Sitting in this vehicle is comfortable but Ido not like the center console. It is not convenient to have a cup of coffee while driving. And that mickey mouse pop-up console drives me baty as it doesn't hold anything properly. i also dislike the control for the side view mirrors. Your 1986 model was much more efficient. I hate having to hit the right or left first then adjust. I've had better steering wheel adjustments. Take the 1983 Tyota for instance. I don't really feel I have complete control of this vehicle. It in a way controls me. And I would prefer push button passing gear..like the '91 240for instance. Also there's not enough room for C.D storage nor does it fit properly.

What a great car! Easy to drive, quiet, smooth and elegant interior. When I get in MY S80 I feel like a million dollars. This is my first Volvo and I doubt I will ever buy from any other manufacturer again. I had a terrific buying experience (can you believe that..a terrific buying experience for a car?!?!?) and could not be happier with the vehicle.

2004 Volvo S80 2.5T AWD 4dr Sedan (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 5A)

I never owned a Volvo until I bought this for my wife. It quickly found its way into my hands - a deal I could only swing by agreeing to buy her a new XC70 wagon as a replacement. Neither of us can imagine owning any other brand now. This car is perhaps the most complete vehicle one can own. It has just about everything - unsurpassed safety, good performance, acceptable reliability, room, AWD, the most comfortable seats I've ever experienced, and an understated elegance. I have around 8000 miles now and have had no problems. Like other reviewers, I now look for any excuse to drive. Despite Ford's ownership - this is still a Volvo at heart. I absolutely love it.
Great Car

I own 2 Volvo's XC 90 and S80 The S80 is a great car. Lots of power, fun to drive, comfortable after 8 hrs of driving, you don't feel beat up. I am waiting for the V-8 to come out this winter.

My first S80 was a 2001 and frankly it did not inspire me to purchase another one. If not for the other two people in my company that didn't want to switch vehicles it would have been a BMW or an Infiniti this time around. This car though has proven to be what the prior Volvo wasn't - solid with good handling and speed. All in all I think this time they got it right.
