Advantages: Extremely well built reliable and comfortable vehicle Disadvantages: Very low to the ground and can be thirsty on fuel
The Volvo S80 is the Volvo flagship and inherits the build quality and reliability that Volvo is renown for. The smooth six-cylinder engine is quiet and reliable but if pushed can be thirsty with less than 18 mpg. Its not a BMW 528 and so you cant throw the S80 around in the same manner; but on the other hand its built with so many safety features you are at least safe and extremely comfortable. Its capable of 145 mph where the plod turn a blind ... ...your going that fast!
Volvo servicing is excellent and the agents tend to “look” after you like no other dealers, but again don’t expect cheap prices this is a £30,000+ car and when it does need parts, they wont be cheap!
Comfort is the big thing with this car, the moment you sink into the leather interior and adjusting the seat, electronic memory for 3 drivers plus adjusting the steering to suit you just know its going to be a great journey.
