This is a great car ! I liked my 2001 model so much that I bought the exact same car, color, and options again in a 2003 model. Cross country trips are a breeze loaded up with the partner and the animals ! Now located in TX, we continue to enjoy this vehicle and will buy another next year. A few changes to the styling would be nice and some more insulation to make it as quiet as a Lexus would be even better. Volvo seats are unbeatable. This one is Volvo # 9 for this family along with many second cars including BMW, MERCEDES, VW, LEXUS, and others.

3rd Volvo in 13 years; this one is superior. . With 2 booster seats, the extra rear passenger surpasses all other models in it's class. The ride is extremely smooth, my wife is prone to car sickness, not in the S80 It's nice to drive a lux sedan that has a bit of "individual personality"; doesn't look like all of it's German and Japaneese counterparts with their "generic hi-tech" styling.. Kudos to Volvo for entering the new millenium and exporting their traditional safety and reliabilty to a style and level of comfort that is world class.

Never thought about a Volvo

I have never owned a volvo or have know anyone to own a volvo. Was working with a dealer and he talked me in to driving one. Wow!! I was hooked from that point on. It drives great looks good and has all the pick up that I need. Had my heart set on a Lexus, but not after driving the Volvo. Love it and will look for another one when I need a car. I have taken it on 2 long trips already and I get over 30 miles to the gallon. If you haven't driven one don't wait. It is very comfortable and I'm not a little guy either.

2 owner car, I am the 2nd. Yes repairs are expensive. I have replaced the suspension (front and back), the wheel bearings (front and back), the exhaust (which my mechanic made, because it costs more to buy than to make), and the brakes (front and back). The other side of the coin is, I live in Iowa. The last blizzard we had, I drove 35 miles on back roads to get home because the interstate was closed. I drove past pick-up trucks stuck in drifts. I made it home without worry because of the weather package in my car. It idles down to 700 rpm within 30 seconds even at -20. The brakes on this specific model are very powerful for the size of the car. If you hit the breaks at 35 it will stop before that light you thought you’d catch, anything not bolted downed will be on the floor, but it will stop. The rear headrests fold down at the push of a button giving full view through the rear window, given no one is sitting back there. It’s also fun to push the button to smack someone in the back of the head when they mouth off. The specs say it does an average of 21 mpg, mine gets that in town and up to 32 mpg on the highway. As with all cars, it depends on how you drive it. Also, cruise sets at 20. Set it and can forget it. Beware, it shifts at 35. If that is the limit where you live it will effect your gearbox.
