CONS: Uses prem. gas, need to idle turbo for few minutes after hard driving.

REVIEW: I have owned a 2005 S 80 T6 for eight months and driven 8,000 miles without any trips to the dealer, except for routine maintenance provided at no cost by Volvo. The car has run flawlessly through last summer's heat and this winter's snow. I have enjoyed the power that the twin turbo ...

CONS: Fuel consumption

REVIEW: Well, the best car I've ever had. I live in Norway, and the car works prefectly in our rough climat. I had a MB E class before and the Volvo definitely is better. I can't wait for the new S80 which comes in 2007. The car has a 150.000 km on speedo - and I never had a problem with it. It' ...

CONS: just a lemon. had to put a used engine in at 100,000. problems all the time. computer is fried.

REVIEW: we have a1999 S-80. Purchased it new. At 90,000 miles i had to put a new engine in it. (May 2005) The computer system had never worked and it will cost too much to fix. For example the 'Check Engine' light never goes off but the volvo mechanic told me it is just a computer ...

CONS: Steering wheel vibration and engine noise at idle

REVIEW: This was a 2006 2.5T 5 cylinder rear wheel drive on a test drive. Car fits my specifications for appearance, size, comfort and safety but I am concerned about the above engine problems for a luxury car and how it would fare with AWD. Scared by bad reports of reliability in earlier S80s with the ...

CONS: Maintanence seems to be the plague of this car

REVIEW: First time buyer of the S80 T6, test drove both 2.9 and T6 models and the twin turbo is a must (this car was built to accelerate up mountains). Also drove the BMW 530i and found the vehicle a major disappointment. Both the BMW and the S80 have I6, but the BMW couldn't deliver on torque when ...

CONS: Engine a little weak, No current trip time in trip computer, Front cupholders are akward

REVIEW: I bought this car when I went to test drive a loaded S60 T5. The S60 was fun to drive, but S80 won over by delivering a true luxury feel and lots of space. It is clearly a car designed for mature, more conservative drivers and is a great choice for a family sedan - a stylish alternative to all ...

CONS: Car LIVES in the shop. Sad, but true. I love the car but HATE the service frequency.

REVIEW: Don't let the warranty run out on this car. I absolutely love everything about this car and I'm tempted to buy another one, but..everything eventually malfunctions on this car. Electronics, Cumputer, stereo, control pannel switches, sunroof, lights, emission sensors, battery, you name it... ...

CONS: The cigarette lighter doesn't stay on when the key is removed from car. Can't charge cell phone

REVIEW: I was waiting to go over 1000 miles to write a review. Car has been fantastic, bought the new 2005 2.5 T S80 with the premium package. Compared it to the BMW 5 series, the Mercedes E series and the Lexus 330. Ended up buying the Volvo because all the incentives being offered by them at the moment, ...

CONS: engine surges, breaks down all of the time, space

REVIEW: i drive a 2003 s80. a year from the purchase, it started to surge. so my wife took it in to the shop to get it fixed. now, when she came back for the car 4 days later, they CLAIMED they fixed the problem. so a month later, we were driving on the highway, the car started to surge, and it turned it ...

CONS: I cannot think of anything...

REVIEW: I never thought a man could become emotionally attached to his automobile. I mean, i have read about it in books, but I always thought that was really either fictional or whackos who had been seriously deprived in childhood. My S80 T6 changed my mind. I love this car. Sitting down shakes off the ...
