Reviews
- "Handling lacks grace, the ride is neither sporting nor luxurious, and the whole car just feels overwhelmingly boring."—Car and Driver1
- "The 3.2 model trails rivals for power and isn't offered with all-wheel drive. T6 and V8 versions are more in line with luxury buyers' expectations, and judiciously equipped, can undercut V8-powered competitors on price."—ConsumerGuide2
- "Sanely priced and loaded with cutting-edge safety features, the 2008 Volvo S80 is a sensible choice for a midsize luxury sedan. Its restrained show of opulence and performance, however, puts it at a disadvantage alongside more passionate competitors."—Edmunds.com3
