matt1122 Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Finally had a chance to get some decent pictures of the V60. Figured Volvospeed deserved a post for being such a good website. R BumpersHIDzPegs(ish)WagonMoar PicturesImgur Gallery has a few more pics and higher resolutions: http://imgur.com/a/p84BG#0Thank you for looking at my pretty car. No plans to modify for now, as I haven't decided whether or not I'll keep it at the end of the lease. If I do make any modifications, it will probably be the Ferrita exhaust and downpipe, IPD bars, and (most likely) a vinyl wrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdancer Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Seriously though, very cool! How do you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1122 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I love it. By far my favorite Volvo out of all that I've ever driven and one of the best choices I've ever made. I didn't test drive the BMW 328xi because I knew I didn't want a BMW (I've looked at them many times before and around here the 3-series is as common as the civic (I wouldn't be surprised if there are more BMWs)), but nothing else I drove came close except the Audi A4 Allroad, which I didn't really want because of the 4-cylinder engine and inferior safety. And that car wasn't nearly as fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN_CENA Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 No pegz, no tintz wtf man Also, are those 17 or 18" Ixions? cant gauge the wheel size, haven't seen many v60s in person to be able to tell the scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1122 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 They are 18" Ixion's. The 19"s are all flat black instead of diamond cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ihatespeedbumps Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Despite the lack of a manual option, I'm loving the V60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikS Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 We were excited about our XC60 purchase the year it came out, hopefully Volvo has paid more attention to quality materials and finishes. Nice car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1122 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 The build quality has gone way, way up over the past 5 years. I'm actually extremely impressed and was shocked to see something so well built from Volvo last year when I test drove an XC60 RD at the open house.Others are finding they have door rattles from the get-go due to some sort of clip issue in the door pannels, but after it's fixed they're alright.I'm having three issues that may need warranty repair.1. Sideview mirrors are not dimming2. Driver's seat has premature aging already3. Instrument cluster has shut off a few times while driving. Moving the shifter to N and back to D makes it flip back on.I may wait for first service to deal with either of these and am considering whether I want to start conditioning the leather more often (I've already done it twice in two months) or just making a warranty claim on #2 as so many other people have.

D s50r Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 i def would make it known about the seat ive gotten pretty good at replacing the seat covers or this issue haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1122 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Thanks, D. Given I've conditioned twice already I don't know there's anything I could do to save them, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theForgottenone Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Is there any service bulletin on the rattle? I had this annoying rattle on the front passenger side for some time now. They took the glove compartment area apart and front base of windshield cover (outside) without resolve anything. I took it in 3x already. I notice same thing about driver seat. I just try to condition to it more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1122 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I don't think there's a service bulletin, no.The problem with conditioning it more at this point is the damage is already there. And conditioning leather more than once a month seems excessive to me. I told someone on SS I'd take some interior pictures today so maybe I'll get some showing what I mean.
