I was searching for this comment! Not disappointed :D
But apparently there is a risk of “catastrophic numbness”
Call your doctor if it lasts more than 4 hours..
6:41 lmaoooo
I'm sorry but it's really hard to take your comparison seriously when you don't talk about the thread count and stitching in the floor mats.
saucy AF
The geese strikes again!
I buy my cars purely based on floormat thread count.
Only 5 mins into the video, read this, deleted the video, moved onto a Vehicle Virgins video.........thanks for the spoiler Savage Cornish Hens.
I need a flatulent absorbency rate or I just can’t get behind a review.
I hope genesis will be a successful luxury car brand. More competition, better products, win for consumers!
They're bringing an SUV in this year
They need to build their own dealerships separate from Hyundai.
@@kgisabeast They've started to. But for now existing Hyundai dealerships offer peace of mind that there is a huge network of dealers you can service your car at and what not. If you suddenly had only one place far away to get a service it'd be worse than sharing a dealer with Hyundai.
Is it? Have you seen it?

First kia stinger
And now g70. Thanks korea for giving great bang for our buck.
Honorable mention
The new Corvette stingray supercar that's affordable.
Kia is a brand laughed at and unappreciated in North America and the stinger is shit compared to its competitors in its class. Kia will never go anywhere, and it doesn't deserve to. Kia is a terrible brand in 2019 and most likely forever . As for Hyundai Genesis they are doing really well and appreciated, people really like what they are doing. Um yep the new corvette is affordable random comment?
@@Nickdalman
It's funny to read your comment. The fact is that Kia is part of Hyundai Motor Group, and it shares a lot of resources with Hyundai. Starting with the power plant in the Genesis G70 which is the exact same one as in the "shitty" Kia Stinger, as you ignorantly called it. Yes, over 20 years ago, Kia made some really crappy cars. Much like Hyundai did about 10 years before that. But lately, that two-car-brands-merged-into-one Korean company has really stepped up its game, big time. Anyway, I love to play the underdog in my "shitty" Kia Stinger GT Limited and wave bye bye to badge haters on the road when I zoom passed them and watch their bewildered faces...
AlainHubert look forward to seeing you on the road and in my rear mirror, and in 3 to 5 years the Kia will be a wreck, cheap plastics and electrics. Let’s wait for all the fans to say how good they are then. A hearing aid won’t help because they will be forgotten
the base model C8 is going up to 80K in like 2023 waaay too much for a wannabe supercar
@@AlainHubert kias and hyundais outnumber most other brands in ireland, and we've got no kia haters here (as far as i know anyways)
Man.. The Koreans are really really killing it.
They seriously are. It's not just E-sports
That's what happens when you hire people from the best German brands.
Copying others without innovating won't take you anywhere!
BMW engineers are helping kia and hyundai if you don't know

@@BabyFaceDon and be the reason that they go away because you didn't support buying one new. We all lose thanks 👍
The g70 is really really nice wow
I recently bought the S60 and while it’s not aggressively powerful it’s just so. Damn. Comfortable. The seats are vastly superior. I’m getting older, what can I say? I love the S60.
As someine who owned a V60 T6 for 3 years, i can only agree. It's not all powerful, but it got enough steam to still be quite comfortable in any situation. Great cars.
Volvo 850 was my first car. Always have a place in my heart for Volvo and the 850.
The Koreans are doing great things.
@@traceydavison2492 So just because something is deemed unacceptable also makes it impossible?
great things
yes:bentley designer and BMW engineer
no: korean
koreans behave like their own credit
that is their habits
@@9bambooleaves A comment by our 'frickin friendly' chinese.
@@9bambooleaves behave like their own? Are u talking about 孔子 stuffs? its the Taiwanese guys who made those shit up. The Koreans never pretended that Chinese cultures are their own. Educate yourself before you bash other people please. It will make you guys look bad. oh wait.. you guys already have enough bad reputation =( nvm.
