4. Volvo S80

In 1998, Volvo came out with the S80 model, designed as a more professional-looking and sleeker, gas-saving vehicle that didn’t compromise on safety and reliablity. It soon became as popular as the Volvos that preceded it. Many people, from CEOs to homemakers, claim it’s the best car they have ever had. So what does S80 offer? First, new levels of protection: IntelliSafe is standard and features many new systems. For one, it helps notify the driver of a cyclist approaching the vehicle and even a car that suddenly stops in front of it. It even helps park the car in a tight space and keeps it in lanes while driving. Americans love Volvos and have always appreciated it as a very safe vehicle.
