CONS: Only had the car for 3 month, can't think of any.

REVIEW: I wanted a full size luxury sedan that isn't too flashy, and this car is just perfect for me. Lots of useful features. The car even tells you if there's a car next to you in your blind spot and warns you if you drive too close and didn't break. ...

CONS: The navigation system belongs in the 1990s; no manual transmission yet again.

REVIEW: The best Volvo sedan yet. The AWD wipes out the torque steer you might expect. Turbocharging has always delivered a crazy amount of torque for Volvo and I would always choose a turbo charged engine over a non-turbo. This is the only reason to stay away from the entry level 3.2 model. It is ...

CONS: The only one I can think of is that it doesn't have one of the German badges!

REVIEW: Upgraded my 3.2 S80 to buy this one and am not regretting passing on a BMW 530 at all. The car is comfortable almost to a fault, drives and handles brilliantly and is seriously powerful for a luxury family sedan. Active cruise control, coollision warning system, blind spot indication and ...

CONS: Bluetooth has a few issues

REVIEW: I had an older S80. This is a vast improvement. I did get the 3.2 with front wheel drive. The performance from the 3.2 is at least very good and it runs very well on regular gas. The new traction control is great. Ride is firm but not hard. Basically a great value. Love the car. The ...

CONS: Could use a bit more rear seat leg room.

REVIEW: This is our sixth new Volvo and it is by far the best! The all wheel drive, integrated Bluetooth, and Dynaudio entertainment system make it incredible for trips across town or across the country. I'd put the T6 up against any BMW 5 Series in terms of comfort, reliability, and overall ...

CONS: 2nd one! Blows away the Benz and the A8 Audi.

REVIEW: Purchased the V8 loaded. What a great auto. Was a Benz fan for years until the changes in the body styles got ugly and was in and out of garages monthly.(300E & 300 SL) The Volvo only goes in for basic service. The quiet ride and performance especially what is under the hood is an absolute ...

CONS: Starting to look too 'Ford-like' for my taste. I've owned Volvos since 1983. Ford should leave.

REVIEW: As the owner of an '01 Euro XC-70 (P2), '92 Euro 854 GTAS (850/s-70), and '83 240 GL (antique status now, 290K miles). They all have been reliable until the 2002's where the 'other' influence began to interfere with Sweden's designs to make them cheaper. My Euro ...

CONS: Unforseen Volvo expenses such as seat suddenly malfunctioning, expensive parts and labor for maint.

REVIEW: Volvo has been a pretty good car till it starts getting to 2-3 year old. Maintenance can be very expensive due to original parts prices. Fuel economy is a big concern nowadays in addition to over priced sedans. Selection of color though can be exceptionally good. Crash test has proven Volvo to ...
