My XC90

I saw this car at a dealership and bought it as a birthday gift for myself. First Volvo and I love to drive it. The V-6 has plenty giddyup on the interstate. The third row seats give you flexibility and stows away nicely with a cargo mat when not in use. The XC is large enought to get the job done and stylish enough to look good doing it.

Inexplicably noisy and unrefined "luxury" SUV. We have had a 2005 2.5T and currently own a 2007 3.2. The 2005 seemed to have been assembled better and the 2.5T produced the low-end torque this very heavy SUV needs. The 2007's Ford designed 3.2 inline 6 is unrefined, harsh and gutless as we discovered in an emergency. The AW 6 speed transmission seems to be shifting continuosly, the older AW 5 speed was better. The interior is a marvel of impracticality with virtually no useful place for items commonly used to be placed. The hard, thin plastic pieces used everywhere in the interior rattle and creak incessantly, the door panels rattling in synch with your favorite tunes. The center armrest frequently shatters at the hinge. The ride quality is very good and handling is great for a heavy vehicle. Accommodations are decent for 2 adults & 2 little kids, dad being 6'2". As a longtime Volvo enthusiast it breaks my heart to find myself so disappointed with this vehicle. We hated our cheesy 07 Saturn Vue 3.5 v6 but I find myself nostalgic for the smooth, powerful Honda v6 and smooth 5 speed automatic. After a few years of ownership our xc90 is falling apart at the seems, the headliner is history, car locks itself at random, blower motor control is finicky, scroll valve perished and replaced. Rear seats are reluctant to fold etc. Pretty thirsty considering abysmal performance.

Good so far

Just new to Volvo after driving Japanese for all my life (except Audi for a wonderful 3 years). Compared to previous MDX and 4-Runner, the XC90 has all the luxe one would expect at this price. Great seats, simple control-layout, great ride, decent power and capabilities. Low road noise and nice, high perch. Great grocery bag feature at back that beats a cargo net hands down. Handsome exterior design.

All wheel Drive

One of the worst performing all wheel drive vehicles ever owned. Tires wore out within 18,000 miles, traction is terrible in snow and even on wet roads. Tire dealers comment on how poor the all wheel drive systems are and suggest changing to snow tires for the winter months.
