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.
The truth about the S80

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!

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.
Simply Awesome!

I've had my 99 S80 for almost 4 years now and over 50,000 miles. It's incredible! That's the best way I can describe it. I really can't find anything that is not perfect on this car. I did have one defect on the car which was warranty. That's why I rated it a 9 and not a 10 for the build quality. I really feel this is a perfect car. Other repairs have been software upgrade (solves all issues with these cars) and ball joints replaced under a recall. If you want a good reliable, safe car, this is it.
Best Car in it's Class!

Our BMW was totalled and we had to find a new car fast. We researched everything! We picked up an S80 T6 and let me say this, we couldn't be any happier! We paid close to $50,000 with the taxes. This car has been such a joy. The car did have an initial problem with a sensor but the dealer upgraded the software in the car and from that point it has never had any type of service aside from regular maintenance. It now has 74,000 miles and runs like it did off the showroom floor. They do it for free! I will never go back to BMW after owning the S80. Drive a T6 to see how nice these things are. You will be so happy with this car.
