Average XC90 (V70XC was better!)

The XC90 has been a disappointment with the following: overall build quality, fit and finish (both interior and exterior, noisy electroic climate control, poor audio system (the premium Dolby Pro-logic II surround sound is very disappointing), and, most disappointing, the lack of adequate engine power while accelerating onto highways or while climbing mountains. I also have had major problems with my Volvo retailer on warranty work (they damged the car. This could be my very last Volvo.

We decided our Tahoe was just too large for everyday driving. The XC90 wasn't out when we bought the Tahoe. We looked for a month and decided the XC90 was a perfect candidate...large, but not huge, safe for our kids with great styling and utility. Drove a demo and fell in love. Then the hunt was on. Took us a couple of weeks to get the word out to all dealers in the state. Finally got lucky when an XC90 that was sold fell through. We drove up the next morning (200 miles) and picked it up. My wife calls me during the day just to tell me she loves it!

We bought this car planning to take long road trips. The seat back has real problems. It is very stiff leather, not conforming to the body like leathers we've owned before, Further, it is poorly configured for a shorter person...breaks in the wrong places and is unforgiving. Additionally, the headrest does not adjust. Small foot well(no room for purse and sit straight). Dual air conditioning is usual in many car of this price range. Navigation hard to use and hard to see v. in dash ones we've had before. Clock is unreadable by passenger.
