  The Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Mel - November 4 - 2:23 pm

  Im 53 years old and have owned a lot of cars, but none beats the 2000 Volvo S80 Turbo. I have no idea what the other people are talking about, but Ive had nothing but excellent reliability and pure driving pleasure. Ive owned the car for almost two years and drive it everyday. I get 21 mpg city and 25 highway. Short or long distance driving experience is nothing short of superb. The turbo is awesome, but I also own a 2000 Volvo S80 nonturbo, which is just as great (owned for 6 years and NO bad experience, just routine maintenance). I love my 2000 S80s. I will purchase the 2007 S80, but I wont trade in my 2000 S80s. Im keeping them.

  Love my S80 - 2000 Volvo S80
  By John Burke - October 30 - 2:00 am

  At the risk of being premature in my evaluation, this is the best riding, quietest, most fun to drive car I have ever had. I knew Volvo was a quality automobile judging from my wifes 1991 940GLE. The dealer is great! I havent had the need to have my car serviced yet, but judging from the superior service my wife has received, I feel I can look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Don Beyer.

  Money-sucking disaster - 2000 Volvo S80
  By anosmic - October 30 - 2:00 am

  Only a repair shop could bear to own this vehicle, and then only if they had infinite access to free replacement parts. I havent had the personal resolve to total up the repair bills we have had on this car, conservatively $15000 in less than 4 years. The design crew Volvo hired for this car were definitely in way over their heads, unless they are getting a cut on the repair bills from the Volvo shops.

  When shopping for a new vehicle, the choose of models included BMW 5, 300E Mercedes, and the STS Cadillac. At 62" the Volvo was the most comfortable and provided front wheel drive. Along with a cheaper price tag.

  Safety Factor - 2000 Volvo S80
  By tsdero - July 26 - 5:16 am

  I have been rear ended twice now in this car, once with 400 miles and just recently. Both times the other drivers airbags went off and I was fine. The car absorbed all of the impact. In fact, this second time, my purse didnt even come off the front seat. The officers said that it would have been any other car, the trunk would have been in my rear seat. Ill buy another just for the saftey factor.

  My Volvo - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Sandra - July 19 - 1:00 pm

  I bought the car new. It is a wonderful car to drive although I have had a number of electrical and mechanical problems. I have severe arthritis and the seats are the most comfortable of any car Ive ever owned and adjustable to many positions. I love the power and the instant response and feel it is the safest car on the road today. The only reason Im considering another make is reliability. Ive never owned a car with so many problems.

  Luv it and leave it ! - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Mark - June 10 - 8:10 pm

  Enjoy driving my S-80 but beginning at 55K miles repairs have been constant. Now have 100 and have to sell because it is costing me $1000 per quarter for repairs. The mechanic said that the items needing to be fixed are not common problems. Great. I cant wait until the common problems occur. I hate the idea of selling but my comfortable car is no longer dependable. If dependability could be improved, I would buy another one. i.e. wheel hub $700, throttle $1200 a/c next last 4 months in repair. Sorry Volvo.

  Awesome car with a few trips for repairs - 2000 Volvo S80
  By pmerch - May 24 - 11:40 am

  This car is very powerful and performs excellent. I purchased this used a few years ago with 85k miles. The issue has been the repairs such as suspension and the throttle body but that was covered from a recall. I must say its a comfortable car and looks great but it makes me nervous that a very costly repair is about to happen in the near future. Replacing the timing belt was not too expensive though and I recommend going to an independent shop unless you like to pay double the price and that can add up since this car goes in the shop every three months!

  A lot of hype - 2000 Volvo S80
  By judy spiegel - February 28 - 10:00 am

  Had problems from Day 1. My first S80 T6 had to be shipped back to Sweden for diagnosis. On the replacement,the sight lines are so bad that these are dangerous; there is not a blind "spot," there is a right blind side. Transmission doesnt always shift properly; it sometimes reverses when it says "drive," parks when it says "reverse," etc. And the car shakes when one goes from 0 to 5 on a dry surface! (Like pulling out of a red light.) The doors do not close tightly. All in all, a lot of hype.

  Should be as reliable as Volvo used to be - 2000 Volvo S80
  By Jimmy - February 27 - 6:30 am

  I purchased this car with 54k on it, mostly for volvo reputation of durability and reliability (not any more). I have to change the power steering rack ($900) Cooling fan (before they make a recall). Every visit to volvo dealer is like going to HELL, they charge you for the aire you breath. Every thing typically cost you 10 times compared to the same issue in an american or Japanese car. I am already looking for either Honda or Toyota.
