    Just bought a 1ST Gen 2.9 S80. Best car I have ever driven. No turbo fun but what a fantastic engine and nice drive. Going to use time and money to restore it to 100%.

    Not too bad as a description of the characteristics. The P2 S80 will become a classic.

    Nice. Love my 03 2.9 p2 s80. Unfortunately I have a coolant leak that just started but it’s almost at 200,000 miles so I’m not surprised. Slowly getting him back to pristine condition since November. Yes the seats are comfiest, I love daily driving it ✨

    Hey man, that was a nice review! I just bought my first volvo s80 P2 2003, mine is the 2.4 D5 diesel though. Came from a honda civic and oh boy do i feel like royalty, indeed these seats are the most confortable that i've ever sat on any vehicle. Mine has the phone thing which is kinda cool to show friends. Got it for 2500€ from my uncle who was getting rid of it for a XC90. Best deal ever!

    It might be rough shape and look like poop but ill let you know that this engine and those seats will serve you if you drive to the moon and back, strong non turbo engines and most comfy seats ever... i have same seats on my 2002 S60 and 2.4i , it has 300k km goes like new. More comfy than my 2015 Polestar V60

    Interesting comparison and you actually gave better insight the most of the automotive media. The core of the problem was not random Ford parts that people want to make a mountain out of a mole hill out of (Volvo was permitted to maintain separate engine lines, were given superior transmissions than what they had during their own management that Ford was willing to pay a premium from third party vendors to get instead of using their own in house designs, most of the interior is unique to the model, and remember that Volvo used joint venture designs in the past like the PRV engine and the DeLorean used interior parts from them so it's not like every Volvo was 100% unique to Volvo alone). It wasn't Ford cheapening it (Ford improved that part). And I don't think it was the styling or the platform as I think this was still based off of a Volvo platform just Ford shared it.
    It was they transitioned from LUXURY to luxury SPORT. This and the price increase that would go with it more than anything else would alienate customers. When you need a vehicle that is about comfort more than anything else you understand this principle. You don't care about a lot of these other things as long as it gets you from point A to point B in comfort.

    I'm driving S80 model year Early 2016. Inside and outside tweaked, only downside is it only as 4 cylinder 2.0 liter engines - I have a diesel... and I am really big fan of it... The interior is bit more sophisticated compared to 2009 model

    They both look pretty nice. But always heard the 2001s were very unreliable and often broke down. Maybe it’s the twin turbo version particularly. That’s why the 01 can be had for a song. These problems were ironed out in the P3s, so the story goes. For value I think the P3 wins hands down.

  • @Jeffrey_M

    P3 was compromised by sharing a Ford platform. It did not have Volvo proportions. The front overhang particularly.

      @@muckle8 yeah on the
      electrical parts it would be a very Complicated process, and most very likely it would need a Volvo Technician/Tuner that knows how to work on Aisin Auto Gearboxes.
      Although, You most definitely would need a wiring harness, Transmission control module with Code that fits the Gearbox itself, and a Proper not very high mileage but mid or low mileage Aisin Tf80sc Gearbox.
      Note: you would also need to Rewire a couple of things, as for the Ecu from a P3 Doner car, i think you wouldn't need it, since i do not think P3s have a separated Unit managers like the P2 cars.

      @@TopherParkerCars With about 10 years of experience with Volvos, P2 is higher quality than P3 but not much.
      P3 had rust issues, faulty keys, failing ecm's, fuel pumps etc. Taking into consideration that Ford had massive funds for their Rnd compared to Volvo in late 90's the P3 wasnt that great. P2 4-speed automatic is gm-made and thats why its bad, Aisin made 5-speed transmissions are bulletproof.
      2.9 was average engine, the T6 was good enough, but maintenance was horrible ordeal. The true winners are 5-cylinder diesel engines and 2,4t and 2,5t engines which could last 400k to 500k without any issues. During Ford's ownership Volvo lost some of its identity and tried to appeal to owners of german cars.
      XC70 and V70 are propably the best of the P3 platform.
      The newer s80 isnt bad, its actually a lot better to drive, but not as comfy as the old model. Legendary Peter Horbury desinged the older model which was the last true Volvo of the two.
