  Worst Car Ever - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By discostu - June 24 - 8:53 pm

  So far this is the most expensive, and most unreliable car Ive ever owned. It has been TOWED 4 times in 18 months because it just shut off. We bought the car for percieved reliability and safety and have gotten none of the above. The car looks great and is fun to drive, but a car that breaks down all the time defeats the purpose.

  Love this SUV - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By DougT - June 4 - 4:16 am

  I wanted to buy this SUV and was told to only buy the V8. Im happy I did. The car has some zip. The driving position and front seats are extremely comfortable. Ive driven it in the snow and rain and its handled beautifully. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who wants a high end SUV. The gas mileage has been fine. I keep it steady at 60-85 and get 16-18 on the highway. If you are erratic and punch it all the time, youll get less.

  A Very Happy Comsumer - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By David Nelson - March 21 - 10:00 am

  My wife and I have very please with this vehicle we now own a Suburban SLT2500 and a Mercedes Benz E Class. This vehicle not only out performs both in many ways, the style, elegance and comfort far exceed both. We drove the X5, ML and Lexus 300 and found the Volvo the most fun to drive. The fit and finish are excellent and dealer service a pleasent experience

  Nice car but needs touch up - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By L T - March 21 - 10:00 am

  2005 with 3400 miles and no complaints for driving. Our 1992 Jeep Cherokee Limited has better leather and comfort in the front bucket seats and visibility but not as nice a ride. Paint seems to be not as good as the Volvo of past already a couple chips on the front.

  Availability of parts - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By sportette - March 4 - 9:40 pm

  I bought my XC 90 used, 29,000 miles on it. I hit a deer December 26th. It is now May 9th and I am still waiting for parts that the dealership says are on order. I do have the car because the missing parts do not affect the drivability. I still find this amount of time excessive. I do love the car and have always wanted a Volvo. I have had electrical issues with the radio changing stations by itself, doors locking by themselves or not wanting to unlock. I have not been able to figure out how to program the visor buttons to open our garage door. I cannot find the section that covers this in my owners manual. I am also disappointed in the gas mileage.

  I feel Safe - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By Steve Rasik - January 25 - 3:16 am

  The first time I had to make an evasive move, I knew I had made the right choice in buying the XC90. The antiroll and Stability Traction Control is flawless. The interior is so thought out that it took me less than a day to "fell" where everyting was.

  would not buy another - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By j - January 14 - 2:16 am

  We are on the 5th set of tires (not cheap ones either)and Volvo refuses to believe some problem. They supposedly lined it up and even put the first set on at less than 8k miles free. The tires wear on the inside every time. The plastic casing the seats in front sit on have broken. One time they replaced free then I had to pay $95.00 second time and now passenger side broken. They told me they put a better plastic on now when they did the driver seat for second time. I love the look of the car but too much trouble and would not buy another.

  Stay Clear - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By new jersey - December 21 - 6:06 am

  We bought our xc90 new. Have had a multitude of problems two wheel bearing hubs rear, steering rack, drive shaft, tie rod ends and two transmissions. Funny thing is my mother bought the same car at the same time and had all the same problems and is going for transmission number 3. good luck to all of us who got stuck with the t-6 nightmare!!!!!

  Volvo XC-90 - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By R. Pyott - December 12 - 4:53 pm

  The XC-90 is fun and gives me a great feeling of security and safety. The handling is excellent. It has a nice turning radius. Acceleration on the highway is very good. The controls are conveniently positioned. I love the exterior appearance of the car. At first, the headrests felt a little strange but I love them now plus they are one of the only cars to pass the whiplash crash test.
