Purchased the car new in July 2017 and have 38,000 on it now (March 2020). My wife is the primary driver. She said she'd buy another one, if we don't go electric for her next vehicle. The only issue we had was at around 30,000 the check engine light came on and long story short we needed to have the injectors replaced. Fortunately it was all covered under the warranty. We also had an issue with a plastic handle coming apart on two separate occasions on the floor panel covering over the spare tire well. Both times it was taken care of under warranty (the first time it was repaired and the second time it was replaced). The vehicle has been very reliable. We like the Volvo App. The remote start works very well, especially good for the upstate NY snowing winters. HVAC is good. Sound system is good. Leather seating looks brand new. Paint is likewise like-new. The combined MPG has increased slightly from just under 20MPG to 21MPG. On trips it does deliver between 27 and 28MPG. Plenty of flat cargo space - great for our tent camping trips. The 21 inch tires aren't inexpensive to replace, but their price has been coming down since more vehicles now have 21 inch wheels. The ride remains good. We've used it to tow U-Haul trailers and have had no issues with it. Good ground clearance and drives well through snow/ice, with dedicated snow tires. Over-the-air updates to the car have worked properly. No issue with any of the electronics so far. Headlights are very good (active). No issues with the auto-cruise control or the semi-autonomous driving. We really like the driver's seating position.

Full disclosure, I've only owned my 2018 XC90 Denim Blue Momentum for less than a week, so I can not speak to long term durability issues. So far so good, but fingers crossed. My initial reaction as a former diehard Grand Cherokee owner (5 in a row) is that a I am very happy with my purchase. The looks of the XC90 really caught my eye, but the interior quality sealed the deal for me. I had reservations about the 4 cylinder, but a test drive alleviated my concerns that it would b sufficient for th size. While it is by no means going to be mistaken for an 8 cylinder, I am impressed by the 316hp output especially at highway speeds and would describe the output as a solid v6 caliber. My Summer daily driver is a Z06 Corvette so, the road noise, and ride comfort are fine for my tastes. I sincerely wrestled with the idea of owning a Volvo, but the exterior looks and interior quality rival other luxury SUVs going for 10's of thousands more. I wanted a car with better fit and finish, more 2nd row legroom, roof rack and the third row was a bonus. I looked at the Cayenne and Q7. Performance wise, the XC90 is subpar, but for the money I could not beat everything this had to offer. The dash tech is fantastic and I'm just starting to get to know the lane assist, adaptive cruise, and pilot assist features, and they are impressive. While the 316hp output is impressive, the 4 cylinder is a bit "tinny" sounding...with an almost Diesel engine exhaust note. The base suspension is a tad rough, and the cockpit is not what I would call quiet. Road and engine noise does come through. Again, with all that I'm very pleased in large part to the deal I got. I had the benefit of getting $2500 Volvo "conquest" cash and $750 from Costco, on top of an insanely good trade in value on my Jeep (month end, slow night). I parted with a v8, adjustable ride height, quieter cockpit and I'd argue smoother ride, but gained increased driver / passenger space, better interior quality, stunning exterior, smooth tech interface, 4 years of VolvoOncall (Onstar like), increased safety features and amenities. I'm looking forward to a road trip to get to know it a little better. The only complaints I have trouble justifying at this price point is no cooled seats and no where to put your sunglasses...other than in the armrest. But far from deal breakers.

I owned THREE XC90s. Not a typo. THREE! I purchased my 2016 which had 2 sets of brakes and 2 sets of rotors, a leaking sunroof, and multiple fails on electronics before Volvo replaces my car with a 2017 version. The 2017 version was great, except at 37k miles when the engine had multiple failures. One of them occurred downhill on a mountain with my family in the car. Terrifying. After a month of no vehicle and going through a lawyer a second time, Volvo replaced my car with a 2018. At 33k miles my vehicle began having transmission issues. They would temporarily resolve with computer updates and then go back into slipping. After speaking with volvo, they said it was normal wear and tear. I decided I was done. I was paying for a car that spent more time in the shop than when I had it. I couldn’t do it anymore. I’ve driven Volvo’s my whole life, but I believe since being purchased they simply aren’t the cars they have always been known to be. They technology and safety is impressive, but if the car has so many faults daily, can you trust it will be safe when you need it to the most?

Overall I love the 2018 XC 90. The design beautiful and the comfort is excellent. The performance is good our previous SUV's were the BMW X5 and the Explorer Sport. The one frustration for my wife and I is the Volvo Sensus Infotainment System. It's not bad but it's also far from good, as compared to BMW iDrive. The system would be much better if commonly used functions like climate control had their own physical buttons. The temperature and seat/steering wheel heat controls are slow to respond an lack haptic feedback. It's not possible to use these controls without taking your eyes off of the road.

The weakest thing about this car is the lack of power ports and cup holders. Since that is all I can say bad, this must be a 5 star SUV! I have had this car 1 year, put 35,000 miles on it driving in conditions from snow to desert, from sea level to 13,000', and on interstates and back woods roads. I cannot say enough good about the car. I have no idea how many times the safety systems have possibly prevented an accident, but they have sure engaged more than a few times! We will see what I have to say in 2 years when she goes over 100k.
