Hi,
Good morning.
Which Volvo model would you recommend I go for...it would be the first time I'm going for a Volvo.
I'm looking for one with good fuel consumption, balance, speed, automatic, and cheap to maintain. I'm looking at the S80 or S60 (I hope I have not confused these models sha).
Do they meet these expectations?
Thanks in advance.

S60 all the way

InvertedHammer:
Do you agree that Volvo is not a popular brand like BMW, Mercedes, Toyota and Honda?

Oga, from all you've been posting it's very obvious you understand the English language properly, so why pretend as if you didn't understand what I posted just cos to argue dey hungry you

The line from your comment which I bolded is what I said I disagree with, or do you want to dispute that peeps open similar threads to this on NL when they want to buy other car brands too?

Toyota is popular, yet people open threads to ask for opinions before buying Toyota cars. Word!!!

InvertedHammer:
The Swedish company calls it a luxury brand but consumers beg to differ which is why it is not very popular. Even in brand vs brand competitions (racing or offroad) the name never gets mentioned.
If it is very popular with consumers this thread would not have been created.
/

I beg to differ on the bolded line, there are countless threads here on nairaland about peeps asking same questions about buying other car brands, Toyota, Benz, BMW, Peugeot, name it

Thanks Guys
I'm currently doing a research on the difference between the S60 and S80 models.
They look almost the same but the S60 has a spottier look and smaller in size than the S80.
Being a Bachelor, I have started considering the S60 because the S80 seems it's meant for folks in their forties. ( My friend whose S80 I drove is in his 40s though)
The thing is I don't know if it will be as powerful as the S80 since it comes with just a 5cyl straight and 5cyl turbo (T5)engines.

Anyone with the S60 experience? share please.

Team S60, anytime, anyday

On

Ermacc:
High fuel consumption.

Wrong!! Beer parlour hearsay

sod09:
they are mostly manual

Wrong again!! Another beer parlour hearsay

KingsleyCEO:
Hope you still remember what they say about first impression and how it matters most...

Their first cars were not in anyway close to being cool or sweet.

I agree with this, most people still think about the 70's models when Volvo is mentioned

jashar:
the noise....

You, my dear are one example of those

Ajadiboye:
but it's manual from what I'm seeing. Manual Ke

Perhaps, this is why some Nigga up there claims its mostly manual, forget that cloth you see around the gear stick, it's automatic transmission. BMW and Volvo do use that cloth mostly

Bye

barrydee:
@valarinz why don't you like S80 please state your reasons. How about comparing the parts of S80 with the parts of 2001ml320, 2001 C class kompressor or 2001 BMW coja?

Compared to the cars you listed above, the S80 parts is way cheaper, no doubt

Reasons I don't like S80? The shape. Looks like a coffin or square carton to me, and besides its not fashionable and on-demand like the S60. That's assuming we're even talking about the 5cyl version, those T6 twin turbo get wahala wella so it's not even an option to me

Note that they all have the same body and interior oo, just when you open the hood you'll start seeing different engine types

barrydee:
Good day guys,
I need your honest answers. I drove a friend's car (2001 Volvo s80 2.8 T6 twin turbo charged Engine) over the weekend from Port Harcourt to Calabar and I was wowed. The handling was great especially the torque & power. No car saw my behind all through the journey and I felt totally safe even at speed up to 150kph. The gas mileage was better compared to a 3.0 Camry v6 not to talk of the stylish interior and club banging factory stereo.
My questions are :
-why do people avoid Volvo Cars?
-why do Volvo cars have poor 2nd hand value?
-Being a Swedish car, are the parts cheaper when compared to German cars(Benz, BMW etc)?
-The s80 has straight 5cylinder, 5cyl Turbo, straight 6cyl and 6cyl twin-turbo engines. Which of these engines is less problematic?

I currently own a 2001 Honda crv but Im considering the volvo s80 and i don't know if it's a good upgrade.
My Volvo enthusiasts in the house, over to you guys.....

If you ask me sha, just leave that T6 twin turbo engine matter for one corner, sweet as toks but when the wahala start, you'll begin to wonder if it's the handiwork of your village people. If you must do an S80 then I'll recommend the 5cyl turbo engine cos it's not problematic and it's also pocket friendly

Now, 2001 Volvo S80 vs 2001 Honda CRV, I'm not sure they're in the same class as one is a sedan and the other a mini SUV. I don't need to preach to you about how both cars perform cos you've tasted both but I have a feeling the crv should be cheaper to maintain compared to that T6 you drove(more reason why I still suggest the 5cyl if it must be S80)

Thx

Valarinz talk nau, why u just dey look?

Lol, bros you be monitoring spirit abi,

oluwaseunla:
Hehe!!! Valarinz is coming for you

Personally, I love the car though.

Wrong!! I don't even like that S80 of a car sef

Besides, the statement he made is not even clear, "parts are expensive" is a relative statement. He didn't compare it to any other car, so assuming he currently owns a golf 3, then his comment is very much on point. But to someone who owns a g-wagon the parts is not expensive, so let's wait until he compares it with a certain car model

Ma oga, anything for the boys??

remolacha:
Good topic! You can start your business with such little things, but achieve a lot in the future. BTW I can advise a good agent for customs clearance https://clearit.ca/

For someone who lives in Canada, your English is piss poor, care to explain why that is the case?

hentech911:
It's 1.8 ordinary engine

Current market price is in the range of 60-65k for the complete engine, 45-50k for skeleton engine

jaxxy:
Naa dear I wasn't.

Oga, just gather liver and ask for her number, worst case scenario she'll refuse, life goes on, nothing lost.

Good luck

hentech911:

Manual or automatic??

Depends on what u want, of you want it to be auto, it will be, and if you also want It to be manual it will be, just some recitations and incantations will do the job. You'll be given a manual on the incantations and I'll also give you the required items for the procedure , no need to panic

Also note that u can do this at any time and reverse it when needed, tnx
