"Even Volvo", WTF? Volvo have made some of if not the best 5 cylinder engines, period (even Ford used the Volvo 5 cylinder engines). They are SUPER smooth (almost as smooth as 6), sound great at idle and under acceleration. They made them from the early 90's right up until recently (almost every engine they made in the era was a 5, 4's and 6's much less Only ended due to Volvo being a small company and needing to rationalise cost. Quite sad really to see such a beautiful engine die for cost savings.

[unclejoe]

Funny he only mention Volvo once dude Volvo is famous for them

[KeithJenkinsvideos]

the volvo 5 cyl was a really great motor, I have one with 130K another with 180K miles. The turbo one get 30mpg and has 250hp at the same time!

[atleandersen]

The soundtrack of the fire breathing 20 valve, 5 cylinder Audi Quattro sport is simply breathtaking

[PistonShack]

My Volvo has 5 cylinders engine. It's so smooth and quite. Such a reliable engine bt5244t3, if you maintaine them. So many of them easy make up to 500k. Great short vid. Tnx, Scotty.

5 cylinder motors from Volvo are still great. They were so good that Focus RS used it too. Smooth and powerful motors with great sound.

[ryansheats]

I’ve had two five cylinder Volvo’s and they have both been extremely reliable plus the sound is perfect

[benhonda]

the volvo 5cyl was pretty good, especially in turbo form.

[EndofUSA]

I still have my Mercedes 300SD Turbo Diesel 1985 5 cylinder!!! Engine designation is the OM617. Bought her second hand ten years ago (2010) and I used her as my daily driver until now 2019!!! And boy.. She drives like a dream!!! I give her 50km a day for 5 days a week. She just doesn't quit!!! She truly enjoys the miles and miles on end!!!! No smoke at all!!! WHAT A CAR!!!

[Hinthehtx]

My VW 2.5 doesn’t vibrate. Been reliable so far. I do enjoy the sound it makes tho

[PapiDoesIt]

I describe the GM 5 cylinder engine as "the power of a four, with the economy of a six"

[DualShockTree]

Talks about 5 cylinder engines

Only mentions Volvo once.

3/10 Not enough Volvo - IGN

I had a customer once, with a late 90's Audi 100 2.5 TDI inline 5. It was closing in on 1.000.000 km, which is very rare in my country, but the engine was still running great.
The car actually looked brand new. The customer really took care of his car.

[SAVAGEKEYCONSULTING]

Back when Volvo was good, the 850 was an average 450, 000 mile car without any replacements. Inline 5.

[bluecrabsandsushi]

Even volvo...volvo used that engine as their main engine for over a decade

[joshg]

Still got 2 Mercedes 300D turbos. Both engines have over 300, 000 miles and still keeps up in highway speeds. I believe the OM617 engine is one of the greatest diesel engines ever built and they won't be going away soon. Plus EVERYTHING on that engine is mechanical, not any electronics you have to deal with.

[tomooo]

Volvo used 5 cylinder engines from 1991 to 2016, and I have owed 2, the T5 petrol and D5, the first was a performance engine, the latter was a 185 hp diesel. I liked them and as you noted, they have a particular sound - sort of off-beat noise. The petrol was very smooth and the diesel less so. Reliable and bullet proof.

[Bandit-Darville]

I love the Audi and Volvo 5 cilinder engine sounds! It's like the poor man's V10 :)

[manibor]

The sound in the 2, 4 Volvo 5 cylinder is amazing.
And the 6 cylinder is even better..
