Excellent car for our needs.

This is our 4th Volvo. All three of the previous Volvos were great cars and this one is even better. We have not experienced any problems with this car. It is well made! We feel safe and secure when driving this car. The safety and convenience features are great.

Luxury at it's best this Inscription model XC90

This vehicle is a top notch choice from Volvo and also their idea of what luxury is. The styling is dateless, the ride as if on air and the amenities boundless. It is my dream car and there are so many good things I could say about it; however there is not enough space to list them. But, I will say" I would buy it again and again."

Beautiful reliable luxury car!

I previously owned a Volvo and really loved it. When I need to upsize for my family of 6, the XC90 was a great option because of the 3rd row.

Big Swede in the snow

Strong SUV. Had a lot of luxury brands and the Volvo is as nice as any. I love the way the car looks, drives and handles. Interior is amazing. The car is a little underpowered if you have a heavy foot. Typical European woes with rattles and busy suspension. Trooper in the bad weather and snow

Great car. Would but again

Volvo has it all except for the hesitation when you step on it. They need to improve that weakness.

Our First Vovo

We purchased this XC90 two months ago and so far we are in love. The styling is beautiful and we're blown away by the performance that a turbo 4cyl delivers. The interior is a work of art and the ride is really comfortable.

The most Gorgeous SUV on the road

I've had the vehicle for over 6 months now, bought a used one, with pretty much every option except the HUD, which I really wish I had. Has the best front seat comfort, hands down the best audio system in any car at this price point, lovely interior lighting options, the most handsome looking 7-seaters on the market, which does not look like a wagon, totally in love with the car. There have been some down sides, like some tech not working, there is learning curve, but once you are over it, its a dream to operate and play with. The ride comfort is a little on the harsh side, but then you will get used to it. The ride could feel under powered at times, but if you switch it to Dynamic mode, you will never have such complaints, gives good mileage when on long road trips and the levels of comfort in the back seats for my kids is just great. I've loaded the car with 6 other people and still the pulling power is excellent. I have the momemtum, with the momentum plus package, wish I bought an inscription, but otherwise as well, it is a great car, no wonder it won so many awards and is termed the most awarded SUV of the century. I love it, just get your additional warranties and you are good to go for a few years.

Enjoying the car more than I realized I would.

I am extremely happy with this purchase. I still own my 2006 s60, which is still such a zippy car to drive, and decided to go for the upgrade and larger vehicle. I drive a long commute, 2 hrs, and the XC90 is incredibly comfortable to drive. I opted for the upgraded sound system which is superb as well. Love the adapted cruise control and 360 camera for parking all the time. Almost 2 years and 26K and have only had to have break pads replaced. The only item I would like them to work on is the air fan, that could be quieter.
