I like these cars, but I didn't initially

I would recommend this SUV for anyone who is looking for a great value for the money. They are smooth riding, great performance, and very well built. My only recommendation is to find a local mechanic that you trust to work on your vehicle. Volvo dealer parts are expensive and you can find cheaper and just as good quality from your local parts stores.

Great SUV

I love this car. Very low maintenance costs, reliable and very very durable. However, no aux cord or USB. And it is almost impossible to get an aftermarket radio.

Will never buy another model other than the XC90!

This vehicle is amazing. I purchased it at 161,989 for 4500 in 2014. It is 2017, it has 201k, and is still running strong. Super safe, starts right up, handles well. I've been made into a faithful used Volvo buyer! Let's see how long this thing runs for and when it dies, I will gladly buy another!

Great SUV

Drives great, comfortable, roomy and rated high for safety. This SUV is powerful and great for towing. Plenty of room for several passengers.

2005 xc90 good value

Great car, a little under powered but dependable as the day is long, 2.5 is a workhorse. Beware of expensive sensors and angle gear in all ad system, magic number is 1k for repairs. Glad there aren't many.
