What do you think of the Volvo S80?

Hi lads...

What do you think of the Volvo S80 2004-2006 2.0-litre petrol? I see a 2005 one for €3,750 with 97,000 miles on the clock.

Hi Justin,

Nice car, but just make sure that you're not planning lots of long motorway journeys in it as that 2.0-litre petrol engine can get a bit thirsty. Otherwise, check for electrical gremlins and make sure that the front tyres are wearing evenly - if not, the suspension could need adjusting or repair.
