Volvo has a well-earned reputation for building quality cars, and the S80 looks to be no exception. The interior build is excellent; gaps are tight, knobs and controls have a nice heft, stitching is consistent and all around nicely executed. Everything feels nicely tapped down inside, save for too much noise while driving. On the outside, "Volvo" sill plates were nicely constructed and not likely to loosen, while the Adaptive Cruise Control sensor up front was big and garish on the grille. We noticed a few minor flaws and gap variances, notably around the trunk lid. That's a small complaint compared to what it provides in terms of safety, however.
