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.

My experience with Volvo vehicles, including most recently the XC90, has left me disappointed. Generally, I like the style and design of the vehicles. Performance and handling were also good. However, quality issues (electrical failures, mechanical failures, etc.) left me not trusting the vehicle long term.
