Underpowered 2.9 normal aspiration
I am in charge of a test fleet of cars and have 2 1999 S80s. The small 2.9L motor could definitely use a little help on the lower end, but the power seems to surge on once you turn around 3500RPM. The evasive manuevering ability of the vehicle was highlighted several times by responsive cornering, even over rough pavemant. The main recurring problem that I have with them is a faulty fuel management component, located on the air intake, that keeps failing; I guess running 24/7 for a few months straight may due that to a car. In comparison with other cars I test, these vehicles cost less than average to maintain (please remember the cost of parts/labor is high) and the reliability on-average is good 310K miles and over 60K hours besides the miles. Not too bad.
