Best car I've ever owned, minor problems

This car is, bar none, the most fun car I've ever driven. The combination of the good handling, lots of power, and immense interior comfort all add up the the best driving experience ever. I've had a few issues, with this car I purchased at 44000 miles (with Certified warranty plan). The radiator fan controller stopped working, the sunroof mechanism needed minor repairs, and the front brakes needed repair. There were all kinds of sundry items that needed to be repaired (trim panels, stuff like that), but that is true with any used car. The problems were solved quickly and efficently by my dealer. I would wholeheartedly reccomend this car.

We have always driven Fords or Dodges. Since the children are growen we wanted to buy something more adult oriented and classy. I love my Volvo so far, I feel so special driving it, when heads turn and comments are made about the looks of it. So far no problems.
Never again

It's a shame that a top notch mfrg. like Volvo would let the engine quality slip to non existent.Yes, it's safe and comfortable, but high maintenance-- unbelieveable. In one year, I spent over $4k in tires (only 2 types fit the rims) and constant repairs i.e. every 10k youhave to clean the electronic throttle (I did twice in a yr) or it will surge. Never again!

Solid driving car. Delivers excellent performance with very good fuel economy. Still the best styled car on the road.
Great Car Until It Breaks

Had my S80 T6 for 18 months from 22K to 40K miles. During that time, the following failed or broke: upper strut mounts (2), oxygen sensor, mass flow sensor, motor mount, lower control arm, strut assembly, front brake rotors, ABS control unit, turbo oil return line, dashboard clock, ignition switch, turn signal switch, headlight assembly, exterior trim piece, door trim piece, etc., etc. Additionally, when I sold it, one of the turbos was blowing oil and the transmission shifts had gotten mushy (neither of which the dealership was willing to correct). Other than that, it was the best car you could ever own. It was fast, handled great, and was very comfortable. It also got about 20 mpg.
A lot of hype

Had problems from Day 1. My first S80 T6 had to be shipped back to Sweden for diagnosis. On the replacement,the sight lines are so bad that these are dangerous; there is not a blind "spot," there is a right blind side. Transmission doesn't always shift properly; it sometimes reverses when it says "drive," parks when it says "reverse," etc. And the car shakes when one goes from 0 to 5 on a dry surface! (Like pulling out of a red light.) The doors do not close tightly. All in all, a lot of hype.
poor quality service

Too many mechanical problems. More than all 4 of my Vorger Vans added to gether with many more miles. Service is very frendly and make efforts to be helpful. But the quality of their mechanics is questionable. It would be very helpful if Volvo would publish a manual for this car,(not an on line manual), so that the owner can show the mechanic how to find or fix the problem.
What a car!!!!

I wish i had done my research before I bought this 2000 S80T. It's been nothing but trouble. I loved the look of the car in simply NOT RELIABLE. Volvo are very pricey cars for them to be so unreliable. I had to replace so many things and i've always maintained it so well and always dealer maintained. but i'm done with this company

It's the smoothest ride I've ever experienced. Inside, it feels like a car of much bigger size. Extremely roomy. Very comfortable seats. The standard features are incredible. All this and safety, too!!!
