2007 Volvo S80 3.2 review from North America
"My S80 has 1300 miles and won't start!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car refused to start at 1300 miles and after two weeks and countless phone calls, the dealership simply said: "It's too new. We don't know why it won't start and hope that Volvo engineers can tell us." Nice to know that Volvo trains it's service technicians... Although a great-riding car, I would NEVER purchase another. The sticker was more than $40,000 and the car is not reliable.
However... the 2006 Toyota Camry rental that I'm driving seems to work just fine.
General comments?
Good gas mileage overall, nice handling, outstanding luxury without being in-your-face. Really, a nice car when it used to run.