@@magg93 ok swedistan
James, the Volvo adaptive cruise control can also be adjusted in single digit increments by holding the + or -
Volvo has increment by 1, it's bull to say only by 5. Every Volvo I owned had increment by 1
yep and they could also add that it will hold whatever speed you manually reach when you engage in the adaptive cruise. They really let down or forgot most of the features in the Volvo, definitely didn't touch on all its high points. They only reviewed the screen in relation to the Apple carplay system, but at any other time the vertical screen layout is both very intuitive and super easy to use, far better than most other brands.
Genuinely think you guys are doing some of the best car reviews in the game right now. Interesting match ups. Perfect subtle comedy relief. Imagining what you guys could do with a bigger budget. Please keep pumping out content and succeeding so i can get even better car porn
Thanks! We are very slowly using the money that is coming in to increase the quality of our camera gear and production. Its a fantastic journey and we love it. Thanks for your support!
Totally agree, look forward to every video!
Between you guys and Straight Pipes, Canadians have reached boss level for car reviews. Who else would make reviews of filthy dirty cars in winter with barely any actual action interesting and fun to watch.
Represent!
@@ThrottleHouse I think you guys have done very well
Great review. Touches on all the key points without getting caught up in brand or model hype.
No one makes a better seat as Volvo, that matters a lot to me.
As a Volvo owner, I confirm.
As a rental car worker, no. Without spending Bentley money, Lincoln has the best seats. Volvo is second best, but it's not close.
As someone who just drove over 2000km in a Volvo V90 last week, and over 20k km total, I confirm this statement too. I've been in top line Audis, mercs, BMWs, all sorts of American brand cars too, you name it. None of them come close to the ergonomy and refinement of the Volvo seats, despite most of them being considerably larger/thicker. Volvo is def. the leading brand when it comes to interiors in their class.
Volvo seats are very uncomfortable
@@johanfagerstromjarlenfors lmao thats gotta be the biggest joke of 2020
I’m at 11,300 in my G70 so far since July and it’s sooooo much fun to drive. Have to be aware how fast it is. Gets up there quickly.
Throttle House has a great format, the banter, and one liners are awesome, very entertaining yet informative reviews. Definitively pondering the G70 in RWD, seems great value. I think Volvo S60 is exterior design is so well done, no unnecessary curves, false vents, and their interiors (plus seats) seem so good.
The Koreans are progressing faster than all other cars makers combined
They can but don't make development fast as they can.. Who would buy a hyundai sports car if they made it right now. Not only sports car but also a high class sedan. Even I am a Korean but I'd rather buy the german one. May be different in the future
After watching Scotty Kilmer and doing my own research on youtube from German car owners, the only German car brand I'd want is BMW. Miss me with that Volkswagon Group garbage, their abundant issues that need recalls and repairs are insane.
Easy to look like you are progressing faster than everyone else when you made shit cars for most of your existence.
Korean are busy making the Europeans proud.
@@buggaboo333 they are catching up, have catched up, but it is still considered progress from point where they were
Honestly, who will use paddle shifters in a Volvo? I don't think this was an appropriate comparison. Sport isn't always better than luxury. Too many car reviewers forget who the companies are trying to cater to.
Exactly. For instance, my grandmother has a 2018 XC60 T6 (different Volvo, I know) and it ticks all the boxes for her. She's not interested in the steering feel or the turbo-lag. She's maybe not the target market, but she bought the Volvo for its strong points. Buyers of Genesis products probably won't be people like my grandmother, they'll be people who are interested in road feel and 0-60 times. Both cars are fantastic and I would be over the moon to own either of them, but the interesting part is simply that they appeal to slightly different markets.
Paul Jones XV then Volvo shouldn’t offer it as “R design.”
They’re trying to sell it as something sporty, so it makes perfect sense that the reviewers are going to treat it as such.
@@wristoww R-design is just that, D E S I G N.
@@Sebbe40 Exactly, it's and added aspect to appeal more youthful, not entierly change the character of the car. It's still a Volvo in all it's greatness but with a more exciting facelift. People who don't get the point of things shouldn't even argue against it.
