  Major disappointment - 2003 Volvo S80
  By puchpuppy - March 20 - 6:40 am

  Purchased car with 33000 miles and have been beset with any number of very expensive problems. The most expensive problem was replacing the fuel pump at 43000 miles at a cost of $1000 dollars and suffering an overwhelming smell of gasoline for a month afterward. Now there is a check engine warning that shows a code of failure of fuel system. The estimate on replacing the sensor is in the neighborhood of $800 dollars. The suspension system needs realignment every two thousand miles or so. Am on the third set of tires. Continually replacing headlight bulbs and other bulbs. I am 82 years old and have drive Volvos for years and I do not misuse a car. Am bitterly disappointed with this car!

  Good car! - 2003 Volvo S80
  By Mark Lewis - December 2 - 2:20 am

  This is an excellent car. Its fun to drive, and it gets good gas mileage. I consistently get 430 miles to the tank. The only problem I have is that the rear passenger speaker produces static. Other than that, the car accelerates well, takes turns well, hugs the road and has plenty of amenities. The trunk is very large. The hinges fold into the side and not into the well of the trunk. It gives you more space. Thats especially important when you are grocery shopping for a family of 5! Overall, its a great car.

  Volvo S-80 Nice Looking but a Letdown - 2003 Volvo S80
  By dannyroche - November 17 - 2:00 am

  Problems (2) transmission services link bushing replacement and one front strut changed before 50K warrenty expired!!! second strut at 60K door lock ($220) at 70K heated mirror ($200) at 73K Care is nice to drive and nice looking. Car has great safety features. Good performance with the T-6, a tad too much torque due to FWD. Too Bad Volvo has not figured out that there is one thing ahead of safety. THE CAR MUST BE RELIABLE......

  Volvo S80 2.9 A Pleasure! - 2003 Volvo S80
  By Volvo Again - March 17 - 2:00 am

  This car was an upgrade from my 2000 s40 (which I also loved). My husband and I based our decision to lease another Volvo based on its excellent safety features, its comfort and its unique style. We were not let down. This car is a pleasure to drive even without the T6 engine. The design is so different from the other cars out there, that people often stop to look or ask us what it is. I am very satisfied with our choice.

  Best Volvo yet! - 2003 Volvo S80
  By Nick in PA - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Besides the class-leading safety in this model, Volvo has perfectly balanced performance and comfort in the T6. This car is roomier than the BMW 5- series cars...both cabin and trunk. This is my 4th Turbocharged Volvo, and is the best one yet! I was surprised at how reasonable the cost was after all incentives were applied

  Volvo S80 Performance - 2003 Volvo S80
  By Brandosdad - July 30 - 10:00 am

  The VOlvo S80 is the finest car I have ever driven. Thle styling was new, starting with the 2002 model year. Car is roomy inside and holds 4 to 5 people. Steering, power, acceleration, placement of instruments etc. is great. Seating is extremely comfortable and is posture friendly. Well designed. Thlley thought of evereything.

  Volvo Lemon - 2003 Volvo S80
  By Bob Reynolds - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Absolute worse new car I have ever purchased. Dealership service had car first 4months more than I did. Service dept. drove more miles than owner, over the first four months. Local service dept. can not fix problem without bringing in specialist who works with Volvo Sweeden. Problem worse than ever and dealership now saying nothing more they can do. We now have to change our driving habits to try to be safe in the $40k vehicle. Cannot pull out into traffic because we are not sure what car will do. (Either bog down or tramission will slip). 5 visits to service and they cant fix it. They said that Volvo might have a fix in the future.

  Silky & Smooth beauty - 2003 Volvo S80
  By yelled - March 30 - 10:00 am

  I think the person who complained about the "born with" nose, not enough power to accelerate into traffic, and heavy steering wheel must got a real lemon or not talking about the same car. Steering is actually on the lighter side for Eurpean cars. Its quiet and smooth even over NYC pot-holes. Avoiding them is just as fun. No problems what so ever so far and I am keeping my fingers crossed. I like this car over often troublesome and stiff BMWs. Especially when my neighbors BMW gets stuck during snow. I love floating by with my cushy seats with fwd.
