Bro wtf, the cinematography was mind blowing for a damn Volvo. Think I’m gonna buy the t6 off your review

As an owner of an s80, this video gave me goosebumps. Everything you mentioned about the car is exactly on point! Its just a great, relaxing, smooth ride. Its especially great on these rural roads over here in Michigan . Great video man! Keep up the good work!

It’s a shame I had to scroll past all those dealer videos to see this because this is by far the best review out there for this car. You might’ve just convinced me to get it

My man here deserves more than 36 views for such nice work! 😤

I own S80 like this only 2.4 D5. Agree on every word, comfortable, reliable ride, especially on long distances. Driving this car you don't feel the need for racing or competition with others, just smooth ride.

This video is so underrated

Just a few days ago, I picked up an 08 T6 including climate package and Dynaudio with 105k on the clock for $4500. Man, I won't shut up about it. It's truly an awesome car. It's comfy, it's smooth but let me tell you - compared to a bimmer, this thing might not be fast - but compared to most mid-range domestic or Japanese cars, you'll be surprised. When I took it out for a test drive I floored it, not knowing what the engine was capable of, and it put me in the back of my seat. If anyone is on the fence at all about owning one of these, I hope this video helps. It's a superb vehicle. Great video!

Im still rolling in my 2003 Saab 9-3. Love it!

I was shocked to find a review of this car in the first place - there are hardly any review videos (not dealership info videos) about not only the S80, but the 2009 T6! The quality then far surpassed my expectations, and I couldn't believe it was uploaded only a week ago! Aside from my experiences driving a 2009 T6, I haven't really seen any other perspectives on the car, especially not in 2019. I think it is a superb car, and am quite surprised it has depreciated so quickly. I've got to say, despite the engine being more tuned to luxury and comfort than sportiness, the car has some real power when you floor it. Also, the Dynaudio speaker package is awesome - I'd be impressed to find a more rich set of speakers. The car was WAY ahead of its time, with features like adaptive cruise control, BLIS, auto brake, and Bluetooth connectivity - features that many are impressed to find in cars in 2019! Despite not being built for sportiness, I think this car offers a great overall package in both luxury and sportiness fields with a 2019 feel to it. The only thing I would have liked is for the looks to be a bit less bland - it doesn't have a "face" as many cars do nowadays. Thanks for making this video - it's what I'd been (unknowingly) waiting for since 2009! (And yes, I liked, commented, and subscribed)

I've been looking for a car that's unique, sporty, maybe even rough. This has changed my mind. I want that silky smooth feel. This video is phenomenal. You will go places sir. Amazing

Excellent review! As a 2012 S80 owner, this car has been incredibly reliable and really isn’t that expensive to maintain. Cheaper to maintain than its German rivals. This is the choice if you want to stand out from the crowd. Downsides are that it has poor resale value and extremely difficult to resale. Buying and owning one is a long term commitment. I tried so hard to get rid of it and I failed. I decided to keep driving mine till the wheels fall off.

I'm in the market for the S80. This has to be best review of any car I've seen on KZfaq and I'm a KZfaq junkie. Review is very helpful. Thank you very much sir. You're awesome.

Safety n comfort - which is more important than sportiness for most ppl. Esp w heavy traffic on hwy. volvo seats are superior to audi A6 or bmw 535 -way underrated cars..

Hands down the best cinematography in a KZfaq review ever. I hope you are able to go forward with your reviews and maybe make a career of this. I am picking up a 2008 s80 v8 awd next week and was reviewing videos. Yours was the best produced. Thank you and keep at it, you have the talent to take you to the very top of this kind of review.

fantastic video! I loved the camera work and your commentary, everyhting was fantastic. Good job!

Excellent review dude. I like your delivery style. Good music, high production content.

Not even on the same side of the road but somehow this video showed up in my feed. So glad I clicked because man you deserve more subs! Kudos to you for such a good video! Well done sir and keep up the good work!

I own a volvo s80 from 2005. I didn't find out about the second generation s80 until today and I want to upgrade...

I have to say that this is one of the best car reviews i have seen in a long time. You deserve so much more views! Subscribed, not something i do often. Keep it up man!

