    Bought New, firsts 80,000 mile on the highway to NC, San

    Bought New, firsts 80,000 mile on the highway to NC, San Antonio, New Orleans, Memphis. Like being in my living room lazy boy. Sturdy ride. No major problems. Maintenance on schedule. On my second set of tires. Second set brakes. It's a highway vehicle for sure. Quick precise steering. It's a keeper so far. Two minor repairs. Brake pedal sensor. Can't remember the other thing.

    Great SUV

    I love this car! So reliable, easy to own. Great space, looks good. Built like a tank, but drives smooth - even had a button buck hit and bounce off - no damage at all. Highly recommend.

    Excellent choice. Best ever, actually.

    Volvos are the BEST VALUE FOR THE MONEY, bar none. Cheap is expensive and expensive is cheap in the long run. Even if you buy used.

    Safe car

    We have owned Volvo cars since 1988 and they have been the safest car around. We were T-boned and we all walked out with nothing more than a few scrapes on my arm from the broken window and a broken toe. Survived 2 different deer hitting our cars Survived a rear end collision with nothing more than a headache

    Best car I?ve owned!

    My 2014 XC90 Premier-Plus has been a very good car. I bought it used with 25,000 miles 2 years ago and now I have 129,000. I haven?t had a single problem other than regular matinance. I?m hoping it will last 300,000 miles and am pretty confident it will up to this point. I was surpised by how comfortable the car is when I first test drove it before buying. It?s quiet when on the highway. Seats are amazing. Just enough bells and whistles to make one happy. Despite a good sounding mighty roar the engine puts out when accelerating power is extremely inadequate for its size, I wish they put the T6 (3.0 6 Cylinder Turbo 302HP) that is an option in all the other models. The transmission is super smooth and fairly quick reacting. It drives like a tank! I have never driven a car so smooth and firm, even on ice the thing is always planted to the ground, I don?t think I have ever had a problem skidding or brining it to a stop in the snow. I saw a video on YouTube where this guy took it to an icy parking lot at night and pounded the accelerator to the floor, the thing barreled straight forwards as if there were no ice at all! I wouldn?t dare to try it though... I hate it when people say it is outdated because it isn?t really, I think even now it still looks better than most the cars on the road. And don?t even get me started on quality, everything about the car feels solid, taking it off-road wouldn?t be a problem because of its ride height and ruggedness. As much as I?d love to keep it to 300k miles, I love the new 2016-19 XC90. I might eventually trade in for the new version. Anyways, I would highly recommend buying this car to anyone who wants something safe, reliable, comfortable, and is willing to sacrifice a little bit of power for all of the good things about the car. VOLVO FOR LIFE!

    Safety and Comfortable Quality

    The XC90 R-Design has all the extra comfort and features of a high-end Volvo. It sits a bit high and rides a bit harsh, but overall it has the power and weight to offer a very safe ride. Holds up the the quality Volvo is known for.
