If you can afford to maintain they are great.

I've owned from 20K miles to 208K miles as a daily driver. Find a specialist shop to work on it, I have done many simple things myself - you can buy parts directly from the wholesale vendor. If you want an older euro car don't expect to have nothing go wrong and never fix anything. Example... the alternator is $500 wholesale, $725 at a dealer plus $400 to install. Yes you can get a Duralast at AutoZone for $350 and install yourself. So make sure to buy at a fair price and that that car has been maintained.

Volvo shouldn't even classify the 2013 XC90 in the midsize luxury SUV category, because it is a poorly designed and unreliable vehicle that is poorly manufactured. Issues I have had with my XC90: * Brakes- Squeal, rub, vibrate...dealer would not fix. * Starter went out...leaving me stranded in the middle of the highway * AC compressor went out * Loud rattles and clicking noises while driving * Leather seats get scratches on them easily from clothing rubbing against them * Back up warning alarm did not alarm at times * Blind spot indicator sensors would not work properly at times. * Third row seat is a waste, no adult will fit in it.

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.

Best car I’ve ever owned

I see others complain about maintenance costs but if you take it to a very experienced local Volvo tech maintenance is not a extreme problem. the ride quality is phenomenal it’s not fast but keeps up with traffic, great the use of space in the interior it is unmatched by other brands Luxury SUVs not to mention it’s one of the safest cars ever made basically unflippable. Extremely reliable if you listen to your mechanic and do preventive maintenance before it causes severe issues. I’ve had many Volvos and what I know is they can be finicky but if you have an experienced Volvo mechanic who knows the problems these cars have and can prevent them before they happen a Volvo will be the best car you’ve ever owned. Volvo for life!
