Dependable

The vehicle is very clean and well maintained for a used car. It is comfortable without being big and difficult to drive or maneuver. The interior is like new!

Great buy!

This is a car I wanted for a while but didn?t think I could afford. It fits my needs and my family as well. So glad to finally have this car.

Volvo for life!

I have owned several volvos in the last 15 years and they never disappoint. My current XC-90 is spacious,comfortable, safe, and reliable. We have 3 young boys and travel monthly, and the Volvo's interior provides plenty of space for all 5 in our family. If we have a friend or 2 joining us, the vehicle seats 7 passengers. My only disappointment would be the slightly underpowered 3.2 liter straight line 6 cylinder engine producing 230 HP. The car has enough torque and pep for average driving, but no extra "punch" if you really needed it.

Best overall car I've ever owned

I always wanted a Volvo XC 90 and initially waited 3 years for my first one.....this is now my 4th and I wouldn't consider any other - everything about this car is perfect for me

My fifth Volvo

Absolutely a dream to drive. It is roomy enough to chauffeur our daughter and five of her friends (shortest in the third row of course) with space behind the third row seating for all their "stuff". When the third row is down, there's room for all the hauling that I end up doing without needing our truck. It's amazing how many bags of feed can fit in the back with out having to lower the backseats. The leather is soft and buttery but withstands a lot of wear.

the Volvo Most reliable car I have owned

The Volvo XC90 is a very reliable, comfortable & has effficent car. It is not too big & not small like some other SUV?s. The style does not change, so in a couple of years you do not feel lost or you are driving a old car.

Definitely an upgrade all around

This car is perfect for my large family. It?s comfortable for all of us and has the reliability of a Volvo motor! I always feel safe, secure, and confident behind the wheel.

Just purchased two weeks ago...

I just traded my 2007 Lexus LS 460 for the Volvo suv...Of course they are very different, and honestly took me a few days to truly adjust. I now have a 10 year old grandson living with us, and because we take frequent trips to the mountains and beach, with usually 5 passengers; family and one tag along friend; we have found it necessary to "rent" a larger 7 seat vehicle to travel comfortably. I decided to buy a vehicle with 3rd row seating. It is my 1st SUV to own. I an a 200lb. six footer and my wife is barely 5 feet and 110 lbs. She would not even consider driving my Lexus, and she is comfortable driving the Volvo, if need be instead of her 2012 Jetta SEL; black on black; very pretty for a VW. The rear seat DVD players; one behind each front seat has been wonderful...no more bickering about radio or cd's..quiet kids are a blessing to a born to drive car guy. This car has bluetooth, back up camera, navigation, parking sensors...must say that the Swedish version of a GPS 2013, model is not even close to that of the 2007 Lex, but the the almost retro cool of the Volvo has proven challenging, but for me a little fun as well. It is still a tad more complicated than I believe need be, but after all...what car can truly compete with the Lexus simplicity and attention to detail; as I said, they are not apple to apple, but that perhaps being over stated...I look forward to seeing how we travel ; 3 adults and two kids; a teenager and a ten, on the Thanksgiving trek to the N.C. mountains; I know that the Volvo AWD will be great if it snows..

Best car I have ever owned!

This car is a great family and personal car. I have loved driving it and will be sad when it sells. I have opted for a vehicle that I can take off-road and do not have the room for two cars. I hope someone will take care of her as well as I have, she is a great car!

Good value for the price

Heavy car and has a nice ride on the highway. AWD works good in the winter on all season radial tires. I have had a couple of XC90 vehicles and both have been very reliable. I keep up with scheduled maintenance which helps keep the car running like new.
