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.

S-80 is great! - 2002 Volvo S80
By toothjanitor - September 12 - 10:00 amI bought my Volvo after owning a Lincoln. So, I had to adjust to the lack of comforts in this car. But the security, confidence in the structure and integrity of the car won me over. Took a while to find a comfortable seating. Snap up cupholder replaced 4 times now. Just gets in the way of everything. Miss heated mirrors and rain sens

Volvo 2000 S80T6 - 2002 Volvo S80
By RGrabber - August 3 - 10:00 amDissapointed . Rear stablizers replaced at 25000, front stablizers replaced at 49000. Electrical system bad. Light bulbs burned out often until they were replaced with heavy duty ones. I pull a small boat, because of the heavy duty light bulbs, the fuses blow as soon as the trailer is hooked up. The hitch and trailer connection were installed by the dealer. $1000 repair to the throttle assembly. Volvo replaced parts at no cost even though it was 52000 miles. I paid labor ($280). Volvo said no more free parts. It appears to need major repair every 20000 miles or less. The 2000 seems to have lost over half it values in less than two years.

By VolvoDriver - June 22 - 5:33 amThis car has a better ride, maintenance, than my other luxury cars. I own same year Lexus GS430 and a 2000 Mercedes S600 and this Volvo tops them both.

A Beautiful Car - 2002 Volvo S80
By Mike Cazzogrande - June 14 - 6:43 amI bought this car for my wife recently and she loves it. It replaced her 2001 Mercedes E55 AMG which was also a nice car. I bought this car brand new just as I do with all my cars and it has a great drive, great traction and great look. I have no complaints to Volvo but I would love to see them make a bigger sedand(around BMWs 7-Series and Mercedes S-Class size) because I have 5 children. But this car is great for those who are looking in the $40,000 price range and up. Volvo was always known for its luxury status to the rich and finally they changed their boxy style. This car has a collection of safety devices, but hey thats Volvo for you.

When its on the road, excellent ride! - 2002 Volvo S80
By carold - February 8 - 10:00 amI love this cars comfortable from the soft leather seats to the excellent sound system. Pure comfortable riding down the road. However I bought my S-80 first year out and it has been in the garage more times than I dare to count. Gas line problems, exhaust problems, would not take in gas, collant always needing filled, CD player needed replace, sun roof track broke, under mount was not in correctly, engine mount broke off, not to mention the big issue...the transmission completely went out. Luckly everything except the last $1,200 has been under warrenty.
