I recently purchased an S80 29. I have a few questions I'd like to pose to the group: For such a big car, it seems under powered. The car downshifts quite a bit (it's an automatic) when I step on the gas. Is this normal for a normally aspirated volvo?
I thought that cars sold in the USA in 2001 had to have the child seat latches (I think its called Isofix if you buy it from the volvo dealer)? These are the metal "D-ring" type anchors located where the rear seat meets the rear seat back portion that you fasten the child car seat to. This car doesn't have them. Is this correct? Did this happen sometime during the 2001 model year?
AM Radio reception is horrible. The radio stops on just about every frequency when using the "scan" capability and the stations (even close ones) are filled with static. Does anyone know how I can diagnosis this? On my wife's 850 wagon, the radio was very easy to remove. It doesn't look that way on a 2001 S80.
Thanks for all of the help in advance.
V/R, charlie
