VOLVO S80
SALOON (1998 - 2005)
2.9 4dr [Geartronic]
Review
uberior, Scotland
Pros:
Terrific motorway cruiser with luxurious cabin, safe and speedy
Cons:
Tyres replaced every 9000 miles. Heavy depreciation but that is an opportunity for the secondhand buyer.
Comments:
This is a handsome large car where the power is available for overtaking. Long journeys are low stress and on these fuel consumption can improve to c. 27 mpg. Town driving is thirsty but for the countryside dweller this beats is well suited, with geartronic helping out in Nordic weather.
