Stealth Luxury!
XC 90 Inscription hit all the key features that we were looking for and more without the outward appearance of high end luxury. It is just a Volvo (not a Mercedes or BMW!) Comfort was the first consideration. The driving experience, visibility, heads up display and lane keeping make longer drives a breeze. The seats in the car are amazing. Both the driver and the passenger have the same control features...both rare and a must! The interior quality is first rate, leather and wood. The Harman Kardon stereo is superb! The car is equipped with every safety feature currently available and more. Recently when the car detected a quick stop...the seatbelts retracted with modest force pulling us back into the seats...not a problem but a "safety surprise"! It is a big car that drives effortlessly just like a midsize (gas mileage is not the same however) but it is truly peppy. Given the paucity of cars in the market...we were quite lucky connecting with Valenti Volvo of Watertown, CT...they were the only dealer that only charged $500 dollars over invoice...not over list, but over invoice. All other dealers we visited (Kia, Ford, Subaru, etc. were charging over list(with $5 -10K typical) often with lengthy waits for a car that might be coming in. As promised our car was delivered on Christmas eve 2021...and they even provided a big red bow (like on TV). They were fantastic to work with. Long ago we had a Volvo station wagon...this is not your grand dads Volvo! So far so good we are very happy with our "stealth luxury car"!

Amazing car!
I am very happy with my new Volvo XC90. Even the base model is beautiful and comes with every conceivable safety feature. This model used to have a stiff, jittery ride but they changed the design a couple of years ago and the ride is now as good as Mercedes. Overall comfort is better than Mercedes. Responsiveness is better than I expected. For what you get, this car is a spectacular value.

Love it but….
I have always been a faithful Toyota girl. Loved both my sequoias but hated the gas mileage. This is my first luxury car and I really want to love it, however I’ve had it just under a year as I literally drive to the shop to pick it up for the 4th time. The ride is nice, fuel efficiency is great but my sequoias never went to the shop for anything other than standard maintenance. At less than 1000 miles in reverse I had a shuddering jolt that happened multiple times. First time in shop no one could find anything wrong. Happened again multiple times so I dropped it off, drive an hour home to get a call that I need to come pick it up and Volvo was acknowledging a problem and had tech journal out with no solution yet. Continued driving and happened so finally I called and demanded they keep it until it was fixed. Said they needed an O ring rebuild kit for the rear differential. After a few days in the shop they say it’s done and just needed an update. Worked great for a bit. About 2 months later my airbag light goes off while driving. After a few key cycles it went off and they said everything was fine. Now flash forward 3 more months I put in drive let my foot off the brake and a terrible shutter and lunge, this time forward instead of back. My power steering light comes on and says pull over safely, check engine and park assist all go off. I have towed to Volvo and when it gets there they’re like what’s wrong there’s nothing going on? They call the next day and say it needed a major upgrade. I really want to love this car I mean I spent 70k dollars on it. I bought the extended warranty because I work in the automotive industry and know how expensive it is to work in Volvo’s. I also will keep a car for a while but I’m worried now what happens when this car is out of warranty. I’ve never needed to update my Toyota’s.

Traded Up to XC90
8/24/22 Update: I'm still really impressed. The XC90 is a pleasure to drive and supremely comfortable. We're coming up on the first oil change, and that trip to the dealer will be the first time our Volvo has ever been back since we drove it off the lot. I've never owned a new vehicle that didn't have to go back to the dealer to resolve an issue in the first six months. Great quality, craftsmanship and reliability. My only complaints: the less-than-generous center console storage and the lack of cupholders. We traded an XC60 with 24,000 miles and essentially got what we paid for it new in 2018. Took the money and bought an XC90 because the cabin is more spacious for a family. Having some experience with Volvos, I knew I wanted one thing in our XC90: the T6 engine w/ AWD. The T5 in our XC60 lacked some oomph. In contrast, the T6 is incredibly powerful for a 2.0 four cylinder. I also enjoy the slight supercharger whine. Altogether, we ended up in a Momentum package with T6 AWD, blond interior in Crystal White with 21" wheels. It's beautiful. We've owned it for 3 months now and have only put about 2600 miles on it, but so far no trips back to the dealer for any bugs. Everything works as it should. Not surprising since the XC90 has been around for several years so most issues should be worked out by now. To make things even sweeter, the XC90 seems to be one of the few vehicles in this crazy car market that you can actually buy at or below MSRP.

Animated sculpture
Beautiful inside and out, fast, extremely comfortable and functional. The Swedes don't follow the juvenile play book of the Germans with exhaust that fart & pop under hard acceleration. No glow in the dark logo on a ridiculously over sized grill or with in dash distracting screens everywhere. Yet Volvo has the on board tech the Japanese haven't managed to integrate in their designs. Flawless build quality. If I sound like I'm sold on the brand you're right. My second Volvo in three years after leasing six Audi. Will never go back. Update: new EX90 Twin Performance EV on order. Still #VolvoForLife
