  09 T6 AWD - 2009 Volvo S80
  By NJdiver - January 1 - 7:43 am

  Let go of our 06-S60 for the new S80. After driving the T6AWD then the 3.2 without AWD decided the ride was much better with the AWD and turbo 6. Its also nice to have the AWD in the Northeast when needed

  Elegant Ride - 2009 Volvo S80
  By Dasa - December 10 - 8:10 pm

  I explained to the surprised BMW salesman when I said no to the new 5 series sedan that I preferred the 09 Volvo S80: more powerful, more comfortable, softer ride, $15K less,and an exterior whose subtle beauty has grown on me. I love this car and plan to keep it forever.

  Pleased - 2009 Volvo S80

  Own a 2003 BMW 5 and although I loved the look and price of the S80 I was concerned with how I would enjoy the drive. Ive only had it for two weeks, but were getting to know each other and I like it better every day.

  Great value - 2009 Volvo S80
  By Dan_J - March 8 - 4:20 pm

  I was in the market for a new comfortable luxury sedan. I saw all the rebates Volvo had on this car and was able to knock $10k total off MSRP through negotiating with the dealership. So my $42k was purchased for $32k, which is an incredible value. The car drives very well, seats are very supportive and comfortable. All of the materials in the car are high quality. In addition, the 5 yr 60k warranty, which includes maintenance and wear/tear items made this decision very easy for me. If youre considering purchasing a luxury car, I highly encourage you to consider the S80, you will be thoroughly impressed.

  Great luxury car - 2009 Volvo S80
  By kamenal - June 7 - 9:40 am

  I have considered a 5 series BMW or a Mercedes E class, however when Volvo came up with $6,125 rebate last June, I could not ignore it. A Volvo S80 is a fast, supremely comfortable and well designed car. Perfect highway cruiser. Not as much of a drivers car as a BMW, but then again, you can relax and enjoy a smooth ride and responsive engine.

  Great Car Value - 2009 Volvo S80
  By Nugen - May 7 - 5:26 pm

  This is a great car for the money. I like Volvos for the obvious reasons, but this car is fun to drive and very comfortable, but has excellent handling. This car is a great combination of function and fun. This car is the 3.2, but it runs great and has great performance even on regular gas. The mileage is at least good for a car this size. The traction control is fantastic and really dont see the need for AWD. I live outside of Boston, so we get a fair amount of snow and have been great in the snow and ice. This is a great family car.

  My 3rd Volvo S-60x2 now S-80. I love volvos always have and will. I bought this one used from City Auto in Memphis. No complaints what so ever. Sturdy Dependable, sleek, comfortable.....Good gas mileage, Reasonable maintenance. If you need a good Volvo mechanic in Memphis TN call Swedish Solutions, he specializes in only Volvo.....Love the car wouldnt trade it for anything except another Volvo.

  Bang for the Buck - 2009 Volvo S80
  By Falconflight - July 10 - 10:00 am

  My 2nd Volvo (2007 S-40) and again I was impressed with the interior and exterior style and quality. Bought a demo (4k miles) and knocked off 11k bringing the total to 29k and change. The ride is outstanding, especially for long distances. The sandstone interior is airy and sumptuous. Very comfortable seating. The stereo is again outstanding, along w/ the roominess. First large car that Ive owned and it has been a A+ experience w/ Volvo.

  Absolutely valued luxury car - 2009 Volvo S80
  By Alex Z - June 4 - 1:46 am

  This is my 2nd S80 in leasing. The package is really competitive and impressive. The service in Volvo of Princeton, NJ is very good. The absolutely valued luxury car! Better than BMW 5 and Audi A6 in overall. Why pay more $10k for the same level car. I recommend to purchase or lease Volvo S80. Excellent in all of interior & exterior appearance, Handling & Safety. The drive is very smooth & quilt. great performance. Seats are very comfortable.

  Not as nice as the price - 2009 Volvo S80
  By dino k. - March 17 - 10:23 pm

  I compared this Volvo to a Buick Lucerne w/a Northstar V-8 & found its mileage substantially less & ride much harsher. Trim is very stately & exterior is very stylish. Good trunk room & overall quality very good but the vehicle is a step below the Buick in ride & performance, especially the lower mileage was a surprise.
