Just bought a 2012 T6 Executive S80 and i’m absolutely in love with it, such understated beauty, here’s hoping it’s more reliable than my Alfa was.
I hope it’s still serving you well, I loved and miss my S80 dearly, it did everything exceptionally!
have a 2009 V8 with a gorgeous sounding Custom Sports Exhaust.. absolutely Love cruising in it 👊
I would to hear what that sounds like! It’s such a perfect cruiser 😆
Yeh been thinking about grabbing my Daughter to video me doing a few Drive-bys 😂 and Booting it 👊 leave it with me 😏
I actually saw a v8 version today. Most likely a wrap but it had that polestar blue colour
Birmingham street racing on the a45 by the bp petrol station. .👍👍👍
I think I know which one you’re on about, there’s one just like that on the S80 V8 Facebook like you described, did it have a spoiler on the back?
@@NathanMannin I can't remember but it was in hinkley I just drove past it
@@beastman.330 no... deffo not
@@NathanMannin 😅
If I'd seen this video before I bought my 3.2, I might have held out for a V8. The MPG on my 3.2 is so bad around town, I might as well have the V8. It's probably more efficient pulling all that weight anyway and man I would enjoy that sound!
What do you average on in town?
I can’t comment on the 3.2, but I can only commend the 4.4 V8, it’s such a peach and the soundtrack is so intoxicating!
@@NathanMannin I live in Santa Barbara which has a lot of stop signs, and not even driving aggressively, I get 13 MPG (US gallon). I believe that would be about 15.6 UK. On the highway, I max out at an average of 28 US MPG. The 3.2 does also sound pretty good, and it has dual exhaust and is no slouch, but it is just such a heavy car!
@@geoffreycarter3981 I wasn’t expecting it to be that low in terms of fuel economy, wow!
How much power is it running, I’ll have to listen to some RUclips videos!
Just had a 07 S80 V8 loved it was pretty impressive but sadly the Wisconsin weather got it a month ago and she’s now totaled out, 325hp stock and awd the cars are no slouch
Love mine too Adam! When you say totalled our, do you mean it’s sat away for the winter?
My I ask what happened
Totaled, as in crashed where the damage exceeds the value of the car.
Let’s just say I got continental extremes on it and went to take a corner on a snowy icy road and it went straight instead of left and I hopped someone’s driveway and Bent the whole front end, destroyed my cooling system and lower hoses
sounds soooo sweet. stlll enjoying my s80 2010 d5 T10 :)
Awesome car! Thinking about getting a 07 s80 with v8. 60k miles. What are some things I should look out for?
the windshield needs to be replaced.
Have enjoyed your S80 V8 videos. Thanks. Is it possible to lower the sat nav when the car is running or is it always raised? Do you still have the car?
Hello! Thank you so much for watching! Yes you can lower the sat nav screen via remote control or through the steering wheel buttons behind the wheel. I only have it raised for aesthetic purposes because I love how retro it is, and seeing how out of date the maps is with all the new roads and building developments around 😆 Unfortunately I no longer own this car, however I would own another in a heartbeat!
Hey, lovely videos! What made you sell yours?
@@Carolis4 Thank you for watching! I unfortunately had to sell up due to personal financial reasons.
why are you not using your high beam?
I did use my high beam
Вольво класс !!!
No premium sound. No FourC. No premium leather. No compass mirror. No nothing.
What the point of the V8 if the rest of the car is base.
I don’t need premium sound when I have a 4.4 V8. It comes with plenty standard which I’m more than happy with. The seats are supremely comfortable as they are, so no hardship there either. You also need to take into account there’s literally none for sale here. I also bought it because it was the cheapest one at the time. What’s the point? It’s a Volvo with a V8, that speaks volume in itself 😉 Even without the extras, it’s still and exceptional car.
The standard stereo on this is pretty satisfying tbh. I have not tried the premium one but Im very happy without it and I consider myself a bit of an audiophile. Plenty good for the car. And I'm glad mine does not have the 4C, it would be very pricey to maintain. Ventilated Seats are a must though in my opinion if they are going! Nothing worse than a sweaty back to ruin comfort.
Well, yea, I can see your point, but we don't need to glorify something more than it is.
The thruth is: the Volvo P3 was developed for the Si6 engine for the american market. Not the V8. The only reason why there was a V8 version is because that engine was already on the shelf as it was used in the P2 XC90 and the T6 was not ready at launch of the P3 platform. Sure, a V8 is a V8 and the sound is second to none but for all intents and purposes the T6 is the better engine. Once the T6 established itself on the market, the V8 was out the window, just as with many other brands, like the Audi S5 B8 for example which traded its V8 for the V6T transforming the handling and performance of the car like night and day.
In that perspective, the only reason why anyone who originally configured a S80 would want it with the V8 is as a loaded executive premium package. Then its kind of a cool car. If it's not loaded, the V8 is just old tech and added cost on top of an ordinary S80. That is the somewhat strange thing about this car: Who configures a somewhat stock S80 with a V8?
As a second hand a decade old nice-to-have-car, the issues and drawbacks with the V8 are well known by know. The corrosion of the front subframe which is unique for the V8 being one of the major ones. The cost of the part alone should scare off most potential buyers. Unfortinately, the S80 sedan never was much of a popular configuration of the P3. Even less so the P2 S80. Even the maxed out ones are left to rot. Noone drives them. The question then becomes for what benefit are we keeping these old gas guzzling dinosaurs running around if its just for the engine? Compare that to an alternative: If one wants the most out of "that" volvo design from the P3 generation, the recommendation would be to go find a V70 T6 and he or she will be immensely more rewarded in terms of "car package" than one will ever be with that old V8. Those are some seriously loved cars even today as they really have little competition among newer cars.
@@geoffreycarter3981the cost of a full setup of FourC shocks is a grand Eur (less than a grand brittish shillings.) and well worth the money. Not opting for fourC in the V8 is like skipping the AirCondition.
@@ch6290 how is it a silly comment to tell the truth? The S80 deserves more than this because it it aint nothing special because of the V8. There is no need to glorify it because of that. In most peoples view the V8 is a slow thirsty piece of junk and an encironmental hazars as such. The amount of fuel this thing consumes is just ridiculous in times of this. Its not even an option for something you use everyday. What makes the S80 special is all the other stuff that was available of which this S80 has none except the keyless enty option, satnav, sunroof and a few other things.
