car is great when running. but the electronics suck big time. they've replaced more sensors than exist in any other car i think. dealership is terrible. can't wait for lease to end. too bad though, because when the car is running right - it's a pleasure to drive
You should be warned

My wife and I had thought this was the car of the ages. We were looking forward to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd badge. As we approach the 1st badge(100K) we must again drive 120 miles to our neighborhood Volvo dealer to be told my control module computer is out(3rd one) and it will be $800 for est repairs and no the unit is not warranted. If you read the posts they speak for themselves. A great car to drive but a nightmare to own. Someone should be slapped for letting this thing out to the market place. I should have bought the Maxima at the time. I could have bought a new maxima this year with the money I would have saved over the last 6 years.

Let me set it straight, for those of you that have issues with the S80, GET THE SOFTWARE UPGRADED!!!!! It's free and it only has to be done once. You will soon see with the new software, the 1999 S80 will become the most dependable car you've ever owned. I called Volvo and they really explained the upgrade to me. This car has what's called a multiplex system, and once upgraded, it's more dependable than anything out there. It's like a new car with the new software. Definately much more dependable than Toyota's and Honda's. I now have about 50,000 miles and I wouldn't trade it for the world! I love it!
High Maintenance

Volvo T6 is generally a great car, but... The maintenance required, frequency of failures, and quality (and high price) of parts means I would never have bought it "if I had known." Examples: replaced the computer chip regulating gas flow 3 times (at $600 parts plus labor), replaced the fuel pump twice, same prices.
Bad Ergonomics

The S80 dashboard layout & ergonomics are a nightmare! so many little identical or nearly identical knobs for different features. Inst panel lights fade in bright light. "DRLs" are really headlights on at full strength - too bright & burns out bulbs real fast. The turbo sucks - too much lag. Give me an honest V8 (or even a full powered six). The power steering is overly sensitive. The traction control is a joke & gets you stuck in the snow even with premium snow tires. The only plus is a crashworthy design. I doubt I will ever buy another Volvo. What a screw deal!!