Paddle shift everything!!!!
The Volvo is sensational. Reviewed it pretty spot on. I too agree, the steering is way too soft. For too long volvo steering was firm and had the most horrible turning circle. They've over compensated hugely. It's too soft. But it's good point is it is still manageable and constant throughout. Some electric steering in vehicles feels different at certain turning ranges (VF Commodore comes to mind - yuck!). This is at least controllable.
The motor is extremely soft too. The whole car lacks a dynamic feel and doesnt give much feedback. The previous 3.0L was so much more fun. But... It's going for a very soft and comfortable feel. And honestly it's nothing short of a masterpiece. If you want something more aggressive and raw don't buy it (buy a 15/16 polestar ;) ). If you want still want some power and drivability but don't mind it being on the softer side, do it.
The G70 is great, but it's absolutely nothing in the volvo when you factor every single part in.
I know what you mean with turning circle. Coming from a p2 owner with oversized all terrains 😭. U turns are always 3 point turns and 3 point turns are 5+ point turns. But man does the steering feel nice (I have done some chassis stiffening) and I enjoy it so much more than modern cars. Still not Miata or older bmw level but it’s still great for something meant for comfort. The engine being NA and lower HP is still very peppy and very reactive after the autotragic has adjusted to your driving style (no sport mode but learns how you are with the throttle) and kick downs are aggressive and nearly immediate. The gear ratios let it down though. A manual would make the peppy engine very fun.
I drive the xc60 and to be honest i love the steering wheel. Its amazing how easy you can change lanes and turn.
Love my S60, especially how it looks on the outside and inside. The seats are great. You can’t floor it though. You have to push the gas petal down slowly to avoid lag b/c there is way too much going on between the supercharger and turbo.
Wdym by “avoid lag”?
@@prasadsawant4153 Turbo lag 🙂
@@prasadsawant4153 you are definitely not a car guy
@@Nick_Sevostjanov yikes lol don't be unkind
S60 T6 here as well. There is a bit of lag but hell even my 2015 Acura TLX V6 had lag when flooring it soo i think it's more of a ECU response time issue than anything. In any case, the Polestar Optimization upgrade is next on my to do list because I've heard from other Volvo owners that upgrade helps increase the responsiveness of the Volvo's.
I have a 2019 G70 3.3 sport, it's made driving fun again. I cant wait to get into it every morning on my way to work.
Same.. I just bought a red 3.3T. I pretty much only drive in commute... and I look forward to commute! who does that! It's so fun to drive the car.
The Volvo's adaptive cruise can also go up by increments of 1, you just have to hold the button down for a little while longer.
It’s the same as the Subaru system. It was a challenge to get used to coming from a Hyundai product that is opposite.
By far the best car channel there is, earned a subscriber for sure
Hilarious intro to the video like always since the boys at motor trend head 2 head broke up this is the best duo reviewing cars around now
Ou guys are underrated, you should have more subscribers. Great review, great reviews and great intros. Love your videos, I also happen to live in Canada as well.
I remember this was a first throttlehouse video I found. Or perhaps, found me. I don’t know how “big” you guys were at this time. But even still everything here is still on point. Your milestone of 2 million is well deserved gentleman!
I miss the old 5 cylinder Volvo’s that have really good performance. They were great back then. S60, V70, and C30 R’s were amazing back then.
"And since Thomas keep asking me to his house for an hour and a half to peel his tangerines..." Are we sure that's not a euphemism of some sort? All joking aside though, I've really been loving you guys' reviews as well as the silly intro skits. Keep it up!
This channel is getting better and better. Keep up the quality! 👍
Thank you! Finally someone talks about the sound system! When buying a car, an important part to me is the sound system ( and the speed and power). You two are funny as well! Keep up the great reviews.
You guys have the best videos on YT. Funny and professional! Love it!
I really wanted this comparison. Good work guys.
