Volvo S80 (1998-2006) Review

Category: Executive 3 out of 5

Summary of the Volvo S80 (1998-2006)

Price Range: £22,245 to £36,745

Assets

Spacious and attractive cabin, excellent seats and good general comfort make this an accomplished long distance car. Safety features and smooth engines are assets, too

Drawbacks

Lesser five-cylinders lack urge, no version especially inspiring to drive, ride average even with Four-C damping option

Verdict

Beginning to feel old, but remains an appealing long-distance cruiser. Good used buy.

Volvo S80 Review

Used Value2.5 out of 5

The S80 depreciates quite heavily, but not so badly that you'll lose your shirt if you buy one a few years old, and its fundamental quality means that it is capable of high mileages. It also makes quite a good used buy if you need a lot of space.
