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.

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 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.

The Volvo XC90 is the first Volvo I have driven, although it is my husband's second Volvo. He was sold on Volvo's because of their dependability and safety, two things that are very important to us for transporting our children. The XC90 is a sporty-designed SUV, not boxy (like I remember the older Volvos). It is roomy, well appointed with dual airbags, temperature control for the front drivers and passengers seats, and a TV for watching movies on the back of the front headrests. It seats 7, although the back 2 seats (back row) are not comfortable if you are an adult, or even an older kid...but they are perfect for younger kids. The middle seat (in the middle row) also has a built-in booster seat, which is handy; it also converts to a traditional seat quite easily. The outside seat on the middle row can easily slide back to gain access to the back row, but with a car seat there (in our case) the kids have to climb in through the trunk, or step over the middle seat. It would be nice if it was a little roomier (especially in the back seat) and sometimes I feel like they really just fit that third row in there so they could say it seats 7. But either way, with so limited choices for seating this many people (mini van? No, thank you.), we've found this was a very good choice for our family. And even though it's a 2008, you'd never guess it wasn't a newer model because of the dashboard features.
