The wagon that thinks it's an SUV
This car has done everything we've asked it to do, and more. We use it as an all-around hauler. From family vacations, to every day use, it's extremely comfortable and roomy. Recently, I was hauling a 14-foot trailer, which was loaded with about a foot of snow. I had to take it down a dirt road, which was covered with about 18" of snow. Despite these obstacles, this car plowed through it like nothing. Any questions I had about this cars' ability to get down and dirty were forever vanquished that day. I would highly recommend this car to anyone considering an SUV, but would really have a wagon.
Great Car!
VERY SAFE - did a 360' in bad weather on the interstate and all was intact... would have flipped in any other vehicle. Issues: lights are a problem... this is the second Volvo I've owned where it seems that all the lights on the vehicle seem to burn out at once. Message system is very handy but it's also very annoying! Not happy with tires - just had to replace at 35k miles. And they are NOT cheap! Other: floor mats; paint job: had small issues like a passing bird... that have left permanent marks in the paint that one would think washing right away would take care of.

Overseas delivery headaches
Took European delivery this past summer. I arranged for the car to be delivered to a dealer other than the one from which it was purchased. Once the car finally arrived (EIGHT weeks later), the dealer (Rickenbaugh, Denver) was very rude and unhelpful. Because the car was not purchased at their dealership, they claimed, taking delivery of my car was more of a headache for them than it was worth. They did not check the car over as promised by Volvo. Additionally, the car sustained significant damage in shipping, and the marine insurance claimed the damage was regular wear and tear. Only after many emails they finally sent me a check.
2002 Volvo XC-AWD
Very comfortable seats. CD/Cassette stero system is excellent, especially the CD. Some small rattles and noises, but the dealer is working to omit. Overall, we are pleased with the car.
Questionable Quality?
After owning a car for almost a year, design, feature and comfort are all great. The quality of my XC is just terrible. 3000 miles oil change, service dept. discovered an oil leak, it took 4 days to fix. Just after 7500 miles check up, ABS system went bad and had to be replaced somewhere. Gas low warning on sometimes, not everytime. Talked to the dealer's service dept. and was told that European cars are temperamental. I owned a Japenese car before, never was surprised, maybe that is too boring. XC never is short of excitement.
