Pros: Comfortable, fast
Cons: Cupholders don't hold large enough drinks
We test drove a variety of cars when we were car shopping. Of course, I liked all the speedy cars (Acura Integra, Audi A6, BMW 540) and she liked all the smooth, comfortable cars (Toyota Camry, Lexus). The only car we both agreed on was the Volvo...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Outstanding performance and luxury, high quality, 5 star crash test ratings
Cons: looks a bit too much like the '94-'97 Honda Accord
The Bottom Line: A superbly designed and uncommonly comfortable luxury car. Volvo has hit the jackpot.
To be perfectly honest, I've never liked Volvos very much. I always saw them is being stodgy, sterile and boring. I knew that some Volvos like the '93 850 GLT had somewhat of a performance image and that Volvo was trying really hard to shake its...

Pros: Decent value, comfy looking/feeling interior
Cons: Nothing to write home about in any category
The following is a review of the Volvo S80 sedan for the model year 1999. Well, maybe 2000 as well, not sure, as the cars I've dealt with were company transportation (have ridden in several in the past few months, so perhaps they are 2000s).

Pros: Quality and convenience, soothing but not boring
Cons: Don't want to drive my other cars anymore
The Bottom Line: If the high price of this car is not a problem, I highly recommend it, especially to those who appreciate well thought-out quality in preference to flash and gimmicks.
I've owned my 2000 T-6 since December of 1999 and it has been a very enlightening experience. I am a little concerned this car has spoiled me to the point I will always need to buy more expensive cars even though previously I had always been quick to...

Pros: classic beauty, safety, smooth ride

I just bought a 2000 S80 in January. I have had a Volvo before (1987 Sedan) and always appreciated the safety features though, thankfully, I never had an opportunity to test them. While shopping for this Volvo, I drove the whole line. When I drove the...

Volvo S80
Volvo has always brought to my mind the idea of safety and boring suburban smothering stodginess. I figured this would be my commuter car when I was in my forties. They were boxy and safe and rolled down the roads like yuppie tanks. Volvo...

Pros: Nice appearance.
Cons: Too many to list.
As a former Volvo Service Manager, I have seen my fair share of S-80's come into the shop. Most with service emissions indicators, blinkers flashing quickly, Airbag service required, and yes, my favorite, the burnt out headlight bulb.

I wanted something different and found it when I entered a Volvo dealership. There it was, in all it's shiny, silver splendor: the Volvo S80! It's distinct, yet attractive grill let me know I was looking at a Volvo, however, the new look of the S80 was...

Pros: Looks good
Cons: Expensive to have.
The Bottom Line: Don't buy if your looking for a long lasting car.
My husband and I purchased the 2000 Volvo S80 back in 2002. Right away we had to send it back to the dealership for a brake issue. The brakes still don't work all that great because the previous owner had replaced them with a non-Volvo brake. Can't say ...
