  Best value & fun to drive - 2001 Volvo S80
  By Mhamm334 - September 23 - 7:50 am

  I must say this has been the best car I have ever owned. It has been well taken care of, when I purchased it had 57k miles, all service records are up to date. I am very impressed thus far. I would have to agree that visibility is lacking, but performance is great, and interior is greatly designed, there is lots of leg room in the back. Great for long trips to the beach.

  Black Beauty - 2001 Volvo S80
  By the g is silent - September 13 - 2:00 am

  The S80 is a great car (especially in black), but is too much to maintain. The engine power seems underated because this car can really move even without the turbo. Interior is pleasing and ergonomic. Brakes stop on a dime. The premium wheels dent to easily, and accelerating around turns can cause front wheels to hop. Sensors short out in flashfloods, and warranty will not cover! Loved the car, but I am glad the lease is up.

  I just purchased a s80 2001 with 152,000 miles on it. This was the best buy of my life being a pre-owed car. Thanks Volvo

  am radio users beware - 2001 Volvo S80
  By midthirties - June 17 - 10:00 am

  Beautiful car, nice ride, great head turning ratio. My biggest complaint is the am radio. Horrible reception!! I have had it fixed 4 times and had a new part installed to try and fix this. This becomes very annoying...and it gets worse when I plug in my cell phone.

  Wish I never bought this - 2001 Volvo S80
  By nikjer - June 1 - 2:40 pm

  Light bulbs need changing monthly. Cup holder, rear ash tray, seat belts, 18 undercarriage bolts, and center console all have fallen off. Suspension had to be repaired twice. Now have a new message that the gear selector does not work. Noise from windshield is very high. Cannot get radio fixed, static is constant on am and fm. If I hit the lock button it will improve temporarily. Front leather seats are cracking badly although I have attempted to maintain them. Although car is paid for, I think a payment on a new one would be cheaper than keeping this one. We drive our 98 Dodge Ram with 160K miles on it if we go anywhere more than 50 miles from home. It is more reliable.

  Great Drive, Bad Car - 2001 Volvo S80
  By KJHOG92 - March 29 - 11:40 pm

  Ive had this car right after a transport company owned it for less than a year. Its great to drive, its slow, but steering feels great, control is unbelievable. Ive had this car up to 140 on the highway, was straight as an arrow, not even a vibration. Ive taken this car on exit ramps at 80 mph. The car just grips the road. And it is so comfortable. I just love that aspect of the car. But the problem is the car isnt built right. The Sunroof has been replaced twice and doesnt work anymore, my front window barely work, everything is plastic and is just falling apart. New Tranny at 99,000 and the engine has an oil problem. And it sucks the fuel. If you have deep pockets than its good.

  Volvo - 2001 Volvo S80
  By Mike BJ - March 26 - 2:00 am

  Volvo is a very good car. I had this car 2 years. It beats my 1991 Ford Explorer that lasted two years and my 1997 Linclon Town Car that lasted one year. It still doesnt beat my 1992 Acura that lasted from 1992-1997 and my wifes Honda Accord that lasted 1987- 1997. I would always recomend Volvo. The only problem is it had 3 electrical problems.

  Solid and Staid - 2001 Volvo S80
  By jlgcpa - November 24 - 10:00 am

  Terrible radio. Cumbersome to use, reception is the worst I have ever had in 50 years of driving. Turning circle too wide. Service is expensive at dealer, I get apprehensive when the bill is prepared. I wish I could get those billing rates. Memory seat has amnesia or Alzheimers. Trip computer needs a timer.

  good, bad and ugly - 2001 Volvo S80
  By ronia1 - November 7 - 3:56 am

  i sometimes refer to my S80 as my $40,000 bucket o bolts, but i was spoiled by my 94 960 sdn with 170000 trouble free miles. the S80 is gorgeous BUT: both struts noisy (mind you at 60K miles; that may be their life span), head seal leaking, sunroof noisy when opened because suspension is SO tight, windows squeak when going down (always on pass side, sometimes on driver side), and the finish put on plastic panels inside scratches...but I love Volvo!!!

  rolling strength - 2001 Volvo S80
  By wayfire - April 7 - 10:33 am

  Picked up our S80 in Feb. What a Valentines Day present! Dealership was wonderful with everything. Just had a six hour road trip with no compliants. Plenty of trunk space. Controls were easy to find and use, great nav. system. You do have to read the manual to learn all offerings, but I drove it off the lot and could understand the basics. Acceleration is fantastic, both off the line and at highway speeds. Minimal noise from wind and road even considering Z-rated performance tires. Everyone says beautiful car...its a VOLVO?! Safety is unmatched with any other car. Great confidence when driving with wife and 5 month old daughter.
