2012 Volvo S80 Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Luxury “off-road” wagons from Audi and mercedes-benz are equally capable, but none of them really go off-road. The Volvo is less expensive and just as luxurious as any of its competitors, providing a better value. I have made my peace with the idea of an off-road station wagon that never goes off-road. It is increasingly the only way to get a station wagon in America, as the few remaining traditional wagons are replaced by plastic-clad, higher-riding versions or canceled entirely in favor of real SUVs. So if the only way we can get excellent wagons like the Volvo s80 is in this cross country format, so be it. I'll try my best to enjoy it and celebrate it, because there’s a lot here worth enjoying and celebrating.

The tire sensor batteries are expensive, but it drives well and I have had no mechanical issues. Great gas mileage, and I have put about 20,000 miles on it since I have had it in the past two years. Great driver for your daily job or for a road trip. Heated seats, leather interior, and excellent audio system, coupled with a moonroof and parking sensors make it a dream come true to drive.

I have never had any problems with this car. It is has been used for cross country travel and is very comfortable and reliable.

I really like how smooth and quick the acceleration is and the radio system is really good. Have put two hundred and twenty thousand miles on it and the car still runs great. No sign of quitting. Do not have any issues. I would recommend this car to anyone who has to go on long road trips and wants to fly down the highway.

First off, I love my car. It is stylish, comfortable, and very safe. Given that it is a few years old, I have had to do some minor maintenance, which is not cheap on Volvos. Some electrical things have began getting messed up as well such as sensors and the auto windows.

My car, even after considerable driving and storage in inclement weather, has been incredibly reliable. It is very responsive to all actions including steering and speed change, and it is an easy car to handle. I have had to have a few small repairs done, but primarily due to rust damage caused by improper cleaning by the previous owner after long term exposure to salt in the winter. Overall though has been low maintenance and a joy to drive.

I have had my car for six years now and have had no issues with it. Everything about the car is great including the look and style of it. Inside it feels very open and spacious although it is a sedan. The gas mileage is great and only costs me around $25 to $30 to fill up the car. My car has the heated seats which is amazing! If you are considering getting a car with heated seats, I would suggest this one. I recommend this car to everyone I meet because of the safety features, the style of the car, and the fact that it is extremely easy to drive.

This vehicle is one of the best I have ever owned. The turbo does not have the lag like most turbo's do. Zero to sixty is seconds. Only downfall is the maintenance is a bit pricey. So are the tires. I had to replace the wheels because the original one's cracked.
