i've sat in the new s60....damn solid car...sit inside close the door it sounds like closing a bunker....i regularly travel in friend's audi A4....can say that volvo build quality is almost the same as the A4s....door closing sound is more satisfying in the volvo...

Not sure what you are implying but the newer volvo's are using ford ecoboost engines and powershift gearbox. Judgeing from how well the car is selling - i dont think you got a reason to be worried about

Get the T5 ones...same engine as the Focus ST!

most chasis parts are from ford.

ford isnt cheap as well but there's always EBAY.

to be honest - those expensive parts - will need replacement but the replacement last for a long time. bushing, mounting, etc is very durable.

the only problem with newer cars is electrical and sensory

Parents interested in a used Volvo XC90 2.5T, AWD, 2003
Price: around RM75K

Is this a good buy? Read mixed reviews online.
Parents tengah pening now

Helppp!

ya, actually if not urgently need a new car, might as well wait for volvo new engine. One of the volvo mechanic told me they been sent to KL there to briefed about new engine, 2.0L, 8 speed, 300 hp. He dint say when, but I guess within 1 year time.
LOL, exactly same as what I read from paultan.org

sonyman, i've been checking around a few showroom , SA told me that the new s60 will only launch middle next year...
cud u confirm you already saw the batch of new s60 at the Shah Alam plant??

Since the new FL S/V 60 is already here at the assembly plant therefore the only logical reason why I was told by SA that VM will only start selling them middle of 2015 could be VM are to trying to dispose the current old stock. 

And dun forget Plotong hv juz recently appointed a psychopath in their Mgmt, this ars****e will blardy hell raise all cars prices in Malaysia by next year just to keep on protecting that specific junk.

So basically we are forced to buy the old model to enjoy the present 'low' price or wait next year for the new FL model to be sold at a 'human rights violation' higher price....

Ohhhh...Malaysia...endless possibilities....

anyone of you have seen the new XC 60? i think all in all it is a good package. if you dont care so much of the power boot and also ACC i think its a perfect price, with a new better engine and gearbox.

Else add about 2600 to get the digital display that be enough for it. The rest are just extra with no function.

Any news when the new facelift S60 will be launch?

good choice, else, you may even have to wait beyond 2017

but 2017 may works well for me

Haha...you migrated from Insight to V40...juz like me

Haven't seen the new XC60 yet, but from what I read, VM removed quite a bit of features compared to the previous version. ACC is very useful for highway driving, but not good for traffic congestions where other cars can easily cut in front of the your car because of the big gap. I think the LDW and RSI has been removed too. The power tailgate feature is actually very nice to use, adds a touch of luxury to the model because only high-end SUVs and sedans have that feature. RSI isn't very useful and LDW is also useful for highway driving because it alerts you if you drift out of your lane. I use it only when I'm on the highway; normal city roads, I de-activate it.

Based on paper specs, the new Drive-e engine and 8-spd GB is damn good... more Hp and torque, faster acceleration and lower fuel consumption. I'm averaging 7.5km/ltr with 60% city and 40% highway driving. The digital display will be useful to see the speed because the short, thin floating needle in my XC60 is hard to see when I'm going fast.

Other than the fuel consumption, all in all, the XC60 is still a good SUV to have; made even better now with the improvement in the engine and GB at a lower price.

Bro, you also have REP. I bought the XC60 under my SIL REP quota, cost 212k and I added 30k worth of accessories like the RSE, front and rear cameras, body kits and internal storage parts.

The shortest distance for ACC is around 1.5-2 cars' length; can't go nearer than that. I tried it with low speed and high speed; all the same. But I have to admit the Powershift GB is quite smooth too; hardly feel the down/up shift when changing gears.

Is your V40 using the 6-spd Powershift or 8-spd Aisin GB? And how well does the cross traffic alert work?

how did you get T5 at 120K? selling price is 180K and discount 50K ah? so much?

the car with the most discount is the s60 T6 AWD. thats 50K discount.

I see, so you must be a profesional loh making 6 digit income, how come settle for v40 as you got special rights?

I were you, get a 911 for 300k,

Why don't go for Benz AMG 45 when you are eligible for REP?

errr.. 2 cars, so one volvo v40 for self, another is a Renault Fluence for mom, right?

i think most of have seen this,

New XC 90.



So to keep the thread alive and push it to the front lets get some crash test going on



and also the lengthy presentation



Enjoy, I wonder Malaysia got order 1 unit today from Sweden for us Fans to view.

the new REP rules entitled only for those who haven't applied?
looks like XC60 is a good car...my cousin wanted to buy XC60 too using his father-in-law REP.. his FIL REP going to expire in few months time so need to buy car ASAp
