After test driving multiple new vehicles, I fell in love with how nicely the Volvo SUV rode; however, I couldn't afford a new one. However, I purchased a 2008 Volvo XC90 back in 2015 and am very pleased with it. I have always heard that Volvos were great vehicles, but now I can confirm that those opinions are very true. I have almost 50,000 miles, and my SUV drives just like the new Volvos did back at the dealership.

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 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!
