So Far So Good
This car was what I expected, ran very smooth for the price and had little physical damage. It was everything I was looking for in a first car.

Would never recommend Volvo
This has been the worst car. It's uncomfortable to ride in. The air conditioning, windows, and battery do not stay working. The engine had to be replaced (which was a mistake).

Pros and cons
I'm 16 years old and this car is a little iffy. My mom bought this car a couple years ago for a good price with 90,000 on it. In all honesty I thought it was an ugly car to begin with. The car is a big and bulky sedan. When I was able to drive, it definitely changed my mind. Me being a teenager, I like my music loud and go fast. The speakers shocked me. If you're a person that likes bass, consider this car. I was also happy with the speed. It accelerates well and when I went to go test the top speed, it kicked shifted into 5th gear around 95. So if you like to go fast and like your music consider. On the other hand, this car is not durable at all. Even before I started driving my parents were struggling with it and very often. It has major electrical issues with the alternator and it is expensive to fix. Another con is the gas. I have to pay for my own gas and is full tank is gone within a week within a week. But the main reason my parents gave me the car is the safety. I think the car has 12 airbags? I read the owners manual and it is a safe car. You guys probably don't care about the opinion of a 16 year old, but I've been around this car for about 4 years.

high pros, low cons
we also own a 2001 Volvo S80 T6 and it has served us well. my favorite feature is the 270 hp twin turbo inline 6. what a great power plant that car has. very torque-y (280 foot pounds) very nice on the outside but the inside lacks a premium feel as far as the dash board goes. the seats are some of the best in the business. they are comfortable as can be, really. but the plastics on the dash are somewhat un-premium. none the less, I'd recommend this to a friend if they were considering. however, it is in the shop a decent amount of time. although that could be because of the mileage (95,000) great car! GET THE T6!

Safe, Zippy Car, Painfully Expensive to Maintain!
I have owned this car for seven + years. Thankfully I purchased it certified used with the extended warranty. Easily $8K in warranty repairs from new transmission at 62K (what?! its a Volvo) to $13K in non-warranty repairs. All when commuting an average of 10K per year; its not in the Baja 5000 for Pete sake. How many times do I have to replace the same parts? Engine mounts, bushings, struts, brake pads, ETM? Lovely styling, huge, quiet, comfortable interior, and smooth. Feels (but does not drive) like a tank; solid and safe. Awesome T-6 engine is extra zippy when needed. I LOVE this car, but it hemorrhages money! Better off with a Lexus or Acura for the reliability and similar luxury options.

used 01Volvo S-80
I bought my used 01 S-80 from a dealer in 04. The car and dealer is exactly what I expected. It lives up to its reliability and performance. Since I had one brake job and many oil changes. (Normal) This is my second Volvo. First one was a used 4yr old 740-GLE that I had for 14yrs. Thats what made me stay with Volvo. The only work I have done on both cars were just routine. I do definitely recommend the S-80. and the dealers.
