Used 1999 Volvo S80 Consumer Reviews
Great Car, Bought another one!
I owned this vehicle for 30 months, putting 45k miles on it. It performed flawlessly. There was a recall on the ball joint assembly, which wasn't broken, but replaced anyway. My brother bought the car and is very happy with it. I bought a new 2002 S80 with updated tires (Pirelli)
1999 Volvo
Have enjoyed this particular vehicle but am disappointed with the computor system...too many problems with engine warning signs, etc. Also, sound system is not very good. A very comfortable auto however.
Solid but not flashy look or performance
Solid car and reliable if not uninspiring. Surprising strong at higher rpms, surprising sluggish at lower rpms. Looks are modest, interior design nice, comfortable. Traction control lacking, particularly given it's fwd. Brakes are excellent. Fold down rear seat great for cargo. One light out in the center console...never replaced...$80 price quote...always lights out on our Volvo's V70's, XC, and S80.
It's getting traded in!!
What can I say this thing is like a boat...happy day when you get it and even happier when you sell it! Get this junker out of my life....I'm getting killed on the resale and I'm thrilled! I'm just so sick of the redundant issues and poor quality. Volvo, my Grandpa would be ashamed of you...he owned nothing but Volvos his whole life! Only two good things to say 1. Never left me stranded 2.Fun to drive when running right (so not too often)! I'M FREE...I'M FREE!!!!!
I have a bad feeling...
I have had this car for a year now and have been satisfied but recently small problems have been arising and I have a bad feeling about it. There is a warning about the emission system that is quite alarming and though the car was advertised as a gas saver I'm averaging about 21 mpg. I love the car but am thinking about getting rid of it because for the price I don't feel it is going to hold up like it should.
