I have an 07 like yours with 71k miles. It`s a wonderful cruiser car. Supremely comfortable, solid construction and the V8 engine will bring a smile with it`s sound from start up to acceleration. Launches hard from a standing start and coming up to speed entering a freeway is something to look forward to. My neighbor has a 2014 Mercedes E350 and he wanted to have an impromptu drag race late at night on a double lane freeway on ramp. I warned him he would lose, he did. Losing to a Volvo chuffed him badly..

Honestly speaking, you get incredible value for money if you buy a Volvo S80 V8. An enormously good torque and at an affordable fuel consumption. I have a Volvo S80 V8 in Summum version and then you can set how the steering should be. Light, medium and hard. Same with the suspension which has air dampers. It has an exquisite sound system. A wonderful car to drive and ride in. Really high quality. I love this car.

Thanks Nathan, I discovered this channel shortly after starting my search for my S80. I've now purchased one of those from autotrader with 33k miles on the clock in an 07 plate. I've had many volvos over the years from the 1.6 Drive V50 to my current XC90 T8 polestar, and whilst I've loved them all... the S80 is special for all the reasons you've said. My trip back from Glasgow also returned about 30mpg, so I was enormously pleased with that given I was expecting nearer 21! Keep these videos coming, be good to know how you get on fixing any issues as they appear, like you say I think there are only about 91 taxed S80 V8's in the UK, be good to keep them running! Thanks again for solidifying my good choice to get one!

I'm happy you like the S80! Since I've owned my S80 V8, I definitely drive slower (except when I merge...what a sound) and I listen to a lot more classical music too. It feels appropriate and it's a satisfying car to drive smoothly to that kind of music. The S80 does not handle great, but mine can handle mountain roads decently, and I’ve driven worse. The handling is my only real dislike. I could complain about the mpg, but it has the potential (as you’ve seen) to be very efficient for what it is.

i have the jacked up wagon version of the s80 (xc70) i've had alot of beemers and mercs through the years. and love them. but still i find that i love the old sweed being totally not a german car. its a car that wins you over the more you drive it.. its so quiet, so soft, the seats are so soft. its so relaxing and calm. and you get so used to it. and you feel it when you drive other cars. the funny thing is that because of this, we have repeatedly not gone through with selling it and getting a newer car.

I have an XC90 V8 - tremendous fun!

Love the review! Great car.

I looked at one of these today to buy as a second car as my wife keeps stealing my car for work. It's a 56 plate showing 130k I'm just struggling to value it as they are so few and far between. Are there any known issues I need to be aware of? I know the front sub frames rot out, this one had a brand new one fitted last year.

These cars sound so good with straight pipes. Good stock but beastly with an exhaust.

Do you think this car would be good as a 3rd car for a young lad who doesn't want to drive a regular limousine and have reasonably acceptable fuel consumption?

I'm not sure what they are doing with the car on your side of the pond, but I have a 2010 V8 Executive and I get around 17mpg. The best I ever got was on the drive home with it, at about 22 mpg. The car has only 72,000 miles on it. I do find the 'normal' S80s more comfortable, you give up a lot of the seat comfort when they added the massage function.

Stunning cars! and their seats and interiors are amazing!!!

Been looking for one over the last 2 months in the southeast U.S. seems to be nearly impossible to find one with 160,000 miles or less most on average that I see for sale have 200,000-230,000 miles and the owners still want $6k+ I’ve seen two pop up with 150,000 miles or less but they were undiserable colors. I really hate that champagne light tan color Volvo uses on their cars sometimes. I’ve owned 3 Volvo s60 T5s that came stock in “ash gold metallic” and I repainted them I don’t want to do that again.

I have just bought an S80 V8! Looking forward to getting in to it. Love your channel

Anyone know if it's worth buying one at high mileage? One popped up near me with 270k miles, but for pretty cheap.

I had one i flogged the crap out of it loved it

I know the feeling! This car has solved the riddle of why Volvo drivers “take their time”: We seriously enjoy the drive more than getting there.

i think u can leave ur key on the console and just press the start button tho

I'm curious if you adjusted your seating position you would feel more confident around the corners

The sound is supreme for a Volvo. But if you want instant throttle response T6 3.0 Twin Scroll turbo is the way to go.

How many miles was on your c63 when you bought it?

Love the noise of that v8

Hi, I consider buying one - so do you keep your opinion about this car? This clip has 5 months, so maybe something changed? :) Cheers.

That's impressive fuel economy Nathan! My naturally aspirated 3.0litre S80 only returns 28 mpg average fuel consumption. That's why I run mine on LPG! 😅

My Lexus has a fridge! Nice to see new vid :)

How reliable is you s80

I feel weird agreeing that the mpg is good for what it is but I know to get an 4 cylinder turbo petrol of that generation modded to that power will give you similar mpg

Bro theres not that many of them available...

Chocolate milk?????

It's hilarious that you think 26 miles is a long drive

Way expensive, and old
