My new/used S90 only has 55,000 miles on it now and has been nothing but flawless. The inline 6 engine is like silk and shifts are smooth and powerful. The intertior is like riding in a private jet with all of the neccessary amenities in top fit and finish. I have made a good purchase and for somebody who keeps their cars for at least six years I feel that this S90 will last. I would expect nothing less from a car company that produces million mile examples of rolling strength (Volvo).
Reliable except for A/C

Best cornering of any car I've ever had; it can turn on a dime. Low maintenance in general except for A/C problems. At 110,000 I had 2 A/C repairs = $1600 total- this is a frequent problem w/ Volvos. Seat style took some getting used to; it may be safe, but is uncomfortable at first. Mine currently has 125k miles.

I've had this car a little over a month now. I've wanted a Volvo for some time. The new ones are nice, but I wanted the "Flagship" design. No, it's not new & needs some minor things done. Even though it needs tires, it really rides great at highway speed! I'm pleased that it was taken really good care of! It really "hugs" the road--even in turns! As stout & tough as any tank on any battlefield! I feel really safe in it! I paid $3638 for it. Quite an accomplishment for me. Bought a Volvo & paid cash for it!

The vehicle has been reliable.It starts up 100% of the time. The heating and air conditioning unit is above average. I live in Massachusetts, it gets cold up here and the heated seats are just great for the weather. The car gets warm faster than most cars. This is my first volvo and i have no noteable complaints. Little things on my volvo have gone, like the horn, sunroof, emergency brake, and the doorhandle. It recently overheated but i fixed it the hose bursted behind the engine. Other then those issues the car has been great, its reliable its kind of speedy, and its very comfortable.
Exceptional ride but expensive to maintain

Pluses - Extremely smooth, quiet and comfortable ride; small turning radius; very strong, quick to accelerate and reliable engine. Negatives - Electronics unreliable on various features (seat, antenna, fuel oxygen, some engine component and sensor wiring; air conditioning develops problems on regular basis and needs frequent expensive repair. brake pads and components wear out frequently. Bad front seat drink console. Car needs very regular TLC/service maintenance to maintain the quality ride experienced. Parts and service can be expensive. Very much liked the car and features just not the expenses required to maintain the frequent services and expensive air conditioner service.
