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.

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.
