Go with the 3.2. Plenty of power and torque for city and highway cruising. |
Detailed review: |
After driving and considering a number of other autos including: BMW 5, Lexus GS, Infiniti M and MB E350 I chose the Volvo S80 3.2. While each car had 1-2 oustanding points, the Volvo felt like a better all around car and offered the best value. Volvo has really come a long way in the past few years with both interior and exterior design. Materials are top notch and seating is about the most comfortable I've found in this class (I'm 6' 2'' 210lbs). Handling is quite capable, but not as impressive as some other makes. Controls are simple and straight forward. Infiniti was nicest of all, but limited dealer network was a major downside. If you're looking for a comfortable 'family of four' cruiser this is it. |
