"I get this Volvo CX90 2006 and after previous cars I had, like Mazda 6, Saab 9-3, volvo S40, Lexus RX300, BMW I320,..... This CX90 is the best, in every way. Also the man who sold to me this Volvo is real GENTLEMEN. My credit is horrible, and some how he get me loan.!!! Also they deliver to me Volvo CX90 free of charge!!! Two great guys follow me to my address. I am really so pleas with their cour'tesy. I can't find the best word to express my experience I had with great people in Star Auto Mall at Nazareth Pike The best place to buy used and beautiful cars. And you will not be choked with hipper, depress sellers from most dealers. And the most important you will not deal with liars"

"I have the XC90, it has 112 k... runs great, have a had a few issues with the third row seat getting stuck. Other than that, it is a great car and serves its purpose for a family of 5. It is not great on gas mileage. If you have alot of city (errand running) miles, then it is not the best value. Although, does decent on highway miles. I currently use about a quarter tank a day, although I do alot of errand running... baseball practice, dance practice, work, etc...."

"I was looking for a car for the wife that was safe and this was the car and it was her dream car. It had 108,000 when purchased and needed the timing belt changed as it is supposed to be changed at 105,000. I upgraded the brakes to crossed drill and slotted with ceramic pads frt and rear and it looks as if they will last approx 90 to 80,000 miles.the car came with new tires and will get approx 60,000 miles on them the car has 144,000 on it now and there have been no problems small or large. I purchased the 5 cly because the six transmission is supposed to have problems. The wife using the car in her charity work and puts on over 20,000 miles a year and she loves the car. This is the fourth volvo we have owned,a 940,850 and my v70. all have been excellent. the xc90 gets 18 to 20 mpg which is not great but this is a heavy car.yes we would buy another and we do tell others about volvos"

"by far the best suv I have ever owned--best gas mileage for a family of 6 with lots of "stuff"--especially if you like cruising the beach with 4WD roomy, feels great to drive--handles like a car and super comfy!"

"We bought our Volvo XC90 2 years ago as a preowned vehicle. We were looking for a fimily car with enough space for 2 kids including strollers and baggage. For us the Volvo XC90 was the best choice as it offered just what we wanted. You can easily fit our family of 4 including 2 child seats, 3 suitcases and 2 strollers. The ride comfort is great, the car has all the bells and whistles you may ask for. Reliabilty was very good, we never had any technical problem, we only had to replace one smal light bulb in 2 years."

"I purchased a 2004 as a certified used vehicle with about 10,000 miles. I paid an additional $1000 to purchase it from the dealership where I had been servicing my 2001 S80, a commuter car I purchased used and certified while waiting for an XC90 to become available. The S80 became our third car, for the new drivers in our family -- safe, not too powoerful, and seats four comfortably. I love my Volvos, but, yes, I recommend a service warranty. Volvo has been extraordinarily responsive in replacing items under warranty, although not all items are under warranty and there is a deductible. My DC dealership and VOLVO is now on the third corporate ownership since I purchased my car, but the personnel have stayed. I judge a company on how well they treat their employees as well as their customers. Yes, my transmission was replaced not once but twice, under warranty -- there is another related part that also needed to be replaced, and the second time they realized it was this much less expensive part that caused the transmission to fail. I am currently looking for another used, certified VOLVO. Safety, safety, safety is my priority. l also like service contracts generally, and I dislike financial surprises when it comes to major purchases while raising a family and paying college tuition. Houses are enough of a gamble for me, and cars are not far behind. Buy the service contract, and know that you will save money on your health insurance, and may also save the life of a loved one. What price safety? Priceless. Our 100 lb. females drive this car easily. Super responsive and easy to park. Carries furniture, sod, whatever!"

Just What I Was Looking For!

"I'd been looking to downsize for a while and this is just what I needed. As a 20-something I was buying a different car each of the last 3 years. First, I had to have a Lincoln MKZ, then a Hummer H3 and with each trade-in I'd lose my shirt on the deal. It was immature and impulsive. This time I decided to evaluate my "needs" instead of my "wants" and came up with the XC90. 1) I needed something that would last a long time and from many of the sites I saw Volvo's being sold with 150-200k miles on them! (I needed to stop throwing my money away and purchase a reliable, long-lasting car). 2) I needed something with a lot of room in it (for trips and our dogs), yet comfortable and safe. As a newly wed, I had to start thinking about the other's in my life...my wife and future children. It is very important to me to meet this need. I reviewed the saftey features of the XC90 and felt that they were world-class. Volvo does safety - period! 3) Ok, so I "wanted" a luxury vehicle with all the trimmings, but didn't want to pay the BMW/Lexus price. I enjoy having the leather interior with heated seats and power everything. I also like driving a unique vehicle and appreciate the quality product of higher-end cars. The XC90 meets all of these, without carrying the stigma of being a "showoff". I come from a very small community in western NY, so this is an important aspect...as only doctors and lawyers are seen driving Mercedes or BMW's. I test drove the XC90 T6 AWD and loved the power and pick-up (especially when compared to the H3)! It's run great so far as I've driven it accross the country now to TX. Will point out the downsides: Have to use high grade gas and a lot of it. The XC90 is a heavy fuel user and the fill-ups can get expensive! Good Luck and Enjoy!"
