Overview & Reviews
For 2006, the Volvo S80's T6 and T6 Premier trims have been deleted, as has their twin-turbo engine. Leather seats, a power moonroof, wood trim, a power passenger seat, 17-inch alloy wheels, T6-style "watch dial" instrumentation and sport seats are now standard on 2.5T models. Models equipped with all-wheel drive get a new electronically controlled all-wheel-drive system.
- Supportive front seats, spacious backseat, soothing ride, optional all-wheel drive.

Solid, but feaures should work better - 2006 Volvo S80
By Spike12 - February 16 - 2:56 amA very solid and easy car to drive. Power comes on somewhat unevenly but not as bad as Passat. Turn-in is very nice. Brakes are good too. Overall pretty smooth but noisy on coarse pavement. Ride can be somewhat harsh. Coming from a Caddy SLS I find that some of the controls are not nearly as easy or as thoroughly designed in their use. Much better seating and leg room both front and back.

Great car except.... - 2006 Volvo S80
By Pete - May 13 - 2:00 amI love everything about this car except the gas mileage. The dealer told me that I could expect to get up to 24 mpg around town (really, I asked twice and had it confirmedÂ…Volvo only says 20 mpg). I am lucky to get 17.5 mpg, and I am driving very conservatively (with a combo of local and highway). When I asked the Dealer, I was told that the mileage was probably due to the car being AWD. Funny, that isnt what he said when he was trying to sell me the car. Also, Dealer said to use regular gas (in spite of Volvo recommending super unleaded). I am in the process of upgrading my fuel and hoping to see the numbers improve. Otherwise, I love this car.
