The SUV I Love to Hate

2005 Volvo XC90 T6 AWD 4dr SUV (2.9L 6cyl Turbo 4A)

I've owned my XC90 just over a year. Been in the shop over 6 times for warranty items ranging from the air intake on the engine to the air vents breaking. Most frustrating is that the same parts keep breaking. The air intake has been repaired 3 times and the vents 2. I've also been frustrated with trim parts falling off and the third row seat breaking. I've owned Volvo's for years and have had little to know problems other than routine maintenance. This Volvo is the vehicle I love to hate. Love the ride and creature features, hate the reliability and build quality.

Another Volvo Success Story

I have driven many SUV's including Land Rover, Explorer, Isuzu, and GMC - but for the value - this Volvo is the best. It turns heads and starts conversations, looks aggressive, and yet is super comfortable inside with all the creature features you could want. My only wish - better mileage - but it still beats the LR and Explorer in that department.

This is the best car I've ever driven. Its perfect for my growing family and it's really fun to drive. All the features are so easy to use. I had a Land Rover before this and it's like night and day. The Volvos a much better vehicle, for a lot less.

SUV to Strongly Consider

We've looked at every mid to large sized SUV over the last couple of years, waiting for one to come along that was extraordinarily safe; of high quality design and build; and with three rows of seats. The XC90 fits the bill perfectly. The 3rd row is usable by almost everyone - kid and adults alike, and when stored the cargo area is large. The SUV drives like a car, and you feel completely in control at all times, even during our nasty winter weather. All in all probably my favorite car I've ever owned.
