The tires on the XC90 are terrible

I bought a 2019 xc90 T5. The tires are worn down after 14,000 miles. All four tires need to be replaced. The cost for four new tires from the local Volvo dealer is $1,400. I would have never bought this car, if I knew that the tires wear out this quickly.

Bought new around Thanksgiving 2017. The seats are incredibly adjustable and comfortable, which was very important to my wife and I since we are both quite tall. The vehicle reliability has been perfect, zero problems. Impressive for so much technology over 4-year span. Only negatives are the ride can be too stiff for very rough roads and the base stereo sound is honestly disappointing. It has been a great vehicle! I would give 4.5 stars if possible, with only mark downs being stiff ride (which is only negative in very rough roads). Update August 2023 - Still zero problems with our XC90, new tires to be installed soon. The OEM tires have become very noisy with age and wear.

Poor reliability, have had some issue or the other with my xc90 and dealership experience is absolutely horrendous. Almost every time there is no loaner vehicle, probably explained if so many volvos are having issues that they are out of loaners all the time. Every year the car has been in the shop for some reason or the other. I will never ever buy a volvo again. Would stick to other luxury brands that are either reliable or have a great customer service. Both of these are missing from volvo.
Decent handling, but wish I bought a cheaperhybrid

I bought the 2018 xc90 T5 AWD with comfort and convenience packages. I previously owned an Infiniti Qx80. Comparatively, I miss the luxury, space and comfort of the Qx80 and traded in for this car because my Infiniti was coming out of warranty and I wanted something with tighter handling, smaller and much better mpg. Well, I'm very surprised that my xc90 T5 is averaging only 17 mpg. My enormous Infiniti got a dismal 14mpg, but for 3 mpg's I'd take the Infiniti back. Not sure why the mileage is so bad- I even drive in economy mode often, and the car's motor shuts off every time I come to a stop light. Regarding the handling, it's definitely tighter and 'zippier' so at least I achieved that. But I could've achieved that with any number of less expensive vehicles. The cabin feels tight, espeicially the front seats and I can't seem to find a seat position that is comfortable. Maybe I'm too tall? I'm 5'10". Idk, but definitely having a bit of buyers remorse...

I put a standard Saris trunk mount bike rack on the car that I have used on 4 other vehicles to take the kids's bikes down to the beach. On the way, the bike rack fell and I pulled over to find that the body panel had RIPPED! (Yes, ripped). Turns out it is plastic - not metal. I looked at the manual to see if it tells you that you cannot use a trunk mount bike rack. Not only does it not say that you can't use a bike rack, it actually warns you that a trunk mount bike rack may interfere with the rear view back-up camera. Volvo has flatly refused to do anything about the damage and the dealer has given me the name of a bodyshop who apparently does a lot of work on Volvos. I have also noticed that the quality of the paint or gelcoat is very poor. The electronics are constantly malfunctioning. They replaced my entire "module" (electronic dash panel?) within 5000 miles. I had to take it back again for more malfunctioning electronics. My friend has the same car and the same electronics problems. The rear seats stick and sometimes the kids cant move it to access the third row.
