2008 Volvo S80 T6 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6A)

I got a great deal on my 2008 T6 AWD S80, as it was a high mileage trade in. I paid almost nothing for it and it is the best car I have ever owned in just about all aspects. I was an avid BMW guy for many years, until I realized that BMW stood for Bavarian Maintenance Whore. I put more in maintenance on those things that I bought them for. While this particular S80 is not the color combination I would choose, meadow green with a brown dash and a tan interior, that put it firmly in the sleeper category. This thing is very quick, agile and comfortable. It is a virtual tank in the snow, I can't tell you how many Jeeps I would have tried to pull out of ditches, had I not liked this car much (but I didn't want to tear it up). The only two things I have had to fix so far were the headlight wiring (it was about $50.00 and a few hours of routing) and the air breather (it was about $75.00 and half an hour labor). It has over 200K on it and still looks, feels and rides like new. I'm a Volvo fan for life! UPDATE 07-28-20 Still loving this car, it is amazing in all weather and just pure pleasure to drive. Wanting to get an additional XC70 Cross Country too now.

I've looked over the internet an have reviewed many comparison among so call luxury sedans and the comments shared here, and what I am finding is that most people really have not driven the new S-80, 287hp, AWD,T6. I have had mine now for 19 months. If you desire sport and comfort it's a excellent choice. However, not many autos can compare to the ride the Lexus 350S in comfort, but the Lexus lacks speed, handling and power. It also is a (front wheel drive)car. However, the combination of power, and torque will change your mind about the S-80 AWd/T6, it will run with a 7 series BMW. Do you hear me!!!!!!!!!!!! Two months ago I raced a 7 series and KEPT PACE, UP TO 120MPH for 100 yds

This is a great car! We looked at BMW's/Mercedes and decided on this Volvo as we felt you pay a lot for a BMW/Mercedes name. This car drives like a dream and is SO comfortable to ride in. Have take it across country and had no back/muscle fatigue. It is very responsive, has great power and gets much better gas mileage then we expected. The T-6 is the features we were looking for in a "sports" car. The body design is very nice and we see people looking at it all the time. 4WD's are hard to find but we wanted that for the extra security when driving (lots of rain where we live). We hope to get at least 200,000 miles out of this car. Would highly recommend.
Great value

Great value for the money. Comfy ride, decent power, high safety ratings. A lease payment of under $400 on a $40K car was just impossible to pass up.
Have a Bad Back, Finally Comfortable

The Volvo S80 might be the most comfortable and supportive car on the market. My wife has had a bad back all of her life and many surgeries. This car has seats designed by chiropractors and orthopedic specialists and it beats all of the luxury cars out their for comfort, 3-level heated seats front and rear with power adjustments that make it perfect for any sized person. Combine that with whiplash protective seats, the best safety features available and you have a comfortable car that if in a collision will also protect you. I do a lot of research when buying a car and this is the car for the issues I have identified. Combine the price, build quality, engineering, comfort wow!
