- In my in-depth 2019 Volvo S60 T5 R-Design review, I tell you what's good and bad about the partially sporty Swedish saloon that gives diesel power the middle finger.
FYI: This video was filmed near where they shot the Aston Martin DB5 clip in the James Bond movie, Skyfall, hence the terrible attempt at a Scottish accent. You have been warned.

Nice review, sorted my doubts with the car..CHeers
A very good review, totally agree with everything. My biggest disappointment coming from a BMW is the steering feel. I know this is a front wheel drive but it makes you appreciate how good it is to drive a rear wheel drive car.Interior wise I love the Volvo look although like many others I miss the real buttons opposed to the Volvo system.
Yeah some of the BMWs have decent steering, although I prefer Alfa Romeo and Jaguar in this area. Thanks for the kind words.
cruising on the motorway, i get about 41mpg from my T5. Great review for an early release video. Only downside is mine doesnt have folding seats. But's ok. We use my partner's car for ikea trips :D
Thanks, early reviews have their limitations but I try to make them as informative as possible! The lack of folding seats does sound a bit of a pain. 41mpg sounds about right :)
You can pick these up for sub 25k now, nobody is buying them it appears
It's a lot of car for the money. Things are really bad in terms of car sales so this trend is across the board, particularly last year's reg.
A Tribe Called Cars Yeah it looks like it's pre reg cars they're discounting on! I might have considered it over the Fiesta ST, about the same price 😂
Haha yeah but the new Fiesta ST is bags of fun, I should really edit my video review.
A Tribe Called Cars Please do
Sadly 250hp with Volvo is something like 190 german ponies. Acceleration figures are amazingly low. A lot of customers take that into consideration.
