Looked at ML350, Q5, MDX, RX350 and X5. This vehicle was head and shoulders above the ML350. Each of the others had its strong points; but my wife chose the XC90 because she liked it best (it had the best overall visibility). We've had it for almost 4 months now and have had absolutely no problems. The fuel mileage is lousy; but competitive with most of the others--14 in town and 21 on the road. It does use regular while the others require premium. The fact that the XC-90 is the least expensive of the bunch is real bonus.

The best family vehicle ever owned

We bought this 2010 Volvo XC90 AWD in Nov of 2009. The story started with having two dealerships competing to provide me with the best price. We were not putting much miles on the family vehicle so, we leased it. Very little down, a 5 year lease, 3year maintenance, 5 year bumper to bumper warranty at $495/month. We bought it after the lease was up ~$10K. Over the next 3 years normal maintenance and extremely low loan payments. From year 8-13 front struts and wheel bearings. We finally traded her in at 13years 3 months with 180k miles for $2700 for a new Toyota Tacoma. A/C, sunroof, and rear hatch hydraulic arms needed work/replacement. The best auto I owned in my 30+ years of driving. Curious to see if the latest generation of XC90 will be as worthy as this one.

I got this car for my wife and we did the European delivery program which was amazing, I recommend it dearly, I've owned many volvos and this one is the best so far, the only problem I've had with it is the right middle pillar's plastic molding will rattle over jittery bumps and the materials in the interior are not up to date. but one thing if you get the 3.2 you probably will want AWD because it makes it drive much better and without it it's kinda slow

Beige leatherseats

Reporting XC90 interior leather seats. I am very satisfied with the performance of this vehicle. I am surprised about quality of interior seats. I drive the XC90 every day back/forth to the train station; 10 miles p/day. Leather seats are beige and middle section of leather seats look extremely worn and veined, wearing business attire. Leather in the middle section of the seats looks smoother compared to surrounding areas of seats and scares easily. This flaw will impact resale value. Had to replace the frame of the passenger seat once because it cracked with my weight of 145 pounds. Used to own a XC70 for five years and its beige leather seats looked like new.
