Very happy picking up a 2018 S90. Great ride, superior sound system, nice handling, awesome features more than expected for the price. Surprising good mileage for a larger sedan. Voice activation of controls very simple and keeps my hands on the wheel. Great rear seat room for the family. 360 degree view makes parking a snap.

Annoying auto/stop

I traded my 2018 Audi A5 for this Volvo and 2 years later my Volvo has depreciated about twice as much as the Audi. I asked the dealer several times to find a way to disengage the auto stop/start, but they are of no help. I have to push a button every time I drive the car, otherwise there is an annoying shaking every time I stop and go. Not subtle at all. The Pilot Assist is only good for straight highways. Otherwise the car will weave back and forth over lines and turn off the road at exits when lines disappear. Lastly, the GPS is bad, and very difficult to judge distances when to turn. I always have to send the destination from my phone because the voice recognition is horrible. Otherwise, it’s a nice looking and comfortable car to drive.

T6 inscription with all the bells and whistles. Pros. Beautiful car and get lots of compliments. Great on the hiway. Plenty of power and great gas mileage. However.... Cons Car was built in China. Rear rotors have failed at 20,000 miles and Volvo won’t pay for the repair. Cheap Chinese steel. GPS programming was designed by an idiot. Climate control is the worst i’ve ever owned in 50 years of car owning. Too few buttons for direct access leads to too much time looking at center screen interface rather than at the road. Voice commands extremely slow to respond And sketchy at best. Technology was totally unstable for the first 3 months of ownership. I leased this car with the intention of buying at lease end....no longer. Volvo can have it back. I’m heading back to MB or Lexus.

I have owned Mercedes and Audi but was unhappy with the maintenance costs. I found the Volvo S90 and feel in love with the quality, ride, tech, and overall design of the vehicle. I drove it to DC and back, in all types of whether conditions, and it handled everything the road threw at it in comfort and easy. Very pleased with this car.

1st let me say..this is a beautiful looking car. I have the T5 with AWD and every option. I bought it with 10K miles. Many disappointments. One is the brakes, warped rotors front and rear. Harsh ride..Engine is not a refined motor for $50K To me...this is a $30-40K car I am not a fan, owning many high end cars. I should have rented one for a week first...Selling very soon.
