Nice car but be careful.

Before buying used, have an independent mechanic check it over. I had a bad experience with the dealer with several expensive issues shortly after my purchase. Brakes, alignment/tires, shock and steering wheel electronics (voice command, radio). The steering wheel electronics problem is common.

Love this car

I bought 2018 s90 pre owned Volvo about 2wks ago. Was going to buy a Cad they couldn't get the air-condition to work and I live in Fl. so they brought the Volvo. I've heard they are good but never thought of buying one. We drove it and bought it. I can't believe the room it has. No way I can list all the features it has. I have spent hrs watching YouTube to learn how everything works and I still don't know all.

The Build Quality is Lacking

I purchased my 2018 Volvo S90 in June of 2018 and for 3 years straight, when it rained, water entered the car in the passenger footwell. I brought it to the dealer and they were unable to fix the issue after three years. I contacted Volvo corporate and they kept sending me back to the dealer.

Great new vehicle.

Great new vehicle.First time Volvo owner and so far I love it. It’s got a great look inside and out. With lots of room for the family. It also gives a great ride.

Most Reliable and Beautiful Car I've owned.

I LOVE MY S90. I bought it used at Carmax (1 yo) and have had it now for 2 years. The car is reliable, beautiful, and wearing well. The technology is still cutting edge even a few years after it was released. Worth every penny.

So sleek and roomy

i l9ve the looks and space of this car. The T5 momentum base model with 19 inch momentum package wheels looks amazing. The base stereo is just okay, and tge JBL upgrade for 900 bucks is pretty great. It is definitely not the sports car I came from, but it more than holds its own on back roads.

Have driven nothing but Volvos for over 30 yrs.

This is one of the most beautifully designed Volvos I've ever owned and this is #19 for our family. My husband & I have driven Volvos since I was pregnant with our 1st child 32 years ago. Now our adult children drive them, having also been the recipients of ours cars when it was time for a new one. I can't say enough about this particular model, it has great lines, so clean with a dash that's simple but provides everything within an easy reach. The seats have only become more comfortable over the years, despite having a lower back injury, I find it's no problem on a long drive. I highly recommend this car for anyone interested in a comfortable, luxurious car with good gas mileage and everyday driving.

My first Volvo vehicle.

Very luxury car but a sporty feel. Nice exterior and interior color. Got a pretty good deal from the dealership. Sales lady was friendly and helpful.

Love it more than my previous car a BMW 528i

Love all the leg room this car offers plus the comfort & power is amazing. All the safety features dropped my insurance over 200 a month.
