1999 Volvo S80 optima review from Italy
"Unstoppable!!!!!!!!!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing, absolutely nothing!
The only thing I could say is that sometimes the cockpit vibrates a little, but it's a vibration that none of the passengers has never heard and it really is very little.
The driver's door has sometimes problems in opening with the remote controller in winter, but one just has to open it with the key and the problem is solved.
General comments?
The car has a great comfort, plus very low gas- diesel - consumption. I sometimes run 20 km with a litre at 120 km/h.
It is more spacious than mercedes class E and even S and BMW series 5.
It's really silent and pleasant to drive. I drove 2200 km without switching of the engine with an external temperature of 30 32 degrees, she was never tired! Great travel companion!
Maybe only the trunk is a bit small.
Have a look at it!
