  My used 2000 S80 T6 is great! - 2000 Volvo S80
  By PapaBravo - June 22 - 10:00 am

  Bought certified pre-owned, and I absolutely love this car. Engineering and function are wonderful, and its a blast to drive the T6. Highly recommend as a used car, the new ones are a bit pricey. (Better to let a rich person eat the first three years of depreciation!)

  Air Bags - 2000 Volvo S80
  By mecop186 - June 2 - 10:06 pm

  Two weeks ago we had a snow storm here in Maine (go figure). Well I got stuck in a driveway. Couldnt get out to save my life! After trying for 40 minutes, I was so pi**ed off, I put my S80 T6 in "Park", got out and slammed the drivers door. I heard a "POoof" sound and, when I turned around, it truly looked like I had installed venetian blinds! The "Side Curtains" went off! Ripped the stitching out of the left "Lumbar" support, split the leather, left a 7" tear in the headliner and I now have foam EVERYWHERE the eye can see! Estimates range from $2,000 to $6,000. Ill be taking it to the mid-range guys. They were very intrigued about the door slamming setting off the air bags.

  Looks Good - Didt Last - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Gator104 - April 25 - 1:26 pm

  We bought this used with 39,000 miles. It has low profile tires which was a mistake as the noise from them is almost unbearable. Had the front suspension replaced at 87,000 (ride still noisy even after that). Had the sunfoof guides replaced due to roof rattle. Also, light bulbs burned out on a routine basis - a big pain. Little trim items kept breaking that had to be replaced - also a pain. THe radio/CD was of poor quality with poor sound and reception. Dont know if the lack of quality was the fault of Volvo or Ford cheapening things once they took over. Resale value does not hold at all. Finally dumped this dog at 89,000 miles and bought a used Lexus RX300, which is wonderful.

  Time for something different... - 2000 Volvo S80
  By pamandbrad - February 20 - 10:00 am

  On the plus side, very comfortable vehicle inside, also great looks. Unfortunately, many trips to service dept after only 24k miles for suspension/electrical/ problems mostly. Unacceptable for a 40k+ automobile. I think Ill go back to Japanese cars next.

  Great interior/drive, spotty reliability - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Robert - February 15 - 12:00 am

  I bought this car in July of 08 with 74K miles on it and was given a 3 month warranty from the dealer. I noticed the transmission slipping noticeably almost immediately and took it in to the dealer, as Ive read these cars have transmission problems. It was covered by the warranty and replaced for free. Ive also had the front brake pads and rotors replaced and the cruise control works sporadically. The interior is stylish and extremely comfortable, and the drive is great. Plenty of power. I would tell anyone in the market for a 2000 and later S80 to be careful when looking. Make sure the car is in good shape. If its been treated well, there shouldnt be too many problems.

  I think I like this car??? - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Tlover - December 24 - 4:20 am

  Ok, so after being in a bad accident I found this car and LOVED how it drove. This car did leave me stranded on a roadtrip, which was the result of a blown transmission....that cost a fortune! Other than the tranny disaster, I must say the car has actually been a pretty great car. It rides very smooth and is freakin fast! I have smoked many Bimmers and Audis in this. Tiptronic is alot of fun. Front end assembly seems to have alot of problems too. Overall I think I still do like this car. Currently has 95k miles

  She is fast and fun! I love Volvo! - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Ju-Ju 50 - December 7 - 5:50 am

  The previous owner took excellent care of her. She hardly looked sat in, much less driven. I couldnt believe my luck, to total my Volvo sw and find a beaut waiting for me to buy her. Its amazing to put my foot on the accelerator and find out Im going 93 and it feels like Im going 35! She feels like an affordable luxury car. Leather seating, air conditioning ducts behind the rear seats, front seat warmers, wiper blades on the headlights, a button for wet weather control. The ride is quiet, cruise control makes the drive effortless, smooth. She was used after all; the locks needed replacing, and the transmission because I forgot to shift out of low while driving on the freeway.

  Unreliable Volvo - 2000 Volvo S80
  By proacman - November 12 - 2:00 am

  We have had this car for two years. In that span, it has broken 15 times, for items such as suspension, electrical, mechanical and ignition.

  Ignore the Complainers, its Great!!! - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Dan_Carlson - November 8 - 2:00 am

  Its true what they say, only the ones with problems are the ones who speak up! I purchased my 2000 S80 shortly after an associate of mine bought his. I now have about 87,000 miles on mine and not an ounce of trouble. A recall was preformed at no charge and Volvo did the free software upgrade. After reading some of these reviews, I contacted my associate to ask him about his. He remembers one repair under warranty but believes it might have just been a recall. Overall, he said the reliability has been superb! He owns the 2.9 and mine is a T6. Compared to my previous BMWs, this car has been absolutely wonderful! I recommend this car to anyone!
