Used 2010 Volvo XC90 Consumer Reviews
Fantastic SUV
I looked at countless models of SUVs from 2008-2010. I knew from the beginning I wanted a Volvo, but I had to make sure it was the best fit. It definitely was and I love everything about it. The gas mileage is great for an SUV. The interior is awesome with no major blind spots like other SUVs in its class. Plus the price is much better than other luxury SUVs. I purchased a true base model, since the base has leather and sunroof. Those are the two huge features I wanted on my SUV. Even thought it is a V6 it has a lot of power. It gets up and goes. The brakes are also fantastic. Great SUV would purchase again and recommend to a friend.
Nice Car - Couple concerns
I've had the car about 8 months. I replaced a minivan w/very squeaky brakes. I was disappointed that within a couple months the brakes were already squeaking in this car. I've had it in the shop a couple of times but they have not been able to fix it. The ride is a little stiff as has been mentioned. The V8 is great with a lot of power. I got the nav package and this system is pretty poor. The rt traf is helpful but this system can't find big time retail stores without typing in an exact address. I wouldn't rec buying this nav system. I too have experienced the buzzzz in the speakers which hasn't been fixed. Does anyone know what this is? Overall a good/fun/safe car to drive around

9 years with Volvo
Overall this was great car. I bought this car a smart single mom/soccer mom car. We traveled and lived in this car everyday. We have rear entertainment, third row seating, heated front row seats and a bench middle seat that all folded flat for carrying snowboards, bikes, camping gear. My least favorite was the middle and third row seats. The middle seats sat STRAIGHT up which is not a normal position and there was no back reclining. Lots of compartments for storage of everything you could think. Now resale, parts and value are very poor. This gentlemen was texting and driving and ran into the Volvo while I was at a complete stop. Insurance is already saying the vehicle will probably be a total loss due to age of vehicle and all of our son and I's Volvo Road living miliage. I do not look forward to the worst case scenario of this vehicle accident. Black Book value for the volvo is around $3-$5 thousand. We all know I will be loosing, becuase find a used car with all that I had within the Volvo for $3-$5 thousand.

just purchased
After an exhaustive look at a range of cars from the 4 Runner to the Range Rover Sport we settled on the XC90 and I think we got what we expected. An ok vehicle that has an appealing look but it's not flashy, and the interior is nice but creature comfort is lacking. What sold us was the relatively decent price for the number of features and the 5 yrs of free maintenance. We also like the spacious interior and the 3rd row seats are nice to have if needed and space is not compromised, although the 2nd row is a little tighter than some competitors. I'm 6' but could still sit there comfortably. This SUV will be a fill in for a few yrs until something in this $ range gets us excited.
Take it or leave it
Nice vehicle- not great- 3rd row not really meant for adults- not a ton of luggage space either. A bit sluggish when accelerating. It has a heavy feel to it when you drive it. Could also use some more power steering help. Difficult to turn the wheel at times. My wife loves the fact that it drives like a tank. She feels very safe in it.
