Best car ever, luxurious without being pretentious.
It is very good, needs work once in a while because it is pretty old. It is very comfortable inside and drives very smoothly. The outside still looks stylish after 12 years. I am hoping to keep it for another 5 years or more. I would certainly purchase another Volvo.

Safe, high performance Volvo S80
I love this car! It has served us well for over 10 years. It accelerates quickly, it feels safe, and the interior still looks impressive after all this time. I felt very safe driving this car as my first one. It has lots of storage and is a good sized sedan.

It's reliable and safe, not to mention good on gas.
It has been running without any problems since I purchased it. I plan on upgrading it soon just because it's time for an updated style.

There is a button you need to push to unlock the hatch to put gas into the car.
It has good pick up. I am not a huge fan of the color. It is alright with gas. It has a decent amount of space.
accountCircle Camille D
This car is a Volvo in every sense of the brands image. Safe, classy, and practical.
Just an all around solid car. Not the quickest, but if you have the turbo version it is really enough to feel like you can move when needed. Has some fun features typical of Swedish cars.

I like that it looks sleek and the interior is nice but it does have its issues.
There is a leak that comes from the tubing in the sunroof when it rains. The fabric lining on the roof came down but I had it repaired. There were also some electrical issues that the mechanic fixed. The car is nice looking and I like the leather seats. The trunk is small.
