Volvo S80 sporty??

[IAmTheWalrus]

Hi,

So the S80 has the same 0-60 as the 2002 bmw 320 ci coupe however although it's not good in a straight line can anyone tell me will it handle well around corners?? Thanks in advance.

Its all relative.

It won't be as good as an Elise or as bad as a fully laden Transit Luton but howw good also depends on your experiences. You may think it's good or not. End of the day it's nigh on 2 tons of diesel barge however they're also not the worst chassis, but equally... nor the best. Also it'll vary depending on how tired it is, alignment, tyres, road types etc.

Find some corners, draw your on conclusions.

it's a 1600-1700kg Volvo.
It'll be soft and comfortable.... there isn't really much more to add to that.

I fitted Eibach springs and Bilstein B4 dampers to my 2006 V70 and found that it cornered a lot better than on the standard set up, and still retained an acceptable level of comfort.

I was after something far more sportier but owing a variety of circumstances I found it impossible to get one. After looking for 3 months and my close relative whose car I borrow heavily told me to get another because they wanted theirs back lol I ended up buying this as a snap purchase, after all, its mot history was superb and I was in the depths of winter...

Mainly stupid salesmen who have their cars up for sale 3 months now priced at £5,500 for a lexus that is only worth £3000 but despite pointing out links to sites proving this they did not want to come down and their car is still listed on their site at a stupid price...

They sent me BS email the day I bought the Volvo saying their email I sent the week earlier pointing out I had no more time to look for a car and had to buy one of three I was looking at the next day, that their circumstances had changed and would lower the price, but not nearly enough, I was pleased to tell the knob end that I was now with a new car and reiterated he was over pricing it by £2000
