It is a safe and reliable vehicle!
Volvo is a safe and reliable car. Although maintenance can be expensive, the car is overall durable and built to last. The electrically adjustable seats and seat heaters are excellent.

Volvo s80 the best in comfort and reliability.
The only thing I have done to this car is change the oil over the past 4 years. It's comfortable to drive love the heated seats and is fast when you need it to be thx to the turbo. Good on gas. Love it! Message center comes in handy letting you know things like low washer fluid etc.

Being a foreign car, the parts can be expensive if need replaced.
I like how my car runs. I really like the way it drives. Parts are rather expensive. Other than that, it is a good car.

Do not buy a pre 2010 Volvo s80.
Electrical issues, front end parts always needing to be replaced, a/c and heater always stop working. Even with regular maintenance this car has degraded quickly for it is continued ebb value. Leather interior did not hold up to elements. The only nice thing about the car is the size, the mpg and the sunroof.
accountCircle JoAnne P
It lasts for a very long time. Very family friendly.
I can't stand the leather. But we bought it used, and it was nice at the time.

It is safe. Easy to drive, stylish and comfortable. I recommend it highly to everyone.
I like the interior. 4 wheel drive is great. It had been reliable. Dislike how the leather seats heat up when hot out.

It cost me 2700 dollars which is a good deal. Well worth the money but remember the repairs. Not much else to say.
