The article is talking about the Volvo S80. It was written by Bill Thomas. In the beginning the writer mentioned that he noticed that the state of the Volvo before was similar to nowadays. The 1.6-litre diesel engine in the S80 puts out a useful amount of torque. After that he mentioned that the S80 wasn’t quick, but it does the job. That means it is not that fast and not very slow. Cars these days don’t need to be very fast because they would be stopped by the next traffic jam or light. The S80 has a potential range of 800 miles on a single tank. The S80 drive is an attractive proposition: it’s refined and it has solid elegance inside which makes diving it a real pleasure. And it it’s beautifully made and finished. It is not sporty but it’s fine. Finally the writer concluded that the Volvo S80 is efficient, economical, clean car with a tiny engine that does the job.
