S80 Volvo with brawn, but less brain.

Performance and general interior and exterior styling are good. The seats are very comfortable, and fuel economy is reasonable for this class of car. For some odd reason you have to pull twice on the door handle to get the door to open. The first pull to unlock, and the second to actually open the door. Adaptive cruise control is my favorite tech feature, although if you come to a complete stop it disengages after a couple of seconds. Being a tech nut, my experience with the infotainment system, including navigation, has been a huge let down. Few road labels on moving map. Inputs not intuitive. No touch screen, so controls are clunky. Menus for settings etc, were hard even for the sales reps and service people to figure out. Voice commands are slow and plodding. After fresh navigation update the new database installed still had incorrect information on road accessibility. Even major freeway intersections were incorrectly configured on the map. Now get this, navigation updates have to be done with car running, and at a stop, and it takes several hours to do it, seriously. Also, if you turn off your engine and want to listen to music the car’s infotainment system will turn off after a few minutes, even though the energy required to listen to music is relatively small. Smart phone connectivity is unreliable. So for a car that claims to be tech savvy by those that represent it, I was very disappointed to find out how backward the infotainment system actually is. Which is a shame seeing as how the rest of the car is pretty good.

This is my fifth Volvo and third S80. Over the years the quality of the materials has deteriorated. In my opinion the best of the S80 cars was the 2004 2.5t AWD. After a few years the SIMULATED metal and wood on the shifting console has started to come off and bubble. On uneven surfaces the car is difficult to maintain a straight line. The steering also pulses when making turns. Overall I like the ride an comfort but if this is what the future holds for Volvo it will be my last one.

The Volvo S80 is reliable, sporty, and fun to drive. I have had mine for 10 years and absolutely love it. It handles well, still looks good. The interior is real leather and wood, It is roomy enough and seats fold down for long packages. The only complaint I have ever had is the slight hesitation when you step on the gas, it is something you have to get used to, but could be annoying for some people. Volvo told me this model has that issue, even though it is a peppy 6 cylinder.
Nice and safe car

Have had this car since new in my family. Never had any issues besides regular maintenance. Has been an amazing machine and still continues to this day with 87,500 miles on it. Not bad for it being 13 almost 14 years old. Body, trans and engine still in amazing shape and hopefully will be for years to come.
