Hit or miss with Volvo

For a $40,000 plus vehicle, I'm really looking at getting a Lexus next go around. I can't believe all the bells and whistles that don't come with this car at this price. Sure it's safe. I get about 17.5 mpg, but already the seat adjustment on the driver's side has become unattached, the power windows are whacky sometimes by going down when I want them to go up and frankly I'm just disappointed in the service department here in Charleston, S.C. When I took a look at the Lexus RX330, I couldn't believe all the ammenities you can get with the same emphasis on safety for a lot less money. I'm now looking at trading in the XC90 for a Lexus either GX or RX model. I think Volvo should do better.

I've had this car for almost a year and in my short experience I feel it's a perfect combination of luxury and performance. Acceleration power is exceptional, dashboard controls are within easy reach, it's roomy, except for possibly the third seat which can handle adult passengers for short trips only. Third seat is meant for small children. And, except for a hummer, it feels safer than anything I've ever driven.

The SUV I Love to Hate

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.

My XC90 T-6 AWD --The First Year

The XC90 T6 is my first new Volvo after driving a 740 wagon for 17 yrs. My daughter now drives it. I am totally blown away by the technology and saftey features and awards of this vehicle, as well as totally in love and in awe of this car. It is so much fun to drive and such a pleasure to drive that I actually think up more places to drive to! It certainly saved our lives driving thru a blinding snowstorm last January without chains (not needed). It handles well, its cabin is luxurious, and it has tons of room. Got the 5 seater. Things I dont like about it include its poor gas mileage, I get 14 city, 18 hwy, and the clam or 2 part hatch opening. It is too high for my dogs. Otherwise, this truck is the best.

I bought the first XC90 in Wisconsin in July of 2003...after several problems, Volvo proposed a trade out and I bought a new 2004 XC90...The difference is remarkable! The Volvo XC90 I have now is tremendous. Volvo identified there reliablity/quality issues with the early models and did the right things for me...I am very satified!!
