I just bought a pre-owned 2006 S80. It's spotless and seems to be well taken care of, but I noticed that it is very quiet when starting. I don't know if that's normal, or a struggling starter. It cranks right up, but just doesn't sound right (could just be I'm used to American cars).

If this sounds like a problem, could someone let me know. Also, if everyone with an S80 has the same experience, let me know that too.

Thanks,
David

European cars start up much nicer than american cars. I think you're just looking for the roar lol. Its pretty quiet, and if it starts right away im sure you have no problems.
