I'm looking at gettign a Volvo S80 DRIVe 1.6 Tdi for our chauffeur business.
I have found plenty of online reviews from journalists but not from owners.
Most reviews seem to say that you get all you would expect from an S80 but its down on power, once upto motorway speeds its fine. The later ones seem to be returning 60+ mpg and only cost £30 per year to tax.
Anybody driven one - on test drive/loan even?

Fraid I've not driven one but sound ideal for chauffeuring - its not like you'll be gunning it off the lights or anything with a client in the back. I would wager its a fine motorway cruiser - best suggestion pop to your local dealer and take a brand spanker for a drive
