hell!!!
Still made in Torslanda Sweden, and they will not change anything.
Didn't Volvo stop producing cars??
That's like saying Jaguars are Asian because they're owned by an Indian company. They're just not.
4:35 It's wheels don't even spin *_*
of course, i put "new" in the comment now
No, they're Swedish
Congrats, now get "first" on a MinnesotaBurns or Nintendo video. Have fun completing that task. :P
Why does the boogie man look like the Quaker oats guy?
Anyone notice the NJ license plate? haha
i don't agree with him .. i like the design (:
not a bad car, but id take a 740 turbo over this any day.
you spelled Volvo wrong. 0:20
>3 series
>shows 1 series
Ouch. well that was a shock to their system. lol
Only 20/29?
FUCK that.
Hahaha, seems like this video is meant to talk negative of this Volvo car rather than positive. So much for a "great Volvo T5". My goodness.
Whoever edited this video needs to get fired. Thats a 1 series not a 3 series and its Volvo not Volovo
This reviewer needs to slow down his pace, boy he is talking fast.
It's is lol. Us people don't know the difference anyway.
lol one of the funniest XD
