I believe I own the best European car on the market. Maybe not the best in every category, but definitely the biggest bang for the buck. I love the ride, safety, and the awesome reliability. In 73000 miles, I've had a position light burn out-- that's it. I love this car from the outside in. I bought my S80 with 6 miles on it, and I plan on driving it until the odometer stops turning and the wheels fall off. And last but not least, I've experienced very competent Volvo after sale service.

Bought a used 2000 S80 Turbo for a "safe, reliable, and comfortable" commuter vehicle. Well, its definitely comfortable, and safe from all accounts I've read, but reliable? HA! I've had this car 4 months and its been in the shop for SEVEN weeks total! Electrical problems with message center, faulty parts installed on a routine 60,000 mile service, and the transmission went out at 70,000 miles. Followed service manual to a T, and this is what I get for a $45,000 car? I'm going back to Chevrolet.

Have owned one Porsche, two BMWs, one Mercedes, and now two VOLVOs. I have enjoyed driving this S80 as much as any owned except the Porsche. I bought the S80 because of looks,room,perfomance, and reliability of the previous VOLVO 850. Everything as expected EXCEPT reliability. ELectrical problems, front suspension, transmission,A/C,power window, radio, brakes. This car is maintenance intensive and it is a shame because when everything is working correctly it is a great car. Won,t own another

After "upgrading" to Volvo from American, I'm going back. Many good features, but not worth the maintenance and repair costs--and they won't stand by their product. They admit that there are bugs in the 2000 model, but I'm paying the enormous costs. Problems: Electronic Throttle Module replacement, A/C, ABS module, bulbs burning out, suspension, rattles, fan assembly, etc... Not worth the premium paid and buying into the Volvo quality/saftey image!
Wish we'd read the reviews first

Loved the car overall but our '94 Jeep Cherokee with 230k miles is more dependable. After several repairs of one kind or another, she started hesitating. Trusted mechanic said it was throttle body covered by extended warranty so take it to them for free replacement. Local dealer charged $100 for diagnostic and said it needed $3000 head gasket. Not so local dealer charged $100 for diagnostic and said it needed a $2300 head gasket. Car currently sitting at trusted mechanic's lot waiting for retired Volvo mechanic who agrees it's the throttle body to come fix it. It's been 5 months. Tomorrow we're buying a Lexus.
