Finally, an enjoyable car to own!Source: Edmunds
...To begin with, I've owned an Infiniti Q45, an older Jaguar (1987), two Bmw's and now a Volvo. |

Would buy again...Source: Edmunds...I am getting about 19mpg city and 26mpg highway; not bad for a 4000lb tank. The seats are EXTREMELY comfortable and the vehicle feels very solid all around. I feel very safe in this car and would not drive anything else because Volvo does not cut corners on safety. They had side airbags STANDARD in 1998, WOW! The American and Japanese automakers cannot touch Volvo's safety record. Knock on wood, I haven't had anything major go wrong with it, just a broken popup cup holder. Like most cars, the Volvos will love you if you give them some love. Maintain them and you shouldn't worry about... |

Please stay away from this car.Source: Edmunds
...I bought the car last year and has been a big vacuum due to all the repairs. |

The KlunkerSource: MSN Autos...Overall: In the last 9 months the car has had 11 issues. The car is in the shop more than it is on the road. The car has developed a klunking noise in the right rear that the dealer has tried to fix 5 times. Currently the car is in the shop for the sixth time for this same issue. The dealer has tried, but Volvo corporate seems to have given up on this car line. I wonder if William Clay Ford cares about Volvo and what he thinks? I would strongly recommend that you not purchase this car... |

You'll be happySource: MSN Autos
...Pros: Great car for the price. Let go of a 2008 Volvo S-80 at lease end. |

Great car when under WarrantySource: MSN Autos...Last 6 months repairs have exceeded the selling value and the dealership has now informed that they have to change one ECU unit and that will set me back £1400/US$2200 to be able to figure out what other ECU units will need replacing. The cost for computer readout was £216/US$350 without any repairs. I have had enough and decided to cut my losses and scrap the car I had expected to do many years and many miles. Overall: I also have an 11 year old Mercedes E320 that has done 160k miles and that is a cheap car to keep on the road in parts and service compared to the Volvo. My advice is to do... |

Best Bang For The BuckSource: Edmunds
...I chose the Volvo S80 as I wanted a safe vehicle, with good styling, and performance. |

excellent qualitySource: Cars.com..."This car met all of our expectations. It is very comfortable, quiet and pleasure to drive. This is our 2nd volvo and we are very pleased with it."... |

I love itSource: Edmunds...It has about 18/25 mph, not too bad for 196hp engine. I used snow tires in winter and don't have any problem (I live in upstate NY and have enough snow). I had some problems with electronics, especial in winter. Throttle Body Control Module - was fixed, but THIS PART HAS 10 YEARS VOLVO's WARRANTY, I didn't spent any cent for repair that at volvo dealer. Actually, official dealership maintenance is little bit expensive, but I have near dealer which works only with Volvo cars long time. Same quality, but more cheap:). I spent about $1000 for three years, but I think it is normal for luxury car... |
