Yeah I'm not a fan of domain cloaking.

But I am a huge fan of what you're trying to do. Sounds like a great service.

Thanks for being a fan. On the domain cloaking, as noted earlier I did it because GoDaddy was pushing it and it was free.

We've updated results for the S80 to include owner experiences through March 31, 2010. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2009: 171, small sample size and probably not accurate

2008: 43, about average

2000: 152, about average, very small sample size

Everyone who has been helping, thanks, I certainly appreciate it. We'll have further updates in August and November. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

Cool stuff!

Glad my car could help. I'll definitely remember to check this site whenever I do repairs.

Thanks. Please also to remember following the end of each quarter even if you have no repairs to report. In this case, the response is little more than an approximate odometer reading, and takes less than a minute. (Much less for some people.)

Updated stats within two weeks. More participants remain needed to fully cover all model years.

We've updated results for the S80 to include owner experiences through June 30, 2010. Other sources of car reliability information won't cover the more recent months until the summer or even fall of next year.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2009: 169, small sample size and probably not accurate

2008: 47, about average

2000: 221, worse than average, very small sample size

1999: 211, worse than average, very small sample size

Thank you, again, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in November and February. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

Thanks, your participation is certainly helpful.

Updated reliability stats next month.

As always, the more owners participate, the better the information we can provide to everyone.

We have some new pages that display all reported repairs by problem area:

2007 Volvo S80 problem reports

From this page it's possible to select a different model year or specify a problem area.

We've updated our reliability stats for the S80 (on our redesigned site) to include owner experiences through September 30, 2011.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2010: 52, about average

2009: 38, better than average

2008: 57, about average

2007: 70, about average

2001: 209, worse than average - possibly inaccurate due to very small sample size

2000: 86, better than average

1999: 94, better than average

Small and even very small sample sizes for all but the 2008, so most of these our reliability stats are imprecise.

Thank you, once again, everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in February and May. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

We've updated our reliability stats for the S80 to include owner experiences through June 30, 2012.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2010: 39, about average

2009: 29, better than average

2008: 69, about average

2007: 39, better than average

2001: 126, worse than average

2000: 73, better than average

Small and even very small sample sizes for all but the 2008, which could explain much of the variation from year to year.

We'll have further updates in November and February. We'd love to provide more precise stats and cover more model years--just a matter of getting more owners involved.

I'm afraid it's the usual reason: not enough owners signed up yet. This is especially common with the final model year of a design. We have almost three times as many owners signed up for the 2007.

Yours does put us closer to the minimum.
