The alternator quit on me at 69,184 miles needed to be replaced ($460), it also caused for the heating system to malfunction and had to had it fixed at a Volvo Dealership ($137). The Electronic Throttle Module (ETM) malfunctioned, though covered by a recall, it cost me $190 to have my car towed to the Volvo Dealership. The sway-bar-links needed to be changed ($160). Turbo-drain seals needed to be replaced ($370), the Catalytic Converter and oxygen sensors replaced, however covered by Warranty since my car is under 80k miles. The front struts and strut mounts are yet to be replaced (recommended by Independent Mechanic and the Volvo Dealership) which could cost between $700 - $900. Regular 60k maintenance, new brakes and rotors, and new tires all-in-all cost around $2,000. This is now a cheap maintenance vehicle, plus, something seems to have gone wrong one after another. I have yet to find out what else is going to fail in my 2001 Volvo S80 T6.

General Comments:

Bad vehicle in general. Never consider buying this vehicle regardless of what kind of maintenance and repairs has been done on this vehicle. Something is always going to go bad and you'd never know what it could be. Not what I expected from a Volvo. This is a terrible car.

NOTHING!

General Comments:

Everything about this car is just so perfect! The S80 is smooth, quiet, safe, comfortable and responsive. I have driven this car in the worst of worst conditions, and the way the vehicle handles and responds to those conditions astounds me. It has prevented situations that normally would have otherwise occurred if I was driving my other vehicle.

The reliability and running costs of this S80 is excellent. I have had no issues at all with this vehicle. Its unfortunate that I cannot say all of this about my Town Car.

Keep up the great work Volvo! 74,564 miles and still working like its new. Its easy to say that this is the best car that I have ever owned!

The only issues that I have had with my S80 was at 14,884 Kilometers the motor for the antenna needed to be serviced because it was not extending the antenna correctly. Other than that its at 360,266 Kilometers and still going strong.

General Comments:

Because I travel allot I drive this car on a consistent basis whether its for business or just taking the family with me for a vacation down south, I needed a car that was not only comfortable, dependable, but safe. This car has far exceeded my expectations.

Everything inside of this vehicle is in absolute perfect harmony. The smooth colors, the superior quality of materials and the awe-inspiring spaciousness establishes an ambiance that no other could even imagine. The elegance and functionality combined with its lavish interior style and comfort without doubt leaves a lasting impression.

The S80’s chassis, being the most advanced in the automotive world, demonstrates immaculate agility, comfort and handling. This combined with the exceptionally smooth, powerful turbo charged T6 engine and the responsive transmission thrills from the start. The unmistakable distinctiveness of this vehicles dynamic and powerful design makes its mark where ever you go.

Volvo has created an automobile that clearly represents unmistakable design, quality, and superior craftsmanship.

I will not hesitate to purchase another product from Volvo and I am already in the process of replacing my wife's Lexus LS430 with an S80. The transmission in the LS430 had to be replaced at 8,484 kilometers and at 16,384 kilometers the direct import injector rattles, and the computer failed at 10,788 kilometers.
