"some criticism from sources like Consumer Reports.....' S80

posted by  someone claiming to be Calvin on  Wed Apr 9 05:52 CST 2008 [RELATED]

hmmm.....I must be having a mid-life, risk taking crisis because I am also looking at a 2001 bevel gear, oops...I mean XC70.

Interestingly, in years past the S80 was on the Consumer Reports "worst buys" in used cars list. When I looked at the 2007 list yesterday, the XC90 was the only Volvo on the list. Where are the S80 and XC70?

I've looked at MSN and at ConsumerGuides. Have you got any other sources for reliable reliability information (or is there such a thing)?

When you search here or at VolvoSpeed, it looks like an overwhelming amount of bad experiences - but how representative do you think that is overall?

Anyway, thanks for your response.
