S80 Reliability/Quality? S80 2002

posted by  someone claiming to be Hbum on  Tue Dec 11 09:03 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I have been lurking about the board for a few days. This is my first post. I may become a Volvo owner next year.

My youngest son bought his wife a 2001 S80 T6, got a pretty good deal. She has always wanted a Volvo so he showed the good sense of buying her what she wanted. My wife rode in the car and wanted one. However, the good deals on 2001’s are about gone. For that and other reasons we have delayed our purchase until next year. She is driving a 1991 Nissan Maxima so it’s about time for a new car for her. I after driving a S80 and a Acura 3.2TL Type S, I believe I would buy the Acura. These two cars are the only one’s we have driven that we like and have the interior room we need. I worry about the reliability of turbo charged engines and the performance of the two cars is about equal. Not to mention the $10K difference in stickers.

So the question is, how do you like your S80? How is the reliability? Has Volvo fixed the problems reported on earlier S80’s? Any opinions on the S80 compared to Acura 3.2TL Type S?
