Like the Germans Used to Make.

Despite its attractive exterior, the Swedish Volvo S80 is a sensible no- nonsense sedan like the German's used to make. Yesterday my neighbor and I were noting how much more my 2004 S80 is like his old Mercedes than the current Mercedes are, both in the Volvo's sturdiness and high-quality and in its lack of Jaguar-esque friviolity. If Volvo could have completely refrained from its (admitedly minimal) use of fake wood (or any wood) in the interior, the S80 would be the worlds most perfect car.

This is my 3rd Volvo over the years and I would say this is the best so far. Great design in and out. Enough room for 4 adults . Very comfortable ride. I am thinking about brand new Volvo S80 now. I would say this car car is way underpriced as a used car.

What a steal!

I leased a new S80 a few months ago and I got a better deal than you could imagine! I had an S80 before this one and I leased it for $500 a month but when that came off lease I got a new one for $390. I was considering an Acura RL, Lexus GS and an Audi A6 but none of them compared in value. I found the volvo the most comfortable and I love the T6 engine, although it was not worth $150 more a month.

I just got this car a couple of days ago, and it is great! The power of the car is incredible and there is so much room inside and it has many, many, very luxurious features.

MASTER MECHANIC

Volvo's are the best cars built,I own three and I'm about to buy another. I'm a mechanic and they are the easiest cars to work on! American cars are not worth the money because you're lucky if you get 100,000 miles out of it before it needs major work done on it because the dealers complained that they weren't making money of of selling them!
