Used 2006 Volvo S80 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Best Car I've Ever Had
I bought my 2006 S80 in 2013 for $6,400. At the time, it had 134,000 miles. I just passed 190,000 miles and had my first mechanical issue since owning the car. And it was a minor repair on an engine coil. Other than that, it's just been basic maintenance. Far and away the most reliable car I've owned. Great acceleration and near flawless Volvo safety features. And still looks sharp. People often comment on the car, not realizing that it's 11 years old and barely cost me anything. I'm hopeful to find another S80 for my next vehicle.

My all-time favorite car!
What a joy to drive. Handles great, comfortable. Feel totally confident and secure. Amazing such a safe car has such a lovely, almost sporty feel to a luxurious ride. Sumptuous. Perfect size.

What You'd Expect From Volvo
This car is underpowered, but typical of most turbos there is a lag from pressing the gas until the turbo kicks in. This car does better at higher speeds - think of it as a highway cruiser. I drive mostly highway using premium fuel and average 23 to 24 mpg. There is a 2nd A/C outlet on the center console facing backseat that is good for folks needing more than 1 outlet (just snake your cord between console and seat if you need to be tidy). Paint finish is excellent. Interior comfort is excellent. Great value.
A refined weakling
I didn't buy this car for the power... and it's a good thing. Acceleration is poor at best. My 2002 Toyota 4Runner SUV seemed to have better acceleration. Handling is a bit sketchy as well. HOWEVER, what I did buy this car for... comfort, safety, quality, value - it's a homerun. Compared against some of the other luxury sedans, this is a value buy and a good entry level luxury sedan. It may disturb many that Volvo is now owned by Ford, but rest assured that Volvo has been able to keep quality issues to a minimum.

One of the best cars I have owned. Unmatched service and care by the dealer!
