General Comments:
S80 is a large heavy barge of a car from Volvo. Love these old executive cruisers. The car is amazing to be in, luxurious feel. Gorgeous to look at and great to drive.
My car is black outside and has a beige leather interior. Seats are the most comfortable I have sat in, and the wood effect is nice (if fake plastic ;)) but is never feeling cheap. Plenty of features on this model. Touch screen is small even by 2014 standards, but I still prefer analogue controls to use today.
2.4 diesel with the auto box is very fast. It also can manage 40 - 45 mpg, not great for diesel but good when you consider the weight and size and performance of the car.
Not cheap to buy and run, but well worth it if you want a classic solid executive car from Volvo, last of its kind.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
