The Volvo S80 is one of the industry's best kept secrets. While not flashy or grabbing headlines it provides dependable, comfortable transportation. Handing is accurate and secure while the ride can be a bit stiff on rough roads but by and large is very comfortable. Best of all we have not had one problem with this car, now at 75,000 miles. I can see why owners keep them for so long. Ours is going on 11 years and feels and looks like new! One other point of mention: the seats are the best in the business. We might keep it another 5 years.

My 3rd Volvo S-60x2 now S-80. I love volvos always have and will. I bought this one used from City Auto in Memphis. No complaints what so ever. Sturdy Dependable, sleek, comfortable.....Good gas mileage, Reasonable maintenance. If you need a good Volvo mechanic in Memphis TN call Swedish Solutions, he specializes in only Volvo.....Love the car wouldn't trade it for anything except another Volvo.

This is my 2nd S80 in leasing. The package is really competitive and impressive. The service in Volvo of Princeton, NJ is very good. The absolutely valued luxury car! Better than BMW 5 and Audi A6 in overall. Why pay more $10k for the same level car. I recommend to purchase or lease Volvo S80. Excellent in all of interior & exterior appearance, Handling & Safety. The drive is very smooth & quilt. great performance. Seats are very comfortable.

My 2nd Volvo (2007 S-40) and again I was impressed with the interior and exterior style and quality. Bought a demo (4k miles) and knocked off 11k bringing the total to 29k and change. The ride is outstanding, especially for long distances. The sandstone interior is airy and sumptuous. Very comfortable seating. The stereo is again outstanding, along w/ the roominess. First large car that I've owned and it has been a A+ experience w/ Volvo.

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.
