  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.

  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.

  [Review by Jim] - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By Jm - November 30 - 6:16 am

  I have a roof vibration that seems to have been resolved for the time being. I love the tight handling performance and accesibility into the back. There is an uncomfortable edge on the steering wheel in the design that I dont care for. The seats are VERY comfortable and I have a bad back, so I know! I wish the back seats were heated also. The GPS could be easier to use without all of the current steps necessary now. I wish the rear, side windows could vent open for the pets as they do in the Lexus. I wish also that the side mirrors would dim with the rearview interior mirror. There is a bad blind spot in the design that could be improved. I love this car even though I would change a bit.

  Great pick up when you need it. Stops on a dime. Very ergonomic,everything is within easy reach on the dash. Safe, and a beautiful design.

  Love the XC90 - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By PJ - August 31 - 5:00 am

  This car is really cool to look at, but more importantly so safe! It drives so well and is so sturdy on the highway. Even in windy conditions or passing a truck, it hugs the road and never blows around. It has lots of interior room and is very comfortable.

  another volvo - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By 2ndVolvo - May 28 - 12:33 pm

  I drive 1995 Volvo 850, and my wife had 2003 Honda Pilot SUV. Right away after we test drove 2.5T XC90 I decided to trade-in the honda SUV ( which started to show degradation in suspension and interior quality after only 2.5 years). I test drove 2.5T again and felt that 5- cylinder engine did not have enough power. T6 were not available anymore, so I got V8 2005 year model. We are very happy w/ the vehicle so far (~1300 miles in 2 weeks). As others said, it drives and feels more like a sedan, not your typical SUV-there is very minimal body roll, great acceleration and braking, no nose-dive forward as you brake,suspension very comfortable and you dont feel any bumps/potholes, except major ones

  Love my XC90 - 2005 Volvo XC90
  By Lin - May 20 - 7:53 am

  I am totally pleased with my 2005 XC90. The ride is a dream and the handling is great. I feel safer in this vehicle than any other car. My other car is a 2004 Corvette which is totally fun to drive. The Volvo is fun too. I wish I did not have the 3rd row seats but that is the way it came. It was the only red XC90 that I could find in So. Calif. so I took it with the extra seats that will never be used. My choice. They are only made for little children. Adults would never fit. Next one, and there will be a next one will not have the 3rd row seats. Summary: I LOVE my XC90!
