Pros: Safety, interior volume, ride quality, third row available
Cons: Handles like an SUV, unrefined engine noises, non-linear power delivery, rear visibility, third row cramped
Summary: The Volvo brand is more closely associated with safety than any other. Many people buy SUVs because they are perceived as safe. It seems a natural fit. Yet Volvo did not get a true SUV to market until 2003. (The station wagon-based XC70 doesn’t ... read more

Pros: Great styling and does handle very well...
Cons: Dash, running light switch location and dealing with Volvo
Summary: Love the body styling and purchased the running boards which only enhanced the look. The the vehicle could just be driven. This car has been in the shop more times than any other car I have owned - ever! The GM for Volvo seems to be less than ... read more

Pros: Safe, safe, safe. Feels solid. Nice looking. Reasonable to own vs. other SUVs.
Cons: A bit truck like in the ride. Don't like the position of the seat recliner.
Summary: I still love the car. I cannot say enough good things about it. I love the service and enjoy driving it around. The ride is a bit truck-like in a sense, which I am not 100% thrilled about it but I find it acceptable. One of the main reasons I am ... read more

Pros: Safety features
Cons: Stereo system
Summary: I bought a 2004 Volvo XC90 T6 2.9L AWD with options. I didn't get the 7 seater due to the lack of leg room but the 5 seater is good enough for me. The leather seats are very comfortable with automatic adjustments. The problem with driving the volvo is ... read more

Pros: Style
Cons: Poor reliability
Gas mileage
Dealer Service
Electrical Problems
Summary: I've purchased the XC90 for my wife when she was 5 months pregnant. She was driving a 2002 ML320 and did not like the steering and a truck like feel. We should have kept it. We purchased the XC 90 (2005) about 30 days ago in Pasadena, CA and it has ... read more

Pros: styling, safety, solid construction
Cons: everything else
Summary: I've had my XC90 T6 for 4 mths now. Things I hate about the truck: 1. Very little storage space in the centre console; 2. Front dash is very boring (compared to the BMW X5); 3. Seats aren't very comfortable, lack of adjustable headrest; 4. The ... read more

Pros: Ride, safety, handling, quiet ride, space!
Cons: Gas mileage.
Summary: We got this car last July (July 2003) when it had just come out. We were expecting our first child and wanted to get rid of my "tin can" Honda CRV. We looked at the Acura MDX, the BMW X5, the VW Toureg, the Explorer and Expedition, the Pathfinder ... read more

Pros: This car's safety features,performance,fit and finish is fantastic - above and beyond all expectations.
Cons: Could use a couple more inches of leg room in the 3rd row seats.
Summary: It has safety, for its driver, occupants and those around it on its mind first and foremost but the XC90 has the same class and style of even the finest piece of automobile engineering. A car designed for real world driving. Performance: This ... read more

Pros: Safety, interior volume, third row, did I mention safety
Cons: Not worth talking about.
Summary: This review is from someone who actually owns one, and not from a test driver. We own and drive a 2004 Volvo XC90 T5 AWD with Climate and Versatility packages. People buy Volvos for safety, and Volvo has made some breakthroughs with this vehicle. I tell e ... read more

Pros: Good Looking. roll-over feature is great. nice interior and speakers
Cons: Headlight replacement: 500.00. New Transmission: 5,000.00.
Summary: Don't buy this year model or those years around the 2003. The transmission will fail. Mine just did at 70,000 miles. Supposedly, the transmission is a GM that doesn't have enough power to pull this heavy

Pros: Can't say enough about this car. Comfort and great mileage on hwy
Cons: Blind spot on the drivers side.
Summary: We purchased the 2006 Volvo XC90 2.5T with 8500 miles. This car was a loaner and is in immaculate condition. The car drives like a Lincoln Town Car (smooth) and performs like a BMW. If you are looking for comfort, safety and a solid crossover, this car

Pros: Like the three rows of seats.
Cons: Can't drive it in more than 2 inches of snow, otherwise you will get stuck.
Summary: Had many issues and getting stuck in more than two inches of snow. After 25K miles had to replace the tires because the threads wore away. Spent $56,000 dollars for a vehicle that can't go through snow and bad tires. There is a pause when the vehicle

Pros: Safe, attractive, and comfy
Cons: Slight blind spot
Summary: After much research, we bought a certified used T6 with all the options except navigation. We have been very pleased. We are long-time Volvo owners, and usually buy new, but this car was immaculate, and came to us with only 25K miles. It is rock

Pros: Solid Vehicle, Smooth Ride, European Styling, Safety, Good Gas Mileage for SUV, Seating Arrangement
Cons: Tire Balance
Summary: I am puzzled by the negative reviews listed along with the positive ones. I have owned and driven this SUV for the past 14 months and am very happy. The vehicle is as tight as the day I bought it 26,000 miles ago. Maybe it has something to do with the

Pros: Body Styling, Seat Comfort.
Cons: Electrical issues, Steering/seat vibration, AC odor, Brake wear, Console and control design challenges.
Summary: Only had it since June 2003 (8,000 miles) and it's been less than satisfactory for a high- priced luxury SUV. Bought it because I thought it was the most unique and beautiful body design on the drawing board. I even waited to buy a 2nd year edition so
