Used 2005 Volvo XC90 Consumer Reviews
xc90
Very attractive vehicle. Ergonomics could be better. It's hard to turn a corner without changing the radio station as the secondary controls are on the steering wheel. Right side control stalk handles too many functions making inadvertant switching on and of of, say, the rear wiper a nuisance. Front passanger seat back control a joke.
3000 miles and looking good
Studied, studied, test drove them all MDX, BMW,RX330...this baby is no mistake. Quiet ride, solid build, a little feel of the road, but extrordinarily comfortable. Handles easily and the wife loves it. Great field of vision. Mirrors are wide and effective. Rear and side vision is excellent. Incredible stopping ability. Much more than I expected. Tested both the T6 and T5, trust me, unless you're pulling a planet at 80 mph, stick with the T5. The 5 speed trans makes a huge difference. The "around town" drive is great with the 5, and it's plenty on the road. All based on the 1st 3000 miles, combined MPG 17.9, 60% highway, 40%

Great Volvo SUV-XC 90
Love this car. It's built like a tank but feels more like a sports car. Comfortable and easy to drive.
Worst Car Ever
So far this is the most expensive, and most unreliable car I've ever owned. It has been TOWED 4 times in 18 months because it just shut off. We bought the car for percieved reliability and safety and have gotten none of the above. The car looks great and is fun to drive, but a car that breaks down all the time defeats the purpose.
How Swede it is
In car-crazy Southern California, this stands out from all the rest. Color (a green metallic that I did not think I'd like and actually love) wheels, and overall style all catch the eye of my freeway companions. It's pretty zippy, although for really fast get-up-and-go I wish I'd sprung for the T6, but I don't eat as much gas in the T5 and it's quick enough for most of my driving.
