RE: Volvo S80 2.0 SE CAR review
To answer Brand0's question, the Volvo USP which most attracts me are the seats. Now that GM no longer deigns to put proper seats in Saabs, Volvo has the best seats in the business. And the one part of the car used 100% of the time are the seats. Once you are used to the best, anything else becomes offensive. I wish I could speak more directly about the ownership experience in Europe, but in the States, Volvo is one European make with consistently human dealers (unlike the German brands,) and good reliability (unlike Audi, which has many former owners in the States, myself included, who'd never buy another due to inexplicable, out of warranty, catastrophic failures at minimal mileages.) As for looks, once you are in the car, you can't see it, and the interiors are quite pleasant and practical. As a transportation tool, Volvo's have a lot going for them, without insulting your intelligence at any point.
