2000 Volvo S80 review from North America
"The car really is a lemon!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission failure, engine sputtering, alternator, battery 2 times in 2 years, brake rotors.
Ford has really screwed up what was a great automobile prior to the merger.
General comments?
From Houston Texas.
Quite frankly all of the negative comments I have heard about Volvo quality and service are true. This Volvo S80 is a sorry vehicle. I will never buy; another they suck. That is why they are sold for so cheap after some unaware sucker pays 40,000 plus for them new!
Stay away from them; the transmission will not last, and all of the bad things you hear are absolutely true.
