2008 Volvo S80/ Quick Drive

[riederernicholas95]

@AtibbsSPARTAN Not if u take good care of it! Lol but I know what u mean.

[AtibbsSPARTAN]

After a few months that all white interior would look terrible! You would have to give people a chemical shower before they got in!

[Annihilator1111]

the 2006-present Volvo S80 is assembled in

Torslanda, Sweden

Ghent, Belgium

Samutprakarn, Thailand

[Iplayrs8D]

that allstate commercial is so funny

[eden1931]

Great car! Check out ours as well!



[ballader1]

my cousin has a 2000 Volvo S-80 T5, it is very luxurious, very fast (gets to 260 km/h) and it is very safe. Gotta love this car :)

[MrJoe2412]

Its big and meaty, and you can get a good grip on it. Giggity.

[faisalabulaziz1]

[chibiks]

@faisalabulaziz1

did you contact volvo about it? did you buy it brand new? what did they say?

[chibiks]

@faisalabulaziz1

did you contact volvo? what did they say? that is very strange for a brand new car, they should provide you compensation.

[chibiks]

[bladecatcherX99]

Alex must be a spoiled little bitch that thinks the only nice cars are the ones that cost 150k+, why don't you go work your ass off for a while at a min wage job and see what kind of car you can buy with your earnings, I recently bought a 2000 S80 T6 from a buddy and I love it, before this I had owned an 87 Honda accord, the Volvo is a

Nice car, theres really not anything bad about it, sorry about the rave but I hate spoiled kids that think everything should be handed to them lol

[kenoshabrew]

Aww mumbles...get the marbles outta your mouth! lol!

[123exilim]

2:43 I bet he's not going 5mph :D

[Tomek016PL]

[Turutuy]

заебатая тачила ! бля буду мои буржуйские братья!

[alexc3589]

volvos r gay as fuck. i hate my s80

[Tyutyunnik]

@alexc3589 the why the hell would you buy one?

[alexc3589]

@Tyutyunnik it was given to me, only means of transportation

[RAPFlavour87]

All show and no go ? This is all just marketing talk. Of course this is not the type of car to drive hard by young people in their 20's but still aside from the interior features you could have dedicated at least 1-2 minutes to the engine+chassis,suspension,brak­es,performance,handling,ride comfort, etc.

[floatingnumber9]

@RAPFlavour87 I dont know about that, i have one of the V8 S80s and that thing is a rocket. I also drive it everywhere and pretty intensely. Its been holding up very well. Never under performs.

[Nefus1988]

If I would choose any Volvo it would be this one, V70 is uuuugly!

[DoorisJ]

and this car has collision avoidance and BLISS and LKS!!its da bomb

[jimiboy97]

MY MOM IS GOING TO BUY THE VOLVO S80 :D

[VOLVORULEZ1995]

@jimiboy97 that exact one????

[tubedudelive]

Will someday be built in China.

[davidmartinsson2]

They will take all our jobs :( Dont think Volvo will keep its good reputation if produced in China.

[Mike060504]

u would like it large and meaty

[frederickt]

Want.

[helpmetony]

just test drove this yesterday. Comfy, tight, good power, quiet. nice.

[alstar999]

monotone much?

[livz4speed86]

i luv them turbos.

[gvidox006]

u suck!!!

[TheGustavoE]

This car is incrible!I lovi´t!

[piratapan]

This was a very good video.

[thomasucc]

can one image that the american bankers are thinking about bankrupting this european car company in favour of asia and american rubbish

[tootsiejoon]

@thomasucc NO...I hope not

[dave54303]

um if this car is for the old, then grandpa will be blowing the wipper snappers off the road lol. This car is compaired to the Lincolin MKS, they both have kinda same look and same features. But this cars faster and cost more

[ThousanWhite]

I'm really liking this car...

[eriksnoopy1]

i dont thik its for the old.. i think it looks great :)

[slbargas]

ugly!, my old stratus is better.

and the volume radio button is out center.., lol

[OGRMaster]

Volvo managed to add 10more years to the average age of their cars owners. I dont know how they do that but each new car except C30 looks older than outgoing model. Correct me if i am wrong. And is so luxurious to the point that is bland and boring!

[kevcrave]

's80 passed the iihs crash test, the only luxury car in its class did it, not the merc not the bmw'. volvo rule!

[fordgt700hp]

cause its a ford

[BklynJayL]

What's a Ford?

[bolognadetector]

"A very luxurious interior for the price??" For $40,000 I expect golden goblets and chandeliers! "For the price." Give me a break. This shows how out of touch people are with the true cost of things. People have no idea how much $40,000 is anymore because no one ever has to SAVE UP 40 grand. They all buy on credit which hides the true damage.

[Biankoneri]

it's 40,000 for the whole car, not just the interior. compared to other cars in that standard, the volvo s80 is very cheap.

[hazemvirus]

and ugly

[RokisFL]

Wake up, be smart... WTF...