When I was searching for my first car back in 2016 my 2009 S80 3.2 beat out the SIlverados, F150s and other large trucks I originally wanted. I got mine for $4,000 with only 162k miles on it. It's currently sitting at 211k miles and counting. The motor went out earlier this year and I love it so much I put the $2,000 to get it back on the road. I'd put a lot of nice upgrades on it from newer S80s as well as a mild exhaust due to the original being rusty. There's so many little things you can add that refreshes it into 2020 and still look modern parked around other newer cars. I love it, I've taken it all over.

Great review! Everything about the video was on point! Loved the back ground music and you definitely have the voice for this! Keep up the good work!

Must say I love my Volvo's, 2005 S60 at the moment which is my 5th. Stepping up to an S80 in the near future for sure... Thanks for this :)

G'day from Australia, bloody great review mate - done with absolute aplomb, very professional and articulate! The whole review was very imformative, and had a great upmarket feel! Certainly gave me the incentive and encouragement to go out and buy a 2012 S80 T6 AWD here in Perth Western Australia, though considerably more expensive here than in the US. So thanks for the high quality presentation, and keep up the good work mate! Job well done......

Nice video! You did great! Keep it up.

Great review! Recently purchased this car, very happy with it!

This video verbalizes how the 2009 S80 T6 feels. Great job sir, I appreciate the Quality spent on such a video.

S80 executive with the yamaha v8 is a proper sleeper :)

This video was very exciting ❤️

One of my mechanic uncle has this, where the wife drives it. Fall in love with the interior with beige color and 2 tone wooden steering. Sold my 320i M-Sport due to some unforseen financial issue(bought new) and i am glad that i did, after realizing that i cannot keep one model for long. Now, driving the 14th car and planning to own this lovely S80. I am from Malaysia and we a 2.5 T6 model which i more compelling in the interior compared to the 3.2 model that you are driving. I have been like crazy looking for S80 related videos in the past 2 weeks and finally found the BEST REVIEW so far. Thank you man. The presentation from someone just experiencing a few weeks drive and someone who owns are very different. You put them just right, line by line. Keep up the good job. I liked it and subscribed as well.

This was an excellent video and very helpful!

What a wonderful car this is. Its very nice to look at, the inside looks gorgeous and at that price points, it rocks

Thats a great video!

I'm a 2012 S80 owner (kind of second facelift), first car, even though it is a diesel powertrain, I do agree with everything you said about it. And the video itself is quite a tribute to this understated car that no one really knows... until they've sat in it. For that, thank you ! ;)

I was thinking s80 or s60...but after watching this definitely will go for Volvo s80.

Quality review. Subscribed.

this man is great

SUPERB review!! Extremely professional and professionally (actually, beautifully) recorded (filmed). Wherever you filmed this, the area was gorgeous as was the backdrop, wow! I absolutely LOVE my first generation 1999 S80 as it's the most luxurious car that I've owned to date and with the exceptions of Porsche and Opel, I've owned everything Germany has offered since 1982 (one BMW, two Mercedes-Benz, three Volkswagens, and three Audi's) and I'm done. I'm now on my third Saab and my second Volvo (the S80) and have found that the Swedish cars are more reliable and are grossly understated. My desire is to get a 2009 S80 so thanks for this superb video! Where was this shot?

Great review!

A relaxing review fitting for a relaxing car

Wow, just wow! I know I'm late to the party on this, but dude, what comprehensive, quality video. I've always loved Volvos.

Awesome video!

Well put together video and review

I have owned 4 Volvo S80s... Even compared with modern cars they are so smooth and comfortable Best car that i ever owned

Just got into my first volvo this week a 99 v70 and love it looking forward to my next one aswell

I have this exact car, and I love it!!

very nice work thanks :)

Great review man. Bit of a unicorn car this one. I particular liked it when the v8 Supercars here in Australia raced them for a few seasons.

This video made me get one i have the v8 version now its super fun

Own one, perfect review

I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation of the Volvo S80 v6 turbo.... I’m a 1990s Volvo 960 kind of guy and when they changed body styles to the S80 in 2001 I hated it, couple that with Ford’s meddling esp. that horrible transmission...they lost me. Over the years the body style grew on me...(sorta) you sir have convinced me to take a second look at the later 2000s S80. Thank you for such a well done overview..🤔😊

Wow. What a video! Great job.

