This Year's Model Updates:

The S80 received a minor refresh this year that includes a modified grille, additional chrome trim and a revised rear fascia for the exterior along with a new gauge cluster and door panels for the interior. Volvo's Four-C adjustable suspension is a new option on all trim levels. All-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive versions of the 2.5T will be added midyear, but neither can be ordered in conjunction with the Four-C suspension. Finally, the T6 Premier replaces the T6 Elite as the top trim level.

Pros:
  • Loaded with outstanding safety innovations and features, quick on its feet in T6 trim, spacious backseat, soothing ride.
Cons:

  • What a steal! - 2004 Volvo S80
    By -

    I leased a new S80 a few months ago and I got a better deal than you could imagine! I had an S80 before this one and I leased it for $500 a month but when that came off lease I got a new one for $390. I was considering an Acura RL, Lexus GS and an Audi A6 but none of them compared in value. I found the volvo the most comfortable and I love the T6 engine, although it was not worth $150 more a month.

    i bought this car at a Volvo specialist center in 2012 with 125,000 miles for just 7,998. I was going to use it for a year, due to a short term job in New York, so I didnt really care about what it was. My mom drives a C70 and told me to buy the car. It has been absolutely fantastic, now in 2015 we have 156,000 miles on it and its still going strong. There have been some expensive maintenance costs (150$-550$ services) and also suspension and axle components (1000$ over the years) but the thing to remember is that its European and our X5 costs 3 times more to maintain. For such a nice car Im willing to pay some more. It is important to note that I go to a local Volvo service specialty shop, and NOT A DEALER. Prices are about half what I would pay there, and even more savings for used parts. Also this car is ultra safe, my two kids learned to drive in this car, and this holiday season I plan to give it to my oldest... And of course as a replacement Ill be sure to buy the new XC90. The best thing about this car is the amount of small features that really add up: price, gas mileage (I get 35 on i40 even when the epa says 26, and yes I actually calculated it along with the trip computer), safety, (there are 6 giant airbags and stability control is an option fitted to my car), cold starts (never had a problem in -20 weather, AV/heat( the best ever, Im never hot or cold for more than a minute, and the seats are so supremely comfortable. And thats all for 8,000$!!!! Be advised: the 2004-2006 models have a stronger reliability record than the 1998-2003 (preface lift model)

  • 3rd Ones a Charm - 2004 Volvo S80

    3rd Volvo in 13 years; this one is superior. . With 2 booster seats, the extra rear passenger surpasses all other models in its class. The ride is extremely smooth, my wife is prone to car sickness, not in the S80 Its nice to drive a lux sedan that has a bit of "individual personality"; doesnt look like all of its German and Japaneese counterparts with their "generic hi-tech" styling.. Kudos to Volvo for entering the new millenium and exporting their traditional safety and reliabilty to a style and level of comfort that is world class.

  • S80 owner - 2nd time - 2004 Volvo S80

    Great ride, smooth performance, very responsive to breaking and accelaration - superior quality! Owned a 2K S80 which was totalled in a meeting with a power pole (perfect safety performance in the accident with no broken glass and no significant injuires). I immediately came back for the 2004 2.9. Easy to drive, very adequate acceleration at highway speeds.

    I have already driven it 10,000 miles and have really enjoyed the experience. The people in the back seat have as great experience as those in the front.

  • MY Volvo - 2004 Volvo S80
    By -

    What a great car! Easy to drive, quiet, smooth and elegant interior. When I get in MY S80 I feel like a million dollars. This is my first Volvo and I doubt I will ever buy from any other manufacturer again. I had a terrific buying experience (can you believe that..a terrific buying experience for a car?!?!?) and could not be happier with the vehicle.

    I own 2 Volvos XC 90 and S80 The S80 is a great car. Lots of power, fun to drive, comfortable after 8 hrs of driving, you dont feel beat up. I am waiting for the V-8 to come out this winter.

  • outstanding car, s80 - 2004 Volvo S80
    By -

    We purchased our S80 back in January and We are very pleased with its performance and reliability thus far. We had a 1978 volvo 244dl that we drove for 22 years and we sold it with 265,000 miles on it 3 years ago, and every now and then we still see it on the road. So we have nothing negative to say about volvo and will drive them forever, infact we just took delivery of our new volvo XC90, and its everything they say it is. Thanks Volvo
