Don't buy
Worst car I've ever owned by far. Great ride when I'm not spending money on transmission, wheel bearings, rattling moon roof, rotors, etc . . . Stay away.
First time buyer
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.
worst vehicle ever
Got to be the worst car ever made take heed of all these poor reviews they're not making this stuff up, Suspension, electrical, AC the list goes on. Seat leather worn through, constant software problems or so the dealer says. The user who said 187/mo maintenance isn't exaggerating. We've got extended warranty and still shell out a thousand a year. One positive note, I've decided to buy a jaguar knowing it couldn't be any worse and I won't mind putting money into a car that has a bit of class. If you need a reliable car get a Camry.
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.
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!!!!
Love it, Love it, Love It!
NO MORE VOLVO
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
Best Ever
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!!!
nice car but a few headaches
It's a nice design but alot of quality problems. For example; The sun roof rattled. I had the hardware replaced .It still rattles. The steering wheel had some play in it after 10,000 miles. Took it to the dealer and had it tightened. Sometimes it is hard to start (extended cranking). I took it to the dealer.They couldn't find the problem. Still gives us problems. The little sliding door in the dash snapped in two. Dealer charged us $50 to replace it. Car is sluggish, feels like a sitting duck on the expressway.Plus poor rear window visiblity. I feel safer in our smaller BMW 325xi.
Never again...
Bought 4 years old with 27k on it. 55k miles now. Know why the low miles, spent most of its life in for repairs. I spent $1200 on new shift solenoid per Volvo, which didn't fix 2nd to 3rd gear shudder. Then told me only remedy is $3500 new tranny. Didn't do that yet. Numerous phantom electrical problems. Repeated trips to clear codes, with a minimum $50 charge each time. If you are thinking of buying this model year, run away as fast as you can. See message boards and reviews. Ford didn't even own Volvo yet, so can't lay blame there. But it is a GM tranny, go figure. Will never buy another Volvo, have owned 17 vehicles in 35 years, this is worst buy far, more problems than all others combined
