I can tell you after 2.5 years, S60 has been the best car I've bought in my life.

Volvo now not only makes the most comfortable seats, but also the best looking seats.

I have a 23 s60 recharge plus. I love it! it has a ton of quirks though. Ive had issues with the sensors and had to take it back to volvo twice already for issues, but they were easy fixes, and the car still drives like a dream. There's zero in-cabin storage. That's my biggest gripe. overall though, it's super fun to drive!

I hear your complaints about needing the HVAC controls to be physical, but I have to say, using the voice command to change the temp, fan on-off/raise the fan, recirculation etc is wonderful. Voice commands in Volvo's do more than that too. Pause/Cancel navigation is cool, as is pushing the button for nav and telling it you want to go home and it'll give you the directions right away (do not save real home address), and it'll even change your heated steering and seat settings. I think it's a mistake to remove the physical drive mode button that some older models had though.

Hi, from Japan!! Yes, you are true. I agree with you from Japan, too. What we only want to know is “Eco” “Normal” “Sports” “Sports +”. That’s it. I know this comes from Volvo’s gentle and kindness but too many informations on the touch screen. Volvo always builds cars which have enough power but they don’t let us feel it. Volvo cars are definitely great cars. Volvo is for people who drive smart not us who need spice on cars. Thank you Todd and Paul!!

Great video, thanks so much for sharing!

I currently have a 2018 Lexus es300h and will be purchasing a new car next year. I had my heart set on an S60 recharge, but just found out it takes 5-6 hours to charge. If I lived in a house it wouldn’t be a problem, but I live in an apartment so the challenge of charging this has become a dealbreaker.

LOL Sweden, oh China, beat the America. Guys I love this car. S60 is master piece

[KealeyOnCars]

Even weirder about the drive modes: they used to have a scroll wheel to change drive mode that worked fine… then they removed it… 🤷🏼‍♂️

[computergrej]

My first Volvo was a S80 T6, WOW it just blew me away on the test drive.

[LordElpme]

2:58 Why does the Knight Rider theme start playing in my head?

[billurban]

Agree on the buried mode menu, but if you want the ICE to run NOW, move the shifter to “brake” if it isn’t already there, then laterally.

With the wild discounts going on before you get to the 4500 cash allowance at the moment, these cars are very enticing for people like me that were looking at other brands. All they had to do if they were that dead set against a mode button, they could have made the main screen customizable with shortcuts for

[JesseVideos]

What does the button to the right of the track forward button do? In my Volvo that changed drive mode.

[paulwilliamson]

My ‘19 has a barrel switch under the start/stop to switch drive modes.

Makes no sense why they took that switch away in the newer one (just like you can’t show music in the center cluster anymore, only the Google Maps)

The S60 is arguably the most handsome design of any sedan on the road today. The "black package" ruins is. Especially the black wheels. It becomes one big dark blob. All the nice design disappears.

We have 11, 000 miles on ourplugin hybridrecharge overnight it charges to 43to 47 milesr. In hybrid mode on the road we still had charge after about 100 miles of driving The hybrid saves so much gas And keeps up the batteru so maybe we will get more than 80000iles from it. Using Hybrid mode allows ny Chev Volt to continue long aftet our second 2018 battery ran out. The '23s60 450 horsepoweris far superior to'22 and competes with any and far exceeds the need intown. 18:26 18:26

Weird, I could've sworn these used to have a knurled metal roller on the center console to switch the drive modes. Looks like Volvo went out of their way to make this more difficult to use?

[johnbrooks]

man, I know it's silly, but i LOVE that tiny flag sewn into the passenger seat....what attention to detail

[re]

Love the stealth exterior look. And at $63K, the $14K saved over my (better 😂) ‘22 Mercedes E450 might make this an equal value. Great review/content!
