2000 Volvo S80 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
There were no significant changes for Volvo's flagship S80 lineup this year. A new option group made rear sun-blocking curtains available this year.
The S80 is available in two trim levels: the 2.9 and the T6. The lower level 2.9, as the name indicates, is powered by a 2.9-liter inline six cylinder engine. This power plant generates 197 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. Gas mileage for the 2.9 is estimated at 18/26 mpg. The T6 houses a turbocharged 2.8-liter inline six, supplying 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The EPA estimate falls to 17/25 mpg with this extra power. Both engines are paired with a four-speed automatic transmission.
This flagship Volvo ranges in price from the mid-30s to the low 40s, but features are commensurate with the cost. Both models include the luxury essentials like dual-zone automatic air conditioning, cruise control, eight-way power front seats, a driver seat memory, heated power mirrors and keyless entry. The upper level T6 adds a few features and performance upgrades, and options on both models include Dynamic Stability Traction Control, a navigation system, a sunroof, CD changer, and an infrared-reflective windshield.
Consumers list passenger and cargo room, durability, safety, and performance among the S80's top features. The T6 speeds from 0 to 60 mph in about seven seconds, and test drivers report no significant turbo lag when accelerating off the line. The base 2.9 rides a little rocky at higher speeds, while the T6's sport suspension may be a bit intrusive on some uneven services.
Inside, the S80's cabin is well-shielded from wind and engine noise, and the controls and gauges are clearly marked and easy to operate.

I do think the car is worth it as long as you dont have to put a lot of money in it.Aug 16, 2020

Whereas in the past I would get the itch to buy a new car every 2 or 3 years, I have kept this Volvo since 2002, 12 years as my daily driver, the car is 15 years old. Regular maintenance on this car will make it last forever. I am handing this car to my kids as a safe "first car and I am happy to be able to do so.Feb 20, 2015

Car is ok. But if you have more than 2 kids, you need V70 model. Car is quite big but trunk is not so big. Exmple baby carriage, you need to take tyres out before it fits in. Inside the car space is ok.Mar 11, 2012

I must have gotten a lemon. My folks had this car from new and gave it
to me in high school. It was a pretty car, perhaps the prettiest Volvo
when new. The original S80 inspired the designs of each new Volvo
since, if that tells you anything. It could hold its own in the
performance realm, but was born to be a comfortable, luxurious
executive sedan and performed that role excellently. Then, it fell apart.
This car had something else broken every time I opened the door.
Cracked and leaking heater core that leaked antifreeze into the
floorboard, broken plastic interior parts, ground-out transmission,
busted sunroof track, electrical nightmare... the list goes on. Such a
shame, it was a nice car.Dec 02, 2011

all of the above. High dollar car easy to maintain and parts are cheap. Great gas milage and allot of luxury for a good price. Very understated on the performance side as well as a miser on the milage sideJan 03, 2011

lovely and comfortable, but engine quite thirsty. would recommend diesel. performance good, as is handling for a big saloon. some electrical gremlins starting to appear, but it is 10 years old. build quality very good, typical solid volvo. i feel very safe in it. it is a fun car to drive, but you will need a big wallet to drive it that way. spare parts seem reasonable.Aug 27, 2010

It's fun to drive. But maintenance cost is a bit high. Excellent handling for Winter driving. After 7 years of ownership, electrical warnings on and off in occasion are quite nuisance. Interior build is still intact and no rattling while driving.Oct 29, 2009

This is a car more suitible to buisinessmen. Fast and comfortable. Fats on straight roads due to it's twin turbo engine, but don't try speeding in the corners, becaus heavy body and poor handling will show theyr faces here. Build quality is average. Aug 24, 2009

Great comfort and quality. Ride like a king and still have the speed and power of a sportscar. Discrete, a wolf in sheep clothes. Needs chip-trim to release limit-speed 250 and more acceleration. Upgrade to better breaks and needs 40mm Lowering Springs to get more handling. Ownership and repairs are low.Jun 26, 2009

Performance - great acceleration, twin turbo, fast car.
Quality - minor problem with an oil leak, but
otherwise a very well-built car.
Appearance - Volvo's newer body style, very nice,
better than the old boxes they used to make.
Cost - average mpg so far is about 21.5, but I haven't
had it on the highway much yet, so that should go up.
Fun - VERYApr 01, 2009

just bought a 2000 t6 95000 miles for 7500 and think i got a good deal although im worried the mileage is high and hope i didnt make a mistake not buying the 2001 executive edition one that had66000 miles for 10500.00. i like the rear seat that goes down. great option. thespeed and handling compared to my lexus 400ls is much better and you can feel the drive like my bmws but not as good but different. its not a 740 but its not that much money. i havent driven it enough yet but all i know is i love the car and the price. if it runs 30000 miles and doesnt break thats great and i think it can do 10000.00. i also heard there was a warranty that was good but cabnt recall. if the car lasts as long as they say and nothing starts to milk me then i say its the best deal i ever got on a used car. except my m5 1988 that i got in 1991 for 18000 i think with 32000 miles. bmws though tend to break at the 10000 mile level and i have had a few. i drive a car hard and run high rpms and downshift alot. volvo should try a good sports car i drove the convertable and it felt like a volkswagen. i was not at all impressed esp. for the high dollar i could buy a mercedes. crazy pricing.Jan 02, 2008

Great travel car Have had the car for a couple of years now. It has not failed on me once. I hear that repair costs are expensive, but have not had anything done yet. I am about to get a timing belt replacement done since the car is at 105,000 miles and it will be about $650. I car is solid; it does not rattle, the road noise is very minimal and the stock stereo is great, but I just could not resist putting two twelves in the back. It does not accelerate the fastest, but it goes quick enough.
The leather has held up over the years and still looks fine, no holes. All electronic components still work including the wonderful heated seats, that are 8-way electronically adjusted with 3 memory buttons that the car can recognize different people when they unlock the car with the remote, the seat will adjust. The car is very heavy, which wears down the breaks and puts a lot of dust on the wheels, atleast for how i drive. It is Fwd and handles like a champ in the snow. It has standard traction control, plus a winter driving mode that helps as well.
If you are looking for a good cheap car, a used s80 is the perfect car. in Feb 2006, I picked that car up for $9,500 with 87,000 on it and after 18,000 nothing has failed.

The fastest and heaviest so far. The dealer doesn't seem to work harder (repair close at 4pm)and a guy who doesn't dress rich is not taken seriously at the Alpharetta GA dealer.Try to maintain trouble free after learning expensive parts prices( at least buddies can help to fix to avoid labor).
I did not make a research on smaller T6 2.8L engine go better and faster than 4.7 L Cherokee engine. Gotta watch odometer for speeding. I still cant believe whats wrong with me in the traffic lights and look at back mirror after 4 seconds of acceleration how much I passed from the cars stay behind.
A single person like me should get s60 or smaller but I had a good deal.One important safety hint, push "W" button to make you feel better during heavy rain and keep STC light on.

Why do the ignition coils keep burning out on my 2000 s80? I have replaced 4 coils in the last 8 months.
AM I DRIVING THE CAR TOO MUCH? I PURCHASED THE CAR IN DECEMBER 2006 WITH 101,000 MILES. NOW I HAVE 136,000 MILES. I HAVE MADE TO ROAD TRIPS OVER 2000 MILES EACH. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIMING AND COILS, OUTSIDE OF THAT SO FAR SO GOOD. OH, ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND HAS BEEN OFF FOR MAYBE 15 MINUTES, THE INSIDE FAN COMES ON AS IF I HAVE THE A/C ON BUT ITS NOT COLD AIR.
