XC60 Review and Offroad Mod Report
I have recently acquired a late model of the previous generation XC60 T5 AWD with the aim of replacing my aging Freelander 2 i6 (which in turn had replaced a 2008 VW Tiguan TDi T&F and before that a 2001 Subaru Forester 2.0)
The Volvo is every bit as good - and in some respects considerably better - offroad than the car it replaced, although I did not initially think so. The links below - to a local 4x4 forum (South African) - firstly describes in review format what my initial thoughts and considerations were, as well as some aspects that required changing. The second link describes the execution of these changes as well as their subsequent evaluation. https://www.4x4community.co.za/forum...vo-XC60-Review https://www.4x4community.co.za/forum...quot-sand-quot |

Glad to see someone is putting one to proper use - they are very capable as AWD vehicles. Running gear the same as some Land Rover's but with better engines.
