The good: Car has great material, great feel, and great acceleration/braking. A ton of space and smooth ride. If the software was so terrible the car would be perfect. The bad/worst: Car has so many software bugs and issues, it's just terrible. Voice command will sometimes disable the radio buttons, the system crashes, auto stop/start works whenever it feels like it, and worst of all, the accident prevention braking goes off randomly. Car decided to randomly apply brakes and almost caused our car to get rear-ended.

I'll put it this way, the wife loved this car. we currently have a GL450 and it's aging and getting to be time to change. Our dealer was nice enough to give us a Inscription for an over night test drive. We found the performance better then what I have read in many reviews, though the comfort in the seats was ok. I'm sure there are plenty of settings that we could play with to adjust the seats. While driving, the wife found operating the radio and climate was a little cumbersome due to the ipad like technology. Again, something to get used to and we were new to the car. Ride quality and steering was very nice, but the funny thing is my wife picked up on the tiny steering wheel as compared to her GL. Over all though, the car seemed fantastic and it's still in consideration. Our only, and it's probably minor to so many out there, is the climate package on the Inscription. This gives you the heated windshield which would take some getting used to. For me it was like looking out a screen door with all the vertical wires running through the glass. Again, not a deal breaker, just something to get used to.

Never again would I buy a Volvo. In 36 months and 40,072 miles, it has been in the shop 13 times and left my wife stranded on the interstate once. In my 40 years of driving, I don’t think all of the vehicles I’ve driven combined have been in the shop for that many repairs. Everything from numerous software updates, changing the spark plugs, replacing both batteries, recalls to the instrument panel blacking out. The 3g WiFi is useless. Now the dashboard is cracking and needs to be replaced. $60,000+ plus tax. Totally overpriced.

Great SUV (When It WORKS)

When my wife and I leased this SUV, we fell in LOVE with it. The screen, controls, the safety features and even the gas mileage was great. We had it for 5 months and then the entire computer system went NUTS. Left me stranded in a parking lot without being able to start the car because the computer applied the parking brake and would not let go. Then the car only started the first try 70% of the time. It took some button pushing and resetting with the door locks the other 30% (NO IDEA WHY) Then the noises started. The dealer ended up replacing the entire front end and still noises persisted. It ended up being faulty transmission and engine mounts. To reiterate what another reviewer said, the dealer had to learn from Volvo Cars of America technicians how to work on the car. Our XC90 was in the shop for more than 2 months that we had it. We are now giving the car back to Volvo but if we were to keep it, it needs a software upgrade and the windows screech all the way down and up. I love the styling and honestly love the SUV, but it seems they need to work through many items to make this Car of the Year worthy.

Edmund's needs to get off their "high horse" and rate this vehicle properly. I've drove many luxury vehicles and I must say this is the best one. BMW,Audi, Land Rover etc etc doesn't compare to the quality of the materials... And hey don't be bashing the vehicles features just because your tiny mind cant handle the XC90 capability. It has easy to use features, if you know how to simply use an Ipad or Iphone, this touch screen is the same thing. I love how the vehicle "grips " the road! It has the feel of a car, the simplicity of an Ipad for features, amazing quality of materials from the leather seats to the wood grain on the dashboard. Please see this vehicle!
