Good fuel economy, low emissions, punchy performance, comfortable seats.
Fidgety ride, not as good to drive as competition, frustrating electric handbrake.
The best S80 in the range still lags behind the competition.
Volvo consistently fares well in satisfaction surveys. In the recent JD Power survey the brand ranked 12th, above Nissan and Volkswagen.
Despite this resounding vote of confidence, we've heard of some S80s being afflicted with odd electrical and mechanical gremlins.
Where perceived quality is concerned, the S80 impresses, feeling well made and with pleasant-feeling materials.
