1999 Volvo S80 T6 review from North America
"Highway cruiser with class to spare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet. I just purchased it and my mechanic said it was in amazing shape for a 1999 with 120k.
General comments?
This car is so amazing. I had a 2000 old Intrigue and this is so much better. Leather still looks new and all features still work. I have not had in in for service yet so I cannot comment on that.
Everything under the hood is easily to get to and not obscured. Timing and serpentine belt are right on the side. The twin turbo engine is so quiet and powerful. I work for Audi and this car feel better than some Audi's (A4, A6). The paint is immaculate. The only real thing that needed to be fixed was some condensation in the headlights, easily done.
I had the car up to 120 and it still felt like I was going 60.
Seats are amazing! I wish I could rip them out and used them as office furniture.
Hopefully I will have this car a long time. My only real gripe is that I can't find a service manual for the car. Only in DVD form, not book... oh well...