Note:The addaptive control in the volvo can be set as + or - 1 by holding the increasing or decreasing speed button.
You had me at!
"Drug Dealer Low" (8:44)
"Soccer mom high"
I must have
As a drug dealing soccer mom (happens more often than you think), I was had as well.
I got the Volvo S60 Incription and I love it , very quick and quite vehicle with just a stunning interior and just a beautiful car, overall great car.
I have a 2019 Genesis G70 Advanced 3.3 T and it is a great (Best bang for the buck) go drive the competition and then drive the G70. Compare the $$ and the warranty. Call me impressed. I call it Fast Luxury.
Envious...you seem like a wise man. Always impressed with people who don't have to have a BMW or MB logo on the hood.. Great call

Its over a year an a half later and this is still by far my favorite opening bit
I bought a 2019 T6 AWD MOMENTUM with 500 dealer miles on it. I compared everything new and used and was shocked at how amazing and well thought out the S60 is.
The S60 drives like a bigger Mercedes, but more nimble!
Made my day 10x better!!!! Thank you guys!
I own an s60 T6 Inscription.. and yes you cant really hear the engine, but when I gun it in dynamic mode, the supercharger sounds heavenly!
Entertaining and informative as always.
Thank you for mentioning fuel economy. Since I drive 17-18k miles per year, this is important to me, and it’s definitely a factor for me when car shopping. The grade of fuel required can also a factor, since premium can run $0.40-$0.80 more per gallon than regular gas.
I absolutely love the design language of old volvos. Really beautiful imo
You guys play off each other really well when you're talking face-to-face, while still being informative about these cars. Like old friends. You might want to consider riding together for one of these shoots. It's a really good dynamic.
Then they would be like Straight Pipes. They do a lot of bantering so it's cool.
I went with the G70 2.0T AWD Prestige!
How much out the door ?
Super envious...that's a great ride.. Will be picking up a Genesis GV80 in a couple of years..
About 37k because I traded in a BMW 335i. Recently paid it off and just celebrated 20 years in the military!
Brandon, Thank you for your service. Share more about your car. Mileage? Ride? Wish it had?
I've been curious about the 4cyl G70 and the 4cyl Stinger. I hear they aren't as powerful, but still have lots of get up and go, and what you lose in brute force they make up for in steering and maneuverability.
It's 2021 now, and in Canada they don't offer the 4 cyl variants anymore, but I'm still curious because I love those cars.
How are you liking it?
There's a bit of Savagegeese camera work, and Straight Pipes interaction. Nothing bad about that. Good job guys!

@@andrewkennedy9704 I like him. He's pretty comprehensive and his video quality is tops.
@@benjaminsmith2287 fair enough I just cant stand his voice.
The funny thing is that there on some of the same roads as the straight pipes
These guys have been in my head lately. The other week I get a comparison of three great cars. One of which (the GTI) is most likely to end up in my driveway. This week I get a comparison of my two favorite sporty/luxury models. One of which (the G70) is most likely to continually get pined for by me.
Great reviews and great videos!
Thanks Jeremy! Methinks next week's video is slightly off of your path then! :D
James Engelsman - I didn’t get the GTI I got a G70! I feel like running around screaming like the Home Alone kid!
@@jeremytd7072 Congrats Jeremy! What spec did you go for? How are you liking it?
James it’s a 2.0 Dynamic in Mallorca Blue. After, getting an insurance quote on the V6 I had to pass. So, I bought a JB4 and new plugs to go with it. Fingers crossed it works to keep my warranty, dupe the insurance company and make me feel like I got the 3.3T.....well almost feel like it at least.
@@jeremytd7072 That's awesome man congrats. Spectacular car
I love the beginnings of your episodes lol. You guys are doing an amazing job. Please do an episode with TheStraightPipes!
Rewatching this in July 2021, it still holds up and I dream of the Canadian snow instead of this fatal Southern California heat.

@@Nevervar I have not. Have you?
