2006 Volvo XC90 - RELIABLE
I like that this vehicle has great pickup. It gives me great gas mileage.
It just feels like it is made well and a lot of thought and effort was put into the design of this vehicle. It is comfortable to drive in and I feel better and safer driving this. I always wanted a Volvo and I am so glad I finally got one. It was worth the wait. I feel it is safer than most American made cars. It is a good size. I love the color and I think I will own this vehicle for a very long time. I could pass it on to my child when she is old enough to drive it. I can put a lot of items in the back. It also has a good security system. I also think it handles itself well in snow.

My daughter says it looks like a spaceship! She is 5.

The top positive thing is the great gas mileage and the high safety rating. My favorite feature is the sleek design.

The steering wheel and seats get very hot at times. The seats in the back are not big enough to store things on.

2013 Volvo XC90 - I love my XC90!
I purchased my 2013 Volvo XC90 two years ago from a trusted dealer. It had about 35,000 miles on it at the time and had only one previous owner. My previous car was a Volvo too, so I must admit that I'm a fan and biased toward this brand. The XC90 has continued to amaze me the whole time I've owned it. I had never had an SUV before, so I was a little nervous about that to start, but now I'm used to it and love the versatility. Volvos are built so well, it's hard not to feel safe in one. It is very solid and sturdy yet also so luxurious and cozy. Every new person who rides in my car remarks on how comfortable it is! One pleasant surprise: all the kids in my youngest child's class wanted to ride with us for field trips. Who knew a typical "mom car" could be considered "cool"? I... (more)

One pleasant surprise: all the kids in my youngest child's class wanted to ride with us for field trips. Who knew a typical "mom car" could be considered "cool"? I haven't had a single problem with this vehicle ever, and I've only had to do routine maintenance and replace the tires, so that has greatly eased my worries about a high cost of ownership. This past winter broke all sorts of local records for snow accumulation and low temperatures, but my Volvo XC90 got my family everywhere we needed to go and kept us warm getting there. I love this car for the safety, security, and convenience it offers my family. Plus it drives, looks, and feels great too! I adore this car and plan to drive it for many years.
Very soon after I got this vehicle, I got to try it out on a trip into the mountains. Even though there was unexpected snow, it was great fun to drive and performed way better than I expected, even on the steepest climbs.

So many positives! I chose it mainly for the Volvo name and for third-row seating, and I'm so glad I did. It's perfect for driving lots of kids around or for carrying big loads like drum sets and lawnmowers around town. The height is perfect, neither too high nor low. Kids love that the back seats all have A/C vents and a charging port, oh and cup holders too. I feel very comforted knowing that Volvo designs everything with safety as their first priority. It's mine too.

Hmmm. This is tougher. In general, I wish they had a comfortable and luxurious seating option that was not leather. On my particular car, the passenger door sometimes doesn't close properly. That can probably be fixed. This is definitely a "mom" car, or family car, so I can understand how its style won't appeal to everyone.

2008 Volvo XC90 - Decent family car
Purchased this vehicle from a family friend a few years ago. This SUV can take a beating! I travel often for work, just recently I made the 10-hour commute to Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, with a coworker. At first I was worried we wouldn't have enough room to pack her stuff and mine in the trunk of my car. I was pleasantly wrong. The trunk space is definitely desirable. The SUV drives like a luxury car; it's quiet and smooth. However, at times, it feels like I'm driving a bus whenever I'm making a sharp turn. It feels like it's floating. Nothing alarming, but it does take some time to get used to. One major drawback is the backseat. This SUV is designed for small children to fit in the back. My husband is 6'4", and whenever he is driving, no one can sit behind his seat since he has to move... (more)

It feels like it's floating. Nothing alarming, but it does take some time to get used to. One major drawback is the backseat. This SUV is designed for small children to fit in the back. My husband is 6'4", and whenever he is driving, no one can sit behind his seat since he has to move the seat all the way back. Fortunately, this vehicle has third-row seating, so whenever we do travel, my teenage son usually just sits all the way in the back, and we just throw everything we're taking with us in the back seat. Since this is a 2008 model, don't expect all the bells and whistles you'll get with a newer vehicle; however, don't count this SUV out either. The safety features alone are worth the consideration. Because of this vehicle, I believe I will be Volvo for life!
I drive this car everywhere. Recently took the ten-hour drive to Leavenworth, KS, for work. During my spare time, I explored Kansas City, Missouri, and got lost. However, this car handled every terrain as possible. I was on smooth pavement and didn't flinch when it hit every pothole imaginable. It still handled like a dream on dirt roads.

Drives like a luxury car. Trunk space. Third-row seating. Safety. Auto dimming rear view mirror.
