    The Volvo XC90 is an incredible vehicle combining luxury and utility. Every aspect of this car has been thoroughly thought through. This is easily the best SUV available on the market today.

    After waiting for 3 months, I was one of the first people to pick up their XC90. I am happy to say that the wait was well worth it! The ride is beautiful. Its alot easier to park than I expected it to be, and the 6cd stereo has alot of features.

    We bought our XC90 used, knowing that it had a couple of problems to fix, but thought that the discount of buying it used would make up the difference, were we wrong. After multiple trips to the Volvo dealership for engine light issues, door seal leaks, transmission seal leaks, brake master cylinder leak/failure, and several other small engine repairs. Weve deemed the check engine light the "$1000 light", because every time it comes on or we make a trip to the dealership for repairs it costs at least $1000. Great idea for Volvos first SUV, but plagued with problems. Later years dont seem to be much better. Fun to drive, looks great, way too expensive to maintain and repair!

    I have made two recent road trips in the past 2 months,2ooo mile round trip (20hrs each way, 2days ew.) and 1000 mile round trip (7hrs each way,1 day ew.) and had extreem weather conditions. My xc90 was a pleasure to drive and preformed exceptionaly well. My mpg was probably around 18.5.The drive was very comfortable.

  • Safety first.. Volvo First - 2003 Volvo XC90

    My wife and I wnated a mini van, something that can hold 7 passengers. Waited a year after the intorduction at the Detroit Auto show, and it was WORTH the wait. Car like drive, lots of nice features, and you feel very safe in this suv. I have been sold on Volvo and this is my second car, nothing beats feeling safe! After 6 months I am happy to see all the GREAT reviews... means we made a good decision :)

  • Excellent SUV - 2003 Volvo XC90
    By -

    Had a T6 test drive. Car-like handling. Assuring brakes. Great and very comfort seats. Simple, but very functional instrumental layout. Very quiet riding and safe feeling inside. Easy access to the thrid row seats. Great cargo space even with all 7 seats up unlike Acuras MDX.

  • Serious Competition - 2003 Volvo XC90

    Well I had a chance to test drive this SUV at the SF preview and I am very impressed. Quality is excellent and Volvo has done their homework with respect to providing a complete package. I always knew Volvos were safe, but this SUV is truly amazing. Even at full throttle it is impossible to flip this thing. During the test drive we had it going almost sideways at about 55mph and the safety features kept the vehicle always in control.

  • XC90 Never Again! - 2003 Volvo XC90
    By -

    I have owned many cars, never one like this. I am at the service bay at least twice a month-sometimes more. I have replaced just about everything in my XC90. At 80,000 miles expect to purchase a new transmission. I have already replaced my manifold, radiator- twice, brakes (twice a year) and tires annually (thanks to the awd-at least thats what ive been told). The only thing I havent replaced is the steering wheel- at least not yet! And my T6 is dangerously slow!
