So just a quick ownership update for anyone who's interested in this model. I've had my 2009 S80 D5 lux auto for 9 months now. I absolutely love it especially how infrequent visits to the petrol station are with this car. Previously I had a 2001 T5 s60 geartronic. The S80 is my first diesel. I find myself using the cruise control in this car more than ever before.. I've had absolutely no problems with the car.. It drives like new. Gears change smoothly pulls like a train.. (it's done 106k) I've noticed The car is so so quiet.. Like not a single rattle or bump can be heard from the interior or wheels even over rough roads. Quite impressive actually.. 4 years from now I reckon I'll be looking to pick up a used s90 T8 plug in hybrid which come out this year.

Which engine is that? Is it the 2.4 5cyl diesel?

[QUOTE=Blackdog;814458]Should be on that year.[/QUOTE] Yeah that is what I thought :) I'm quite curious how well it holds up longer term as both ours have it. One on 35k and one on 75k
