Good Points: Massive comfortable cabin and awesome engine power.
Bad Points: Wallows in bends, but what do you expect when your driving a car the size of a small country!
General comments: I owned my Volvo T6 for over 12 months and it didn't go wrong once. Ultra reliable and that with 120K miles on the clock. Since the I have had an MGZT 2.5 V6 (for 6 terrible weeks) and currently have an Hyundai Coupe V6 which I am going to sell soon to buy another S80 as I am now a convert. Probably will get the D5 for fuel econony.

I bought a Volvo S80 T-6 in Novembre 2005 because it was recommended to me by a freind. Since the day I have bought it, I have loved it and always looked forward to driving my car more and more. The S80 is an amazing car with exceptional ride comfort and performence. This car is also seen as a luxury saloon compared to the German barrier of Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

I was not a Volvo fan when I took my wife to see the XC90. She did not want to buy at that time but we saw a 2002 S80 T6, end of year deal. I drove it, love the horsepower, loved the ride, could not believe it was a Volvo. 0-6 is 6.5, top speed of 155? A Volvo? That power means the engine is not stressed too much on the interstate. Got a super deal, $10,000 off and I bought my first (and only to date) Volvo.
Car is two years old, still gets great comments from people who love the stylin ...

The Volvo S80 T-6 is a safe car but for the money I wished I had listened to reason and bought a BMW 528/540.

Volvo S80-T6 has certainly good features such as engine, brakes and safety, it seems however, that the design of interior items, naming few: awkward radio controls, dashboard information hard to see in daylight, tiny lights indicating vents, and more were left without much attention. Reliability also totally unacceptable. For the price, Japanese cars are an order of magnitude better designed.

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 ...

My Volvo S80 T-6 has given 10,000 trouble free miles but that is to be expected. This is my first Volvo (s80 t6)based on the recommendation of my brother who drove his hard and long. Rarely do you read or write about a car if you love it, most postings are from folks naffed off at service or the performance of their vehicle. I owned an 89 Ford Sho and just loved it, that is rare. I will soon modify the performance of the car and hope it holds up. If so, I will be back for another.

I have never been a volvo man before. I saw the new Volvo S80 T-6 and fell in love. It's great-i have had it for a year and it's still great. It's fast and turns heads, it's TWIN light pressure TURBOS are smooth and fast!!
Like other reviews the little dash mounted screen does tell me on a regular basis about air bags etc. But still better to know then to be in an accident and get killed!!
The volvo name is great too. Professional, educated, middle class!! Can you get any better!!?!?! No!! ...

I agree with the earlier unfavorable reviews on the Volvo S80 T-6 executive car. This is a good try at competing in the luxury market by Volvo that fails due to the unreliable, unsafe problems in the electrical/computer module area. Our car has spent over 6 weeks at the dealer in our 25 months of ownership. My wife will not take it for more than short trips anymore. Problems include: doors, windows locking/unlocking without warning; inablity to unlock locked doors, engine quitting in intersectio ...

On my Volvo S80 T-6, the electronic sensors have cried wolf so many times that the car has a "Needs Service" light on more often than not. Brakes have failed unexpectedly nearly breaking out our garage door as a result. Seals around moonroof have deteriorated so that the car sounds like the windows are down anytime the hard cover for the moonroof is open. Emission control light has malfunctioned at least 10 times requiring service. Biggest boo-boo happened when car went too far over a parking bl ...

The S80 T6 is Volvo's first world class effort. The design is bristling with fresh thinking, unfortunately the execution falls far short of the mark.. This is the most unreliable car that I've ever owned, and certainly the worst of the 20 Volvos I've owned through the years. Every time I get in this car something else malfunctions to the point I'm fearful to drive anywhere with my family. You don't need to pay this kind of money for dreadful reliability. If you're considering this car, do yours ...

I like the way the Volvo S80 looks and drives a lot. There are cars that provide a more luxurious ride, cars that have sportier handling, cars that are a bit quicker, but the Volvo S80 blends all these qualities in harmony, creating a general purpose vehicle that is hard to beat if you are looking for a sedan that offers safety, value, comfort, style and performance.
The S80 is loaded with unobtrusive technology. In terms of safety, I value the full complement of dual-sensitivity air bags. T ...
