Overview & Reviews

As a follow-up to the S80 T6 Executive, Volvo has released the T6 Elite, which combines the increased rear legroom, wider rear door openings and interior luxuries of the Executive with the convenience of a rear bench seat, thus providing room for five. Additionally, all S80s will get Emergency Brake Assistance (EBA), enhanced traction control performance and improved throttle management, resulting in quicker response in everyday driving situations. Other improvements include color-coordinated exterior trim (rather than the usual black moldings), an emergency release trunk release handle and the availability of a DVD-based navigation system and xenon headlamps. New exterior color choices are Pearl White and Black Sapphire. To commemorate the 75th anniversary of its first car, Volvo heightens comfort levels for rear-seat passengers with a special trim level. The car's wheelbase is the same, but special door hinges allow for a wider door opening in order to access a roomier rear seat. Executive leather upholstery and a sunshade are standard. A rear-seat entertainment system with dual 7-inch screens can play DVD, television or a video game. Another option is a refrigerator in the rear center armrest. The Special Edition S80 can be distinguished by the body-colored bumpers and moldings.

• Loaded with outstanding safety innovations and features, impressively fast in T6 trim, spacious backseat.

  Comfort and Style - 2002 Volvo S80
  By Jude Rafeal - December 10 - 6:56 am

  Replaced transmission under warranty at around 67K miles. Makes me wonder if this car is a keeper. What else might go wrong when it is not under warranty? Otherwise, I like the car very much. I am a Boomer and always wanted a Volvo in college.

  Excellent Car - 2002 Volvo S80
  By Jim T - August 8 - 10:00 am

  Have had this car for less than 2 weeks and already feel it is by far the best car I have ever owned. I traded in a POS 1998 BMW 740i (which i got killed on!) This car rides almost as smoothly as the beemer did, which I think says a lot considering that this is a front wheel drive vehicle. Both interior and exterior styling are incredible. Best of all you wont see a lot of these on the road unlike BMW. Thus, it gives one a feeling of being a little unique.

  Best car I ever owned! - 2002 Volvo S80
  By mr volvo s80 - July 15 - 6:03 pm

  I drive about 40,000 miles per year. That equates to about 140 miles round trip per day. I considered a 2005 Honda Accord 4dr or Toyota Camry SE, but could not see myself being happy with seats or radio, let alone the exterior styling. So I looked at a certified preowned 2002 Volvo S80 4dr sedan. This car had about 55K miles, and came with a 6yr/100k mile warranty. With the big miles I put on, I felt the better deal was to buy preowned, get a $40K+ car for half the cost of new, plus get the super comfortable seats and safety design that a Volvo is noted for. I am very happy with the experience, reliability, and dealership. I love my volvo and hope to drive it 300,000 miles or more!

  Best Car I Will Ever Own - 2002 Volvo S80
  By lauryncox - June 18 - 6:53 pm

  Love this car! Bought used, 113000 miles on it and it runs like new. Had it for a year so far and have only had to get it serviced. Runs better on premium gas - it does last a bit longer than regular though so dont let the price deter you. Great power, runs quiet, beautiful interior, cant imagine owning something better. Only complaint is that when a message like "time for regular service" or "bulb failure" appears on the message board, you have to have it erased when you fix the problem or it stays. Ive gotta say, if thats my biggest problem with this car, its a pretty great car. Great audio too. Highly recommend.

  Great car to drive. Very stylish, easy to control, and great interior comforts. Power from a standing start is not a problem and car is very steady at highway driving speeds.

  nice to the eyes - 2002 Volvo S80
  By nice car - August 23 - 4:30 am

  When the Volvo s80 first hit the market in 1999 I took a liking to it. I now own one and love it but I really dont like the fact that they wont do recalls for the front struts because I went to get mine checked and they were not very surprised that my struts were rattling and going out, they said it has been very common with Volvo, a very irritating noise and it make the car sound really junky, but other than that its a very nice car if you can deal with a rattling front end.

  Great cruiser - 2002 Volvo S80
  By gunner12 - August 17 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car just off lease (2 yr) and the service records show a few small defects (cooling fan and brake pedal position sensor)initially repaired under warranty. The car has been flawless and a very satisfying daily driver. Excellent engine smoothness, power, and fuel economy (24.6 mpg mostly city). Extremely solid and quiet body structure. Excellent sound system--one of the best Ive ever experienced. We shall see how well it does in snow soon! No negatives at all so far (4 months).
