The 9-5 wins awards, the S80 is a nightmare. My sister is a Volvo loyalist and went through 2 (yes 2) S80s with major problems. The first was a 99 S80 (their worst year) and a 2001 (almost as bad). She finally got a XC wagon at the end of 02 and seems to be much happier. I think the V6 is cursed. Overall though the interior and comfort of the car was very nice when it was running. Seem a little bigger than the aero. Having driven her S80 there is no question that if your friend is into pep and handling the aero is the way to go. I will admit that I like the seats better in the Volvo....
