Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Excellent value for money, mine has all the toys and goodies, brilliant as i only paid 7k for it.
Costs
Good fuel economy for such a big car, better on the motorways then local driving will do 450 mile to a tank on motorway and local driving if driven with a light foot but parts are very expensive.

On the road
Driving
Excellent to drive, very smooth and quite, has good handling but no sports car, its a big cruiser, super on the motorway, better then any other car have driven, better than Mercedes E-Class and 5-Series.
Performance
Super performance, very quick, even with a gentle foot it will accelerate very quickly, not many cars can keep up with it once it starts to go, ultimate wolf in sheep's clothing

Living with it
Reliability
I bought it in February, no major problems, have had a few minor problems, which were very expensive to sort out.
Image
It's an excellent car which does not get the credit it deserves, it will do everything you expect from it, the only thing that lets it down is badge prejudice. I'm not in to all that rubbish of image and I love my S80 T6.
Comfort
Volvo make the best seats in the world, the comfort in this car puts its German rivals to shame, ride can be a bit to firm on poor roads, apart from that its a super mile muncher and cruiser
