Good Points: The Volvo XC90 looks really nice in the Executive trim. Motor and drive train are smooth.
Bad Points: Electronics. When it rains, the parking sensors have a mind of their own! In less than 24,000 kms - it has been back to the dealer at least every two weeks. The 'premium' stereo lacks a 'start-up' volume setting. Most settings/changes need to go back to the dealer to be programed. The parking assist on the BMW is far superior. The ability to customize setting on the Volkswagen beats the Volvo hands down. Finally, customer service at Volvo really is not interested in either the customer or in service.
General comments: Looking for a new car already.

We've only just taken delivery of this Volvo XC90 three weeks ago so please bear this in mind when reading this review.
This is a wonderful, smooth and sophisticated car. Design features abound with room for seven passengers. The rear most two seats are proper leather clad seats and comfortable. They fold into the floor and are suitable for 6ft folk for around 45min journeys. Kids and smaller adults will be fine for much longer. Middle three seats fold flat and all are easy to operate gi ...

This is our second SUV -we traded 2003 Honda Pilot (which was only 2.5 year old) for Volvo V8 XC 90. We put almost 9,000 miles on this car and I still enjoy every second I drive it. It is probably the best combination of drivability, comfort and safety you can get today. V8 engine is very smooth and powerfull. Very good premium radio, goosd seats -drove over 400 miles in bad weather -no back ache, nothing like that after driving for almost 8 hours.

Primarily used as a pretty people transporter and continental motorway muncher the Volvo XC90 has performed surprisingly well off road and as a work horse.
Volvo have always provided safety features and mod cons, such as heated seats, always on head lamps and that tank like invincible build quality that have endeared it as a marque to me since I first owned a Volvo 940 Estate (Station Wagon) back in 1992 but its credibility as an SUV puts the XC90 into unknown territory.
This car is like o ...

The Volvo XC90 SUV is a good family car with various smart details.
The build quality is good.
The only down point is the 2.4 litre diesel engine is quite slow in accelartion for such heavy car.

Overall the Volvo XC90 SUV is an excellent product. Far, far better product than the Mercedes 270 CDI ML which I had before.
