Best car is Volvo, appeal for German cars gone
My cars have been M.B. up until the quality fell apart in the 80's, 90's, and currently. The BMW is so highly over rated it is a joke, and the electronics in that car with an emphasis to over engineer the car is sad and a finical nightmare. The VOLVO -S-90 has been very well received, great handling, wonderful supercharged to turbo-charged 6 cly engine that loves to driven hard, designed and built by Porsche, many years ago. The same engine won "Wards" best build. Have a total of 110 k on the clock and uses zero oil, never had an Audi that could do that!
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.

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.
Didn’t think I would love it as much as I do!
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.

I will not be buying a VOLVO again!
I have had to take the car repeatedly to attend to various problems. From poor software full of bugs. Now there is heavy vibration at 50 to 75 mph in spite of the wheels being rotated and balanced. The dealership doesn't want to deal with the problems immediately. This is more pronounced post-COVID. I am deeply disappointed with this whole experience.
