I have had this car for 11 years now. During this time this car has been remarkable. Apart from the usual replacements tyres , brakes, wipers and a regular service this car has cost me nothing. Still original exhaust, batteries and no rust on the bodywork.Averaging 44 mpg local motoring and 49 mpg on a long run. Comfort , air conditioning, heated seating , built in sat nav and leather seats what more could you want.

Volvo S80 is a great car from the perspective of comfort and easy driving. However the cost of diesel these days means I use the car less and less as it is expensive to run.

I am on my 3rd S80. I buy them at 1 year old and they have been excellent value, totally reliable and extremely comfortable.They may not have the same appeal as a Merc, BMW, or Jag,but in many ways they have been better.

I bought this car in 2008 as a second car, I travelled weekly from London to Northamptonshire and back on M40. Therefore comfort and reliability was essential. It has passed its MOT every year which included filter and oil change. Recently had to replace the front sensor at a cost of £90 and apart from new set of tyres that is the only expense I have had. Not being very tall I have the driving seat fairly well forward. So my only small criticism I had was that unless you have very long legs and build like a stick insect the seat belts were very restrictive, tight and uncomfortable, making them a distraction when driving. But this small problem was solved by the purchase of seat build extensions. When I do change my car I will seriously be considering another Volvo

I have found this car to be the most comfortable to drive in my experience. Although servicing costs are quite high particularly at a Volvo dealer I have found the customer service good. The diesel engine performs well from the performance point of view and is quite economical for a large car. I will certainly consider another Volvo when I come to change although I think that I will now go for a smaller model.

These cars are really comfortable and reliable. Downside is fast wear of the front suspension. Volvo mechanics are bad. Take your car to trusted garage instead and it will thank you.

Best tow car I've ever had. Solo very economical for such a big car. Motorway with cruise cont. on = mid 50's MPG !!! Towing more like mid. 20's MPG. Comfortable on both long and short runs. A bit big to park sometimes in narrow spaces but overall, as above. Not happy with the road tax though.

I purchased this vehcile in 2011 and have not been disappointed. It is my second S80 and whilst overall build quality does not appear to be as robust as my former 2002 model it has perfromed very weel with just over 102k in 3.25 years the vehcile is ideal for my daily commute of 1 100 mile round rip , fuel economy is typically 45 mpg and maintenance intervals at 18k. I have experienced no breakdowns in this period and servicing costs are reasonable via a local independent Volvo specialist. I use the vehicle for towing the family touring caravan and the car tows the load with ease with a 2.4 five cylinder Diesel engine and geartronic box. Overall I am pleased.

I have owned three Jaguars but this is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. It is 11 years old and has done 150k miles but still feels brand new. Once a year it has a MOT and a service and does not see a garage for another 12 months. If you drove 200 miles and then realised you had forgotten something you would not think twice about driving back to get it. But in no way is it an entertaining or interesting car to drive. I have owned the car for 5 years but still struggle to know what the front of the car looks like.

I've had this Lux model of this vehicle for seven years now. It has clocked up 65,000 miles ( not a lot for a diesel engine I know ) and apart from general wear and tear of tyres and brakes etc. it has been trouble free. Although it is a big powerful car it is a real pleasure to drive particularly when motorway driving.

I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS AND ALTHOUGH THIS ONE IS NOW OVER FOURTEEN YEARS OLD IT LOOKS AND FEELS NEW. I HAVE HAD OTHER CARS DURING MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS ONE HENCE THE LOW MILEAGE OF 95,000. IT HAS A TWIN TURBO SYSTEM AND IS RATED AT 272 BHP SO THE POWER AVAILABLE IS ENOUGH TO GET YOU OUT OF TIGHT SITUATIONS ALTHOUGH I NEVER FEEL THE NEED TO CALL ON IT
