Reviewed a 2004 Volvo 2.5T AWD on Jul 26, 2007

I bought this late model 2004 S80 AWD about 6 weeks ago. I had decided that I wanted specific features such as AWD, leather and a sunroof. I wanted a car and not an SUV, so my choices were limited from a foreign car company standpoint. I wanted to keep the cost below 25k, so I certainly wasn't initally striving for a luxury car. I looked at new Subaru's, Toyota's (no AWD car) and Ford's. The price was around 30k for all the options that I was looking for. I had driven a number volvo's a few years ago when I was travelling on business on a regular basis and renting many cars. While looking on line, I came across certified used Volvo's. I read the warranty and was impressed that I could buy a luxury used car, for under 25k, and get a warranty that is essentially the same as what you get with a new car. I love this car! It is incredibly comfortable and effortless to drive. The mileage is decent for such a powerful car. I can't wait until the winter so that I can experience the handling in snow and ice.
