Volvo S-80 Turbo Outstanding

This car is finally what I wanted. I tried the earlier versions, they didn't quite have it. The new S-80 T6 relaly has the power and acceleration needed in this car. They somehow tinkered with the transmission and gave it more life. The interior is very nice, and comfortable. Lumbar supolrt adkjustments are standard (as is thle moon roof, special transmission, and excellent stereo). I'm buying another one this year.

I have driven trucks for the last 10 years and never thought I would find a car that I wanted but the very first time I sat in my S80 T6 I was sold for life. It has been worth every dime of the selling price. The salesman did not have to sell me this car he just took my order. It is beautiful. I look for reasons to have to drive.

This car has ruined my life.

only 63,000 miles and the "No oil pressure" "stop vehicle" light comes on, I had to have the vehicle towed to the dealership and the repairs are well over $1800.00 which I cannot afford. I am NO LONGER ABLE TO GO TO COLLEGE!!! since I have no car and have no way of getting there. This car is a money pit and has literally ruined my life.

This is my second S80 and I am not disappointed. The car has been refined and improved but the basic solid comfort and superior performance continue. A pleasure to drive particularly on the highway. Responsive, predictable, dependable. A great vehicle!