[ribambojoe]

Have had a 2000 2.9(wish it was a t-series), for 7months now, put more than 12k miles on it and the car has been really good to me. its got decent mpg, ride quality, sound and above all unmatched safety rating (that is very important-at least to me)

[bigbzon]

Here in Sweden the S80 is sold with a large variety of engines.

2.0 (PETROL).

2.5T (PETROL).

T6 AWD (PETROL).

V8 AWD (PETROL).

2.0D (DIESEL).

2.4D (DIESEL).

D5 AWD (DIESEL).

2.0F (FLEXIFUEL).

2.5FT (FLEXIFUEL).

[kagolko]

oh I see. well I just could not believe, that they haven't done some diesel engines.. I guess Americans don't fancy economy engines..

[piuthemagicman]

Diesel is more expensive than petrol in US you know that?

[kagolko]

well diesel needs half of what petrol does. so it is still better choice..

[kagolko]

they should have done hybrid engine. nobody wants 3.0 turbo petrol engine, or even V8 petrol lol merc and bmw at least offer some proper diesel engines..

[bigbzon]

You got the 2.0D, 2.4D, D5, 2.0F and 2.5FT.

[wilsontt88]

Bought an '02 S80 & sold it at the price of a Corolla (talk about horrible resale value). There's something about my Volvo that just went wrong every month & just about everything seems to fall apart after 20k miles!

- Tranny twice - 20k & 55k

- Bulbs - nearly every 3 mths!

- Oil leak - 30k

- Bent rotor - 40k

- Climate Control - 35k

- Engine light - Lost count how many times!

- Poor resale value

- Extremely poor reliability

Just look at how many angry S80 buyers at carsurvey(dot)org

[wilsontt88]

But don't get me wrong. It's a very quiet, smooth & comfortable vehicle, with kidney bursting range (large fuel tank) and a very comfortable seat for long range road trips. It really was a great car - while it works!

[bigbzon]

Maby its havent been taken care of?

[mrhosehose]

I'd have one - the present Volvo range looks really great, especially the S80, V70 and C30 - really restrained - Swedish class and subtlety

[avcomth]

Can somebody please tell me why these Americans describe engines by its cylinder number and not actual displacement?? How do you estimate the size of the engine then if you don't describe the actual litre displacement??!!??

[xNIAC1Nx]

Most drivers do not care, even the idiotic ones don't, all they need to hear is how much power it puts out and the so called 'size' of it by cylinders. We describe engines by it cylinders, not it's size. But do remember, the S80 uses an Inline-6, so it's going to be quite large anyway.

[Sean1234000]

I have the s80 /2009

[lordbacon82]

i have just bought one of these...and i`m convinced it`s the best car there is....but i could be wrong...:)

[qernst8]

I would so torture my rear seat passengers with that headrest button muahahaha.

[looncraz]

I rented one a few years back and found it hard to resist...  so hard, I just quit trying ;-)

[ihategeneralmotors]

I've got a 2001 with the same feature. It's so much fun to torture the peeps in the back!! Lol

[vingebil]

@qernst8  hahaha XD

[takethat17]

@qernst8 guess what i m doing all the time :D:D

[BAURELIA1987]

@qernst8 

[wafflescantalk]

@qernst8 My s80 has that, and I always do that to my friends. They hate it xD

[CS1503]

@qernst8 My brother does the same thing with his 2002 S80 T6!

[Bartkens]

@qernst8 I do it all the time hahahah

[BePro7]

@qernst8 my dad does that all the time

[speedcontrole]

Volvo For Life <3

[RSCII]

Volvo For Life.

[alfredo881009]

my baby :P

[NorthStarOlds]

I would use that headrest button to hit people

[caraddict520]

thts what my friends dad does. all. the. time.

[NorthStarOlds]

haha does it hurt?

[caraddict520]

hah. actually not rly. u feel it. but the headrest is rly soft so nah.

[NorthStarOlds]

New Jersey!

[Nefus2]

0:13

It looks so ugly with the american license plate. When It´s constructed to fit more wider license plates.

[Watcher3223]

Which is a good thing I live in Florida as you only need a rear license plate here, leaving the front unplated.

[Nefus2]

2:03

What does Volvo have in safety that the others don´t? I mean all modern cars do have airbag and collision warnings etc. It is something in the chassi that makes the car different in safety?

[1g2002541]

yes, The metal sheets varies by manufactures, even by distinct models. Structure matters a lot. Even Airbags are not designed even.

[constantthrottle]

you are correct foxx0, Mercedes and SAAB have the dropping headrest, but they drop back into the parcel shelf. Therefore, a passenger doesn't have to flip it up, which is unsafe. The volvo headrests flip forward forcing you to use them. Much safer.

[foxx0]

that headrest drop thingie was in mercedes in 1995.. still, beauty of a car this s80 is

[USGiorgi]

Im 19 years old. I drive a S60 T5. I am living a dream. I wanted to get a nice sporty sedan when I graduated from college, little did I know that I would get one on my freshmen year. Believe me people, if you have a chance to buy a volvo, do it. You will not regret it.

