This is my first Volvo and although it took a while to get familiar with the controls, I love it! The side and rearview mirrors, warning sounds and lights have taken care of blind spots that are usual in a larger SUV, and have prevented accidents. The ride is still so smooth after 3 years, I can easily read a book on long trips. The front and rear seat adjustments allow everyone to be comfortable. We are glad for the bumper to bumper 5 year coverage we bought at purchase, and they immediately fixed any minor problems we've had over the last 3 years.

This was my first and only Volvo purchase. Very comfortable Inscription trim and the power from the B6 was great. However reliability is questionable. The air conditioning and electronics stopped working on the first day in the 90s. I read other reviews about this and ignored it but I guess I should not have. How terrible to not have air when you need it most. I’ve read others have the same issue and the dealers can’t fix it. The user interface is terrible Really disappointed in what is supposed to be a luxury car. The car does not retain its value either compared to its competitors. Too much risk for me and such a poor experience after owning for only a couple of months. Never again! Back to Honda, Toyota and Lexus for sure!!! Don’t waste your money on a Volvo.

Great car. I compare it with a high-end Mercedes that I own, Volvo is generally better built, more comfortable especially on extra long trips, quieter on the road, and intuitive in most use cases. The Bowers and Wilkins sound system is definitely superior to anything I’ve heard in high-end vehicles. The interior design is minimalistic, and the car lacks the prestige that comes with the price. From a reliability stand point, it has never put us down, and has almost completely overcome the early Goole system glitches.
