Reviews of the 2008 Volvo S80 T6 AWD
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2008 Volvo S80 includes innovative safety technologies such as blind-spot, lane-departure, and driver-fatigue warnings. The engine is a good compromise between power and economy.
The Bad: Surprising for a car focused on safety, Bluetooth hands-free integration isn't an option. Audio sources are limited, and navigating MP3 CDs is tedious.
The Bottom Line: The 2008 Volvo S80 is one of the more comfortable cars we've tested, and gets good mileage for a car of its size. Cabin tech doesn't go out of its way to work with personal electronics, but the safety gear is cutting edge.