[thuglife4ever721]

at 2:45 speed limit 5.....wow

that means you cant even run in that neighborhood

[TapTapTido]

I WANT THIS!

[zweio112233]

Volvo is my favorite car by far.

[TapTapTido]

Same

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

I'm gonna buy a Volvo when i grow up!

[anurek123]

its cheaper, its powerful, its safe, thats value for money. and i like it!! V8 sounds great!!!

[th3ha1og0d]

But overall good effort, I'd easily take this over an E class Benz.

[th3ha1og0d]

interior looks too old man-ish

Reminds me of the interior of my Grandpa's 1990 Lumina. Now I don't care what anyone says, I know this is a great car, but I don't think a car of this class and price should have me reminiscing about a 20 year old land barge.

Try again Volvo, something with a little more style maybe.

(Remember that this car is just a very well rebadged Ford Taurus, you'd never think it but it actually is.)

[sleds12]

I totally disagree with you, I had this car as a loaner while my land rover was in the shop. the interior is Swedish modern, and simplistic. i think its the best interior ever! this car has a much more timeless design then some of its competitors. it also feels very light and airy, especially driving it in the snow. plus its really comfortable, seats can go from fat ass American recline stance, to land rover command position, and do it great! this design is what the big 3 need to catch up to.

[Krille3]

Awsome car!

[mrhyde911]

I recently visited a Volvo dealership in my area and I have to say that the seats in the S80 are by far the most comfortable car seats that I've ever sat my fat, soggy ass on.

[hgfrjkgfjjj]

I just love this car. and the color inside vanilla is just awesome and it's a very safe car on the same time luxury!

[cruiseship360]

i have a 2001 s80 t6

[kevcrave]

Volvo for life!

[BklynJayL]

It's a very nice car but, I like the Lincoln MKS better.

[fordgt700hp]

well their the same brand but ok

[BklynJayL]

True.

[naitzirc]

Swedish Steel Owns :D

[hirre]

@naitzirc  Chinese, not swedish :) ;)

[derbigpr500]

@hirre Why are you being so stupid? You like being stupid or...? Volvo has NOTHING, i repeat, NOTHING to do with china. Chinese company just OWNS it, like it owns many other companies. Volvo is still a volvo like it always was, and chinese people have absolutely no influence in developement or production of volvo vehicles. Even the chinese company chairman Li Shufu said that they will not influence the image of volvo cars in any way.

[morrarN]

@hirre Are you trying to be smart or what, Dumb fuck

[ferrari7300]

it´s not even cheap it´s cost 50.000 thousand dollar

[naitzirc]

300.000 sek for the 08..

and about 50.000 for an older one

[ferrari7300]

not even my dream car

[willytrouble]

volvo has one of the nicest interior ever. simple, smooth, beautiful. not to mention its the safest car out there, and not the audi, bmw or benz. volvo for life.

[windex1122]

ha your a new jersey guy? i hate your kind

[zilverfin]

well, in in places like europe and sweden where these cars are made, are really cheap there...

[avp715]

thats like the worst interior color you can get

[Naghund56]

Sorry, Compared to what?

[avp715]

notice i said "worst", not "worse"

[Naghund56]

Oops, busted. Yes indeed there is a distinction. Funny how people get defensive over there chosen brand.

[Jam9ten]

the V8 one please

[djkasdjkasdjdjdj]

my mom just bought a volvo s40 last month!!

and now there's a new one!

[Boiijust07]

my mom has this

[kuwaityyy007]

i love it

guys i am in my way to buy s80 v8

so.. any advice ?

[KiloByte69]

Enjoy!

[luie425]

ha NJ and Volvo the best! I love them

[stahocesba]

love it!!!

[2Kriss2Kross]

true dat..it is teh best car...i want one so bad!

[willytrouble]

volvo, best car out there.

[bpettit79]

I own a 1999 Volvo s80 with a turbo v6... T6. My car has over 100,000 miles, and is a good car. Very fast, and smooth. The rear headrest option in this video is present in my car, even the button up front. Nice car, normal wear and tear is more expensive than most cars that are 10 years old. But they are safe, and for the most part, reliable. A little more expensive when it comes to normal upkeep.

[dreamer4614]

i really like this car....id like to get one. maybe next year.

[cubanomx2]

more security in s80. turbo 6? how much HP?

[KiloByte69]

If Volvo can equip this car with factory optional navigation + bluetooth it would be a true hit.

[bigbzon]

I comes with Bluetooth and GPS navigation if you order it.

[petershen1984]

Looks like a lot of thought, the rear headrests flipping forward..

[TCorolla12]

my dads got this car and its brillaint

[ootobanyargici]

i love you my life.because volvo bodyguard to me.

[sgtcht92]

better than a merc or bmw in every way.

volvo for life :P

[tuque999]

Très belle voiture confortable et sécuritaire. Si ce n'était pas du prix élevé, j'en aurais une tout de suite, mais...

[SnowAlpineBunny]

Swedish Magnificence