Nice review👍🏼

Pretty nice video bro, made me like s80 even more.

Really nice video! I've got a Volvo S40 already and a S80 soon. :) I just love Volvo.. :3 ♥

Great video man ! I am about to change my car and thanks to you I'am really concidering buying a S80 T60. Before that I was looking only for BMW or MB.

Really excellent review,

27 bmw owners dislike this video lol

A perfect review of a stunning car...Hello from Sweden

Great work and great car. And stunning location. We have the XC70 xc90 and S40 here in Australia.

9 years removed from my ‘02 S80 T6, I went and got an ‘08 S80. So comfortable

I've subscribed and I will be sharing this video

My dad has a s80 2.5t (the untuned t5) 2009 - with 470.000km on the clock. Still looks and runs like a charm

Own a 2009 s80 3.2. Love the thing! I’ve owned Bmw before Volvo. The drive compared to my e70 x5 is equivalent or a bit better (despiting that my x5 has the upgraded better seats “multi contour 20 way adjustable”. Astonishing I couldn’t believe the comfort the s80 has the drive. Best of all it’s pretty powerful too! I got into s80s because my neighbor put a for sale sign on her s80 when she got a new car. Funny I used to see it every time I just to drive by and said “that’s a really nice car because it has the 17” regor wheels that pairs beautiful with the car. But never looked into it because I already owned a car and really didn’t know much about Volvo models. But when I did see the for sale sign I stopped to look at it and perhaps strike a good deal on it (which I did) To have as a daily and keep the BMW garaged to not use it as a daily (not very reliable and very costly to fix the BMW) that way I’m not wearing it out as much lol. But anyways it’s an ice white exterior and blonde interior. To me it’s luxurious and sporty (just a little customization and you will have the sport to it 😉. Im surprised the s80 didn’t have a better market. I think as he quoted in the video the Germans have taken over the market which is true I had my BMW first before Volvo. But I bought it because she lived on the same street which caught my eye. Love it daily driver perfect and stylish. And best of all it only has 79k on it when I got it. Perfect! Lol

I have a P2 Volvo s80 none turbo model I’ve had since November. Amazing car, most comfortable seats I’ve ever sat in and such a nice cushy quiet ride. Although a bargain it’s still a luxury car and maintenance on Volvos are expensive but parts galore thanks to iPd! Great video and nice to see it’s getting some love

Wow I just bought a 2009 s80 I love it only $4000

I own a 2000 S80. 260,000 miles and going strong.

I own an 08 s80 and I fell in love with them I stand by them 100% mingled with ford yes but so much of it is volvo...... The T6 and the v8 s80s have different suspension setups then the lower engines....... The T6 and v8s are pure luxury 👌

i have a Volvo S80 T6 with 210k miles and every mile is worth it for a wonderful smooth ride.

Old Video, However, Top notch quality. SUBSCRIBED.

Spot on review. I have an S80 V8 (63,000kms). Smooth, luxurious, quiet, very safe and with the most comfortable seats of any car I've driven. Recently drove from Melbourne to Sydney - it's the ultimate GT sedan - and the sound of the Yamaha V8 is awesome even with stock exhaust. This is a massively underated car.

Nice video... Superb car!

I picked up a late 2004 S60 2.4 D5 last week. It cost me £700. And it doesn't appear to have much wrong with it. I've owned many cars over the years, and this drives the best. It's fast when I need it to be (that big 5 cylinder diesel engine really kicks when the turbo comes on), but as you say in the video, I don't want to drive it fast. I just like cruising in it.

Thank you for this great review! I think this car also aged better than the German rivals.

Excellent video. Volvo are seriously underrated. And when I put the S90 against the 535i I ended up going S90

I agree with the review!

Don’t know if you will see this comment but just watched this review and it was really well done! I’m in MA and tomorrow going to check out a 2009 S80 T6 with only 62,000 miles on it for a little over 10,000. Hope everything checks out and I will buy it! Only 2 owners

Nice review. Miss my 4.4 V8.

Thank you for an absolutely amazing video! I have experience of two V70s, very comfortable cars indeed with ergonomic and relaxing seats. I missed the information so could you tell where this video was shot? Very beautiful scenery and country-side. My best greetings from Finland.

