I researched a few vehicles and liked this car because it could fit four adults and a car seat comfortably. The base engine feels stronger than my v-6 mustang. It has good traction and it is well designed inside and out. I also enjoyed the 100k pre-owned warranty from volvo came with it even though I bought it from a private party. I would recommend this car to others.

S80 owner - 2nd time

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.

Wonderful Car - Fun to Drive

The 6 cyl (non-turbo) moves this full- sized car very well. I look for excuses to go for drives (or steal it away from my wife & take it to work!). The trunk is very roomy. The Safety features are and have been one of the primary hallmarks of Volvo – they don’t come much higher rated

I've had Volvos for years. The last Volvo I had had 300,000 Miles on it when I sold it for $1,000. I just sold this one with over 200,000 on it for $ 1,000 and bought a 2007 Volvo XC90.

I have been very pleased with the car. Rides nice, gauges easy to read. Cell phone built into the steering wheel very handy. Very easy to find yourself speeding down the interstate well over the speed limit.
