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.

Better than expected - 2002 Volvo S80
By cb - June 7 - 5:10 pmI was familiar with the bad rap the early S80s received and bought a 2002 anyway for my wife. It was under warranty and I figured the bugs should be worked out by now. So far the car has been wonderful to drive and own. Weve had zero problems and my wife absolutely loves it. The 2.9 NA motor has decent power but is by no means a hot rod. Fuel economy is superb for such a large car and it is extremely smooth and quiet.

Its a great car!! - 2002 Volvo S80
By Verysafecar - March 13 - 10:00 amI bought my Volvo S80 late last year and I really do love it. It is the safest car I have driven, and so-o-o much better than my old S70. It is wonderful for long trips, although I wish that there was more leg room in the back. I love the dual seat heaters, too, and finally, they put the radio controls on the wheel and vents in the back!! I cant imagine that anyone who buys one would be disappointed

S80 is Super - 2002 Volvo S80
By Go Noles - October 25 - 10:00 amWe looked at alot of cars, for over three years. The S80 is simply the best car for the money. My wife and I literally fight over who gets to drive the S80.

too soo to tell... - 2002 Volvo S80
By Ed Malcolm - August 25 - 10:00 amI like my S-80, but I cant say I love it. When I bought my 90 Hoda Accord EX I loved it. But that was an upgrade over an 86 Escort, so maybe just the comparison was more extreme. I see now why Volvo makes a Turbo, pick-up leaves something to be desired. I had a real problem getting comfortable in the drivers seat for a while, but one of us has adjusted. Had to have an airbag replaced twice now.

Great car so far!! - 2002 Volvo S80
By dlewin - July 19 - 2:00 amIve seen several complaints about quality in the earlier models, but so far this car is excellent! (only 1000 miles). Very smooth & quiet ride and great T6 power. This car feels really solid when cruising along at high or low speeds.

Great! - 2002 Volvo S80
By Jim Howards - May 13 - 10:00 amI first checked out other cars such as Cadillac, Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes Benz. I didnt think Volvo could compare with such companies, but it did. I feel safe when driving and like a nascar driver because this car has lots of power! It is great in highway driving. No trouble getting up to speed and passing is a breaze too. City driving with this car is fun. My golf buddies have plenty of room in the back. Trunk space is plentyful when I am hauling 4 golf bags and boxes of golfshoes in there.

T6 - 75th edition - 2002 Volvo S80
By northland - March 20 - 10:00 amno comparison to the S80 of a few years ago, this car is much improved. little noticeable torque steer and like glue on the road when you punch the throttle from stop or at highway speeds. this car is growing on me like my old box shaped Volvos ... skeptic at first but its carrying on that traditional feel of another solid, quiet, dependable and SAFE Volvo!

I LOVE my Volvo! - 2002 Volvo S80
By MCM - July 12 - 10:00 amBuying my Volvo was the best thing I have ever done for myself. It is a comfortable car and I feel VERY safe in it. I love to drive it and I am anxious to take it on a long road trip. I loved dealing with Rickenbaugh Volvo in Denver - they were GREAT!

Expectations Exceeded - 2002 Volvo S80
By W J Weidner - December 10 - 3:00 amA Mercedes owner, I wanted something less out there. 85% recyclable and 100% ozone to oxygen patented radtator along with comfort ride for the driver and passengers. Great price and reasonable maintenace costs. A keeper and will be a Family item for several years to come.
