10 year old report
I bought an 2010 XC90 used, had 100k miles on it. Only defect was the wear and tear on the front leather seats, they are completely worn out with cracking and fading, but still in one piece. Some observations of the car at this age: 1. Gas mileage is actually decent for an old, heavy SUV. I am getting 19/20 with the standard V6. 2. Oil Level Sensor is very sensitive. 7.8 quarts is recommended, I usually put a full 8 quarts in. It burns oil very slowly, so the light will come on mid-oil change, even though it's still in the dipstick range. I usually go ahead and top it off with another half a quart. 3. There's a weird auto fan feature with the AC, previous owner warned me of it. If you leave the AC on when you shut off the car, it tries to circulate air while you're away. The problem is if the car sits for a several days this way, you'll kill the battery. You have to remember to shut off the AC when the car is parked for awhile. And, since the battery is in the back of the car, you'll have to crawl in from the front to change it if there's not enough power to unlock the tailgate. 5. A few items like seatbelt latches and keyless entry have not stood well with the test of time. Best to double check those locks before you walk off trusting that all 4 doors are actually locked. 6. Mechanically, the car is great for 10 years old. No leaks anywhere, clean engine, runs well. I would recommend buying one used if you find one with low miles.

XC90 THE BEST OF THE REST
I have owned a 2004, 2007, and now own a 2010 Volvo XC90. My 2010 is an Executive Model. I did not think that the model could get any better but my latest VOLVO XC90 is spectacular!. The Executive Model's interior is outstanding. I feel like I am sitting in my family room. The handling is "tight" and feels like a sport car within a SUV. The safety features are a plus when insurance premiums are due. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who appreciates quality within a sporty, pleasure to drive, as well as styling that commands head turning! This is a perfect vehicle in my book.

New Buyer
We just bought our AWD XC90 and are very happy so far. Reviews of the add ons (like NAV and entertainment packages) helped us decide not to purchase these features. The safety features are unparalleled, especially at this price. If feels like you are driving a real vehicle instead of a plastic toy. Ride is smooth and much quieter than the Durango SLT Plus we traded in. 5 yr wear and tear, 5 yr maintenance, and 5 yr warranty were great bonuses. Costco buyer's program, and the 2009 tax incentives sealed the deal for us.
Van to XC90
Owned for a few months now and no problems. As noted I would like to see better technology in this car like a modern nav and stereo. The safe and sound warranty is great. All service including oil,brakes rotors, wear and tear etc (except tires) are covered for 5yr/60k 91 octane is recommended but hard to find so I use 93. You can use 87 but I notice a lack of power with the 3.2 engine. Overall, I love this SUV. It is sharp looking and safe. No new design appears in the works until 2012.
Worth every penny
After MANY years of wanting this car, we finally took the plunge and I LOVE IT!! I feel so safe in it. I traded in a Yukon and feel that I have gained more storage space since the third row folds flat. LOVE the body style, DON"T EVER CHANGE IT. That was the first thing that made me fall in love with it. LOve the 5 year free maintenance!! Do wish though that for the money, navigation or even blue tooth were standard.
