This is our second Volvo and were "sold". We're sold on the safety features, fuel economy, "green" exhaust system, overall comfort and handling, styling and most of all, dealer attention and courtesy.

This car is replacing a 2002 S-60 2.4. It out classes the S-60 in all categories except handling through turns.

Proud Volve Owner

This car is truly worth the money. This is the first volvo I have ever owned and probably would never buy any other car. I have to say it handles as well as a BMW. This sedan is spacious, even with 3 kids in the back, and one of them in a car seat. The car is a very classy car but yet it has a nice sporty flare. The turbo definitely gets this car out of its own way. The most important factor is its safety rating. That is why I bought a Volvo in the first place. All the features and controls are easy to reach without feeling like your going out of your way, or taking your eyes off the road. Highly recommend this car to anyone who wants extra value and safety for their buck!!

We purchased our S80 back in January and We are very pleased with its performance and reliability thus far. We had a 1978 volvo 244dl that we drove for 22 years and we sold it with 265,000 miles on it 3 years ago, and every now and then we still see it on the road. So we have nothing negative to say about volvo and will drive them forever, infact we just took delivery of our new volvo XC90, and it's everything they say it is. Thanks Volvo

Great ride, smooth performance, very responsive to breaking and accelaration - superior quality! Owned a 2K S80 which was totalled in a meeting with a power pole (perfect safety performance in the accident with no broken glass and no significant injuires). I immediately came back for the 2004 2.9. Easy to drive, very adequate acceleration at highway speeds.