@@Tripp55 Sadly no, Shazam couldn't catch it. If you ever find it and remember me, a random internet stranger, let me know! Thanks!
@@Nevervar I know it says they use music from epidemic sound but it's just SO much music to go through. And I wouldn't even know what genre to call it
@@Tripp55 Yeah, saw that. As much as I liked the song, going through hundreds of songs wouldn't be worth it. These guys could "mess about" a bit less and tell us which song it is! 😂
Fantastic intro!! Love the comedy haha!
Really loving your reviews
I love your descriptive analysis in your reviews.. one criticism I have is that when you're trying to show us how "fast" a car is by steeping down on the accelerator, we (the audience) have no reference point to judge its speed. Would love to see a dash cam showcasing the quick down.
How do you guys not have more subscribers?! My new favorite auto enthusiast/journalist channel on CZcams! The commentary and connection from you two is always great! And love James’ humor!
Awesome video guys! Just a few weeks ago, I was test driving both these cars in Etobicoke! It was an obvious choice for me and I got myself a new G70! 2T though...😊
having driven both a 2013 and a 2020 s60 I agree with the comment. I love the heavy wheel of the 2013, but I just can't get used to the lightness of the 2020
The intro is the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life
Stuck in an airport, flight delayed, no problem Throttle House to the rescue!!
that hand representation of the foot tho :D
Okay, First of all I love you guys! Yes I'm a car nut, but I find myself watching your videos as much for the antics as the car reviews. I also like the fact that you review everything from the sublime to the ridiculous. I even enjoy watching you review the boring cars, of which there are many these days. You're video on the Isetta was a total hoot! I like the comments you make regarding the livability and subtle differences between similar cars. Things that are not obvious when doing a traditional test drive, or looking at the specs. Besides all that, you guys seems to really like each, and have fun. This makes me wonder how you got together, especially as you are from different continents. I am currently driving a 2016 Infinity QX50. I really wanted an AWD premium hatchback with decent performance and responsive handling. There were few of these available outside of BMW, Mercedes, and Audi in 2016. Preceding the Infinity, I had an Audi A3 hatch. Loved the car, hated the dealer. The Infinity goes like hell! Love that 325 HP six and rear drive bias. Love the interior, and overall styling, except for the goofy headlight design. What I don't like is the steering , road noise, laggy 7 sp tranny with NO paddles, and the high ride height. I recently up graded to Pirelli Cinturato P7 all season tires which has help the steering feel significantly. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the many hours of entertainment you've provided, along with the great reviews. BTW, you must have a great production team, as your audio and video quality is tops.
Stay safe and happy holidays

You can also go up By increments of 1 with volvo's cruise control. You'll just have to keep holding the "increase" or "decrease" speed button down.
Can’t wait for the “N” edition of G70
Indeed
Recently, it was decided to release Genesis 'G70 N' model to compete with BMW M3 and C63AMG in Korea. The release is scheduled for September 2020.
@Rev limits my Intake tune and downpipe stinger walks m3s. Meaning this with the same mods would kill one. They can easily just crank up the boost from the factory and add stiffer suspension components,stickier tires etc etc. With this motor cranked up or having slightly bigger turbos it would have no issue rivaling the m3 on the street.
@@IReahpZzrace a similarly modded m3 or even m340i for that matter and let me know how it goes 😅
@@brocks692 oh I'm sure but a 80k car should walk a 36k Kia. The fact that 2k in mods gets you a comfier faster car than an m3 is huge value for money. For the price of getting that m3 you can get an upgraded turbo g70 and save tons of money... It's all on value there. You can get a whipple charged new Gen mustang 10speed if you want cheap speed, 45 k for a 9 second car lol. Just saying if power is a concern you can have a fast stinger or g70 for much less than an m3
You guys have awesome intros
Loved the Transformers Ref in the beginning, keep the good work up guys
Im so happy to not have skipped the intro and almost missed that funny skit haha
Why does Volvo make the best looking sedans on sale right now.
