Strengths:
turbo great, blind spot camera, blue tooth, new head lamps very sporty and great in bad weather. excellent on ice and snow. Seat are a wow heated front and back seats. lots of truck room.

Weaknesses:
cup holder and no eye glass holder no big deal..

Summary:
Nice car. People I have read review here and they seem to not get it. This is NOT a BMW NOR abig expensive fancy car. You get alot of bang for you buck and a great safe car. I have driven all over the world and BMW and others are lovely but I can not offered there maintence nor they name band snob attitudes. I have had three volvo's can down from XC90 to lease this great car to and love it is just beutiful a real ladies car safe and the turbo is fun. Get the package deal and you will get a excellent car for the $$$. Volvo has now style safty NO more blind spots and added turbo for speed. I hate to say this but American have no idea about speed nor saftey until they drive in europe. The 2009 has only gotten better. I have had BMW and other expensive cars they are costly to fix and maintane. Give this a try people and give the 2009 a try these other review are way old.. PS Lease package is great...

2005 S80 AWD 2.5T

Strengths:
Seats are best in the market. I have driven cars worth twice as much as this with less supportive seats. Volvo does well. The AWD and Dynamic Stability Control systems are the best out there. This car along with its robust built, balance and AWD and DSC make it the best in road safety and control in slippery conditions.

Weaknesses:
The Swedes will never get the cup holders right. Do they not drink coffee in Sweeden.

Summary:
This is my third Volvo and I am extremely impressed with the fit and finish and overall ownership. I opted for the All Wheel Drive motor with the Dynamic Stability Control and cant say enough on how well it handles Canadian Winters. I find myself in Northern Ontario roads in less the desirable conditions and the S80 outperforms any SUV or 4x4 Truck you might try to compare it to. Volvo for Life.

2004 S80

Strengths:
The strength in this case was the response from the dealership. We had a sit down meeting with sales manager, repair manager salesman and customer. We were treated with respect, given a loaner and the next day had a new 2004 V70 AWD, free mats and even a small refund. Top notch dealer and that counts a lot. This is my second V70AWD...love the car. Going to stick with it and check in on the sedan in about three years. Safety-safety-safety. That is a real big strength with Volvo.

Weaknesses:
Side mirrors a bit small. Can't see radio display in daylight. I hate all cup holders. Not much of a negative list when you get down to it.

Summary:
Traded in my V70AWD 2001 for a 2004 S80Took it back after 53 miles because of a transmission whistle. Dealer was upfront and said they whistle sometimes at various speeds. Liked the car, nice ride, perfect workmanship. Small side mirrors. Great looking quality car. But I went back to a 2004 V70 AWD Wagon.
