Re: S80 Reliability/Quality? S80 2002

Does your wife share your desire for the superior performance of the turbocharged engine? Most of the folks with "tales of woe" on various S80 and new V70 message boards have the T6 model. However, it is the automatic transmission, and not the engine, that is the source of complaints.

My wife has a 2001 normally-aspirated engine S80 (197HP) that we lease. It is much more powerful than my 1994 Maxima GXE, and is the best vehicle we have ever owned (or leased). I would get into trouble if we had the T6 model.

There are quality lapses evident, but they are of the "annoyance" variety.