Rich Mahoney because they all look the same
@@waelhcd-9258 They only make two, the s90 and the s60. They look less the same than does the BMW 3, 5 series or Audi's 4 or 6. Their window areas are different and they are the same in the Audi and BMW. btw, there is a Polestar 2 sedan that may become in the s40. It looks different from the s90 or s60.
These intros keep getting better and better!
Don't put that evil pressure on me, Ricky Bobby
So true
@@jamesengelsman9369 there's your next movie intro
Really good intro skit, was not expecting that but it was amazing
i love your review guys
Yes I agree the Volvo steering is a tad mushy, but with the speed chip of the Polestar in the R-Type the 316HP is closer to 330 or more, and it really jumps out from the crowd from out the gate. Ad the overall comfort and it really is a great car to drive, either in the city or on the highway. The only thing I wouldn't spend money on is the Heads-up display. The ApplePlay is more informative and responsive. Save your money here and put it into the upgraded sound system. Great review here, however. Just tuned in to you guys and I think you're amongst the best out there reviewing cars!
The B&W Sound system is truly amazing
That skit was hilarious!
Its be nice to see a G70 2T vs Jag XE/ Cadillac ATS or really anything sometime...
Good channel guys! Keep it up! 👍
Lol the effort u guys put into the skits is why I watch
Excellent comparison. I would pick the G70.
Genesis all day...not even close for me. Good vid gents
Regarding the cruise control of the S60 does from 1 by 1, you have to hold the button. They used the 5 by 5 because drivers use me often to go until the next tent.
Like always, you guys rocks!!!
Please do a Mazda 6 2.5T, Honda Accord 2.0T, Nissan Altima 2.5T, Kia Stinger 2.0T comparison. Then take the winner and compare it to Audi, Mercedes, BMW grand coupes/sportbacks with the same size engine and/or horsepower. PLEASE???
Usually you go and compare things class to class. Mazda 6 and Accord I understand since they are in the same economy sedan class, but the Altima is a compact class which would compare to something like a Civic and the Stringer is a RWD sports car which is totally different from all the ones you stated which are either FWD or AWD... So there's a lot of unfair balance between what each of these cars excel at and therefore you will have extremely inconsistent results trying to compare these...
@@ubacow7109 are u kidding ... The Altima Is in the class as the 6 and accord. The Sentra is against civic
I would like that comparison mentioned by Jason
Correction: Volvo’s cruise control does allow for single point increments in speed, you just have to push and hold the “plus” button...
Great videoguys keep it up

This was very good review. You guys are killing it. I'd take the genesis any day. Not that the Volvo is bad but honestly that genesis looks mean and it can walk the talk.

Idk why but I love S60 steering system 😂, very soft and gentle, easy to control
Throttle House x Straight Pipes crossover??! :)
Make it happen TH gents!!
were you activating the sport traction mode vs just putting it into dynamic? on the s60? removes a lot of that power delay in my experience
Sound system and interior of Volvo, Pilot mode, comfort, you can’t beat the Volvo. If you only care about the drive then Genesis.
I just bought a 2019 S60 T6.
I narrowed it down to between an ACURA TLX and the S60. I decided to go with the Volvo purely on the styling, infotainment system, camera system and electronics which are far superior to the Acura's (and by the looks of it, this Genesis). Given, the TLX has a 6 cylinder engine and a much smoother tranny then the S60, takes regular gas, and seems more like the Genesis reviewed here, but I don't race around much and when I do it's on my motorcycle (actually, I ride the exact roads this review was filmed on) so I was just looking for comfort.
The first few days after I had the car I thought that maybe I made a mistake since I wasn't used to the delayed response (even with my other vehicle a super solid Jeep Wrangler Unlimited), but as the reviewer noted, once I understood what the car is "about", I have had no regrets. As an added bonus, the S60's are still rare on the road: where I live, Mercedes, BMW's and Audis are on every second driveway so I like having something a little bit different and the styling is as nice if not better then those cars.
