Very helpful, and amusing too :) The early twin turbo models had some reliability issues but otherwise have heard it was a good car.

Awesome design. BUT the build quality is very poor.

Thanks bro

One of the best cars I ever had

Mooie sportauto en simpel met fijn inklapbaar dak super

I have the T6 twin turbo version and i absolutely love it

Toujours un jolie voiture là 156 🍀✌️✌️

Best car I’ve ever had

Early 2000s Volvos are wonderful machines. The early 2000s S60 T5 is also amazing

This went far

I just got my first car, 2001 Volvo S80 2.4, 170horsepower, 5spd auto. Has been in our family since 2017, at the time of purchase 220,000km, 6 years later now its 286,000km, no major problems, had to replace some suspension bits, and the magneti marelli infamous throttle casing. Fuel consumption is about 12l/100 in city, 7,5-8liter HWY. Cheap reliable comfort!!

Love the white walls, looks very good!

This isnthe sport-1 pack version (dial wheels, black gauges, carbon fiber effect centrsl console, and sport cloth seats. Nkce one!

How did you manage to get a cube grille in a mk1 S80?

Nice

How much does it cost for the broken exhaust?

How tall are you and was Barchetta comfortable for you? great vids, happy to watch this car here

It looks almost identical to the S60 but comes with a superior range of engine options. It is the first car that features the inline 6 "T6" option.

The best car i have ever owned.I had for 16 years.👍👍👍

Nice video - and I love your sense of humour!

I had one of those in the UK when they first came out, I loved it. P707 TUF was the number and in red with black leather seats. I wish I'd kept it. I now have a 1970 FIAT 500, also left hand drive and absolutely no problem in a right hand drive country. It's just as much fun but in a very different way. Nice to see this.

Anyone have idea on fuel consumption

Picking up my S80 in a couple days, it's the t6 2.8 biturbo version though! But man your review on the car made me so excited, your humor is the best!

My dad used to have this car. I miss the car every day

As someone who owns a first-generation 2000 Volvo S80 i love the car. I think it's a beautiful and stylish luxury car. And it drives and handles very elegantly. is truly not a thing I dislike about the car I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's into Volvo. Volvo definitely hit the nail on the head when designing this car.

IMHo the S80 was the last true Volvo. I love my S 80 very much, especially for its looks, comfort, safety and power. Greetings to all Volvo fans around the world! :)

Cambelts went on my 156 2.0JTS....couldn't afford to refurbish. Really great car = my Alfa number nine!

The nav display raises up when you push the enter button hidden on the side of the steering wheel

Because Alfa Romeo 156 is super car!!!

seccond option is for the car alarm, just read the manual

That is a lot of car for 1500€ O_O and those are pretty bullet proof, the seats and suspension is really comfortable for highway cruising and roadtrips. But get the T6 or the 2,5T.

WALTER DI SILVA IS THE DESIGNER OF THIS ITALIAN ICON.///////////////////IF I CAN HAVE ONE 156 IN CARBON BLACK IN ITALIAN //NERO CARBONI//.

The 2nd button is the Reduce Guard switch. When pressed it disables the internal mass motion sensor for the alarm and if fitted the level sensors (activates the alarm when the car is jacked up). The W mode on the gear selector isn't a Wet mode but a Winter mode. It causes the car to start in 3rd gear to allow the vehicle to move easily under slippery/ icy conditions. If you ever wondered what the other 5 optional buttons do just for knowledge and info, for all 7 buttons you have: Electric headrest switch, Reduce Guard switch, DSTC/STC switch, Electric child-lock switch, Side Power Folding Mirrors switch, Auxiliary Lights switch and Valet Parking Rear Boot lock switch.

I have a 2006 s80. Love it!!!

Thanks this will help me I wanna get one ☝️ for myself!

proud owner of a 1st series t6 beast👍👍👍

Bellissima 😍

I made lots of business trips to Italy late 1990’s and early 2000’s I always booked my hire car in advance (by fax) and always requested a 156; I was never disappointed, fantastic car and a great start to any trip was driving away from Malpensa or Linate in a classy rental.

Best choice is a Lancia Kappa for me

I know this car because of Runabout 2

156 crosswagon owner... it is terrible. Not a week passes without the need for repairs...

There is someone who sell a 1998 2.0 ts manual with 230,000 kmh, he drives it on track from time to time, I drove it with him and it feels and sounds like an alfa! But Idk if to buy it from him because of 230,000 kmh, what do you think?

great review, mr "I dont know what I am doing" pfft! keep up the good work!

Currently driving the Volvo S80 2.4 170hp '00 in my profile picture. Beautiful car, drives really well and extremely reliable. Although I payed a lot more for it, I think it was still worth it considering a lot of parts were new on it. Plus brand new winter and summer tires with aluminum rims. 240000 km still going strong!

Nice and simple review. One question, is there another way of opening the trunk? It seems kinda unpractical to take the key out every time you want to pop it open. I'm looking at buying one, a 77kw diesel (Can't drive anything with more than 80kw till I'm 21, laws here suck) and they're very rare, and expensive for what they are (1600+ eur).

i have 147 and its much better than this and its under 1000€ 😁

How much should i pay for a facelifted 1,6 or 1,8, 2004 model in Very good condition with 150,000 miles on clock???

Io possiedo una alfa romeo 156 prima serie anno 1998 la tengo per ricordo di una persona che non c'è più a me da italiano le alfa non mi sono mai piaciute grande motore la, 156 ma gli interni potevano fargli molto meglio in passato ho avuto varie auto Renault 5 alpine turbo una golf serie 2 gl e ancora prima un austin allegro 3 hls del 1981 quella so che aveva bellissimi interni a quei tempi altro che le auto italiane 😊
