my neighbour used to have 1. Big time regret! Costs a bomb to repair.
The car is very unreliable and breaks down without any warning. He was stuck at the LDP highway during lunch time when the car suddenly died without any warning. You open your eyes big big and see: how many S80 are still on the roads? Most of already sold to junkyards. Nobody wants this car. |

QUOTE(cyxnide @ Feb 18 2021, 11:45 AM) I saw some of the reviews online and it seems like the gearbox and electrical issues are the main thing plaguing this car... E46 is not cheap to maintain either...but the Volvo is even worse. trust me man. Stay away from Volvo.How expensive was his repair I wonder? Will be even higher than my E46? |

QUOTE(cyxnide @ Feb 22 2021, 11:25 AM) First of all, thank you everyone for your inputs and advice. We have succeeded in helping you avoid all the trauma and agony of owning and maintaining a volvo. You can thank us now.And after some intense discussion, we have decided to keep the E46, as much as I think the Volvo or other cars will make me drive more sensibly, I still can't help but love how well the E46 handles, sounds and drives.
