2000 Volvo S80 review from UK and Ireland
"Not cheap, but definitely a serious BMW/Merc alternative"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Continually blowing rear bulbs.
Rear suspension had to be replaced at 30k.
Squeaks and rattles in dash.
General comments?
The S80 even in automatic 2-litre format
is a very lively package.
It handles very well for such a large car.
It went back to the leasing company last Friday and I'm sorry to see it go.