Love my 08 3.2N/A.

Why do you only have 2.64K subscribers..? A very good review sir..

Every word - so true ❤️

Basically what I've been saying for 15+ years. People put too much attention amd focus on sportyness, is it planted enough around bends? Is the steering responsive enough? Is the gearbox quick enough? Is the acceleration punchy enough to overtake 3 cars fast as it takes to overtake one car normally? It's like no matter the class it's judge based of a sporty GT and I don't get it. Judge it for what it is and compare it to it's equals. Ans as a reviewer talk about to to the people who look for what it offers or it's competitors. But it's always like the main group is track enhtusiasts and teens who just got their license and wants to have fun on any trip, to the mall, to their visits, to their jobs. Finally someone who get it!

Thats a very nice interior, my brother had a V8 S80 and it was beautiful and has the best exhaust note in its class IMO. I love Volvo’s choice of wood grain the colours are really nice.

Thanks for this review! I am looking into getting one of these and wonder how well has this vehicle held up over time?

volvo s40 d4 i have and i love it

nice beautiful video. you can also make a video about the older volvo xc90. that is also a car that is very luxurious but little is said about it. certainly the volvo xc90 se lux

I bought my S80 as my first car almost two years ago. While I’ve spent a lot of money replacing the driveshaft, AWD pump, water pump, wheel bearing, brakes/rotors, rear bushings, belts/pullys, PCV, vacuum booster, downpipe, etc. It’s been an amazing car to drive. The seats are by far the most comfortable I’ve ever ridden in… I would have no problem driving for 15+ hours straight in them. The performance audio is AMAZING, and pretty much everything else on the car was reviewed perfectly. (Although I do find myself wanting to drive fast sometimes lol). Next up are rear wheel spacers, ECU tune, new intake, new windshield, right front boot, and repainting the bumper (but we’ll see how much Im able to do because I’m in college atm). Such a great car, but PLEASE have a mechanic look at it (unless you are one), just as is the case with any used car. Don’t want to run into the same problems I have had. I purchased with 130k and have 155k miles now. I don’t know if I could ever sell my s80 (although I do want one with a Yamaha V8 :))

What's your opinion on the reliability? PS - well done video *subscribed*

Fantastic review! Definitely considering this as my next car after watching your review! I know that this review is more focused towards Volvo S80 being a German alternative but I'm curious to know at the 6k price point in the used car market how well does the S80 compare to the Japenese and South Korean flagship competition of it's era. Like for eg. '00-'06 Lexus LS 430 or the GS 430 or the ES300/350 and the first Gen '08-'13 Hyundai Genesis 4.6 V8 or the 3.8 V6 in terms of ride comfort and reliability? Perhaps, a future video on this?

Well done on the review! Hey! Have you ever checked out a V8 model? I would love see a video on that! There are not many out there.

What's the reliability/maintenance like? This would be a nice topic to cover in future videos. Liked the video.

This is a wonderful review. As someone keenly looking into a new vehicle, this S80 in particular stands out quite a bit more than the Avalons I've been looking at thus far. It's either this or an LS430 for me....hard, hard choice...

Nice editing

The s80 II was so ahead of its time in terms of modern looks and tech, that they basically ran the same design with minor tweaks up until 2016 thats how long it took the competition to catch up. Both generations s80 made volvo what it is today .It is also a plus for me personally because I drive the V8 version which will never happen again with volvo unfortunately. Nonetheless enjoy your s80's the swedes surprised me I can say the least.

I have driven both the 6 and the 8 speed transmissions and i must say i prefer the 6 speed. The 8 speed box feels restless and downshifts very agressively already at half throttle (i guess this was emission thing since the car had the new D4 twinturbo diesel engine). It got better when ECO+ setting was engaged since it didn't downshift as quicly. Also not being dual clutch the 8 speed feels quite jerky when it downshifts twice in a row. The 6 speed box is much more oldschool and thus better to drive.

Great vid went to Uconn. What’s the Achilles heel on the V8 s80? Trans hold up? Thanks

I agree, who needs a sports car when you wanna drive relax, not bumpy or racing???

My buddy had an s80 with the turbo i6 and he sold it but he misses it like crazy lol. It was a good car.

Well Said!
