  consumer rating - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By Michele McArdle - January 16 - 3:03 am

  This car is so much fun to drive and I feel very, very safe in it. Cargo capacity is great and I find Im grateful for the space more often than I anticipated. Just wish the gas mileage was better.

  Extremely comfortable to drive. Outstanding highway performance. Very reliable to date.Many passers-by cant identify the make of this car. They most often ask, "what is it?".

  Volvo Rating - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By BR - October 25 - 4:26 am

  Ive driven the Volvo on long drives, around town, and in the mountains. The vehicle is very fast, solid, confortable, and reliable. I had a Range Rover before the Volvo and believe the Volvo is at least its equal at a much lower price.

  Volvo V8 Roar - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By KD - October 8 - 10:36 am

  Excellent, well built AWD SUV Fun to drive and solid performance for an SUV, superior handling in Hwy speeds 65mph and over. Steering Feels very light in city driving and for speeds below 50mph. A slight disapointment after a few hours driving in the Texas Freeways coming into the city traffic. Smooth roaring of V8 (audible from Drivers side only)provides constant re assurance of a serious power plant under the hood able for 311 hp.

  Sweeeet! - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By denise - October 8 - 9:06 am

  This is one of the most comfortable, reliable and consistent vhicles which I have ever owened. I would buy it all over again. I wish they made a more fuel efficient model, or perhaps a hybrid as I have a lot of highway miles. I truly feel my family is safest in this car. The rear third row seats are tight, but I use them for my kids. It gives lots of options when we travel great distances, which we do each summer. The car is great for formals as well! Todays weather-it flooded, and there were cars stalled allover; me, I was crusin along, touring the country side with great ease. Suggestion; always get the extra warranty protection! luv my ride!

  Happy because I bought the model with the good engine! - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By rootleaf - October 7 - 11:37 pm

  We purchased this car a little over one year ago. I never thought we would be a Volvo family but now we are. I was looking to get my wife out of the mini van rutt we had been in since our first child. Now the kids are getting bigger and a van is not so necessary. I bought this car for her as a surprise. I paid 12k for it in Dec. 2011 and it had 100k miles on it then. The timing belt had not been done yet so I had that replaced immediately by our mechanic as well as the water pump and other belts for 500 dollars. Since Dec. 2011 we have not spent one more dollar in maintenance other than oil changes. This car drives great. Read the reviews and be sure you buy the 2.5 turbo engine!

  Dont think twice - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By John - September 6 - 6:46 am

  I have owned almost every luxury SUV, incl. Lexus, Landcruiser, BMW, Mercedes, etc. This is the best for money and may be the best period. No seat this comfy & supportive!! Im hard to please, but like it mucho. Chose the T5 over T6 b/c 1" smaller wheel rim= more comfy ride. Powers fine. Price is no object for me. This is a "steal". BUY IT---DONT THINK TWICE!!

  Best Car Weve Ever Had - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By shieatt - August 8 - 6:36 pm

  We found a sweet deal on our used XC90 - 2 years old, only 6500 miles! Car has every option. My wife and I agree that it is the best car we have ever had (and weve had some nice cars). I was nervous about the T6 model, having read that it is slightly underpowered with a poor transmission - but happy to report that the car has plenty of power and shifts smoothly. The AWD system is fantastic - used it to climb an unpaved, snowy/icy grade with no wheel spin - amazing. Great ride and handling. Interior ergonomics very well thought out.

  XC90 V8 - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By Sheryl - August 3 - 4:06 pm

  Have shopped every 3 row SUV out there. For us, this one hits a home run. More useable interior space than a Sequoia or Escalade, due to folding first, second and third row seats, safety features unmatched by any other , the most comfortable seats I tried and a smooth, easy ride made the decision clear. The V8 is a pleasure to drive. It is smooth, crisp and powerful. The interior is among the quietest of any Ive been in.

  Probably the best car I have owned - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By Steve A - July 26 - 5:10 am

  Ive owned quite a few cars until sticking for nearly 14 years with my old Honda before purchasing the Volvo XC90. This is a solid SUV with the best safety features found. I participated in the Volvo sponsored Drivers Experience, which trained me in how to use the various safety features on the car. In the driving I do on Southern California freeways daily, I feel much more secure in this car than in any other car I have owned. My two Golden Retrievers like it, too!
