Used 2018 Volvo S90 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Dear Volvo. Excellent except for Start/Stop
I love this car except the start/stop is absolutely annoying and it cannot be permanently disable by me, the owner. Even my passengers ask why it shakes each time we stop and go. Sure, I can disable by selecting Dynamic, but I do this 2-3 times a day. I’m told Volvo will not disable due to MPG and emission fears. Have your attorneys draft a “I agree” button to whatever makes your legal department happy. It is so much more noticeable then my Lexus Hybrid. I can live with the horrible voice activation and not so good GPS,and the rest of the car is perfect. Read all the comments out there and give your customer base the option. Let us disable start/stop. It’s our car, our right. The only other issue is the blind side warning light is not bright enough to catch your eye. Volvo made it an elongated strip as a design, but functionally it fails to do its job of alerting the drivers peripheral vision.

Terrible GPS
For such a luxury car to have to worst GPS I've ever sat in let's see I used my cellular's Google GPS to get me there the dealership was of no help they said that is what's out there from Volvo.

Servicing Surprise
I brought my 2018 Volvo S90 AWD in for regular servicing on 7/20/20. It has 17K miles on it, and I have had it since 11/'18. I was told it needed a complete brake job costing $665. I never had a car before that needed a brake job done with such low mileage. All of my driving is to local stores, and an adjacent county. My son, who was with Land Rover, called an Insurance Adjuster he knew about it the brake job. The Adjuster said "the brakes on that model do not last long at all" it's a Volvo problem". Also, for a luxury car going over the bumps in the road, you feel them, and due to the 4 wheel drive, some are teeth jarring! The tires should have been one size larger, and the shock absorption better. Also, the car sits much lower than what I was used to of getting in and out of my previous vehicles I'm only 5'9" and "drop in" and hold onto the car rail to get out comfortably. . It has all the latest tech& safety features, beautiful design, plush interior, and performs well on the highway, when passing power is needed. I have been buying Volvos since buying my first: 1985 450GL (brick on wheels), and I'm looking forward to turning this one back to the dealer in 2021 for another.

Excellent ride
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.

Bad gps, tech sketchy, poor climate, good road car
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.
