Lots of things go wrong I have owned this car 5 years and it has done only 30,000 miles

steering rack went (dealer said caused by potholes what on a 4x4 offroader)

cd player stopped working £600

wheel bearings at 15,000 miles

all the trim in the car falls off

locking petrol cap stopped working

steering lock ignition(worn out ? at 4 years old i have had 20 year old cars that have had less faults)

wishbones replaced

on the plus side the xc90 drives nice is roomy and econonomical for a big 4x4

If you buy one get a very good warrenty

Volvo advertise Volvo for Life (this is true but get ready to pay)

dvd/tvs stopped working

The Volvo XC90 D5 S is a very comfortable 7 seats motor. That perform like a saloon vehicle.I have the auto which is very economical for such a big 4x4. Solid and lots of safety features,with plenty of room for luggage Etc: I bought a high mileage used XC90 but its very reliable and has all the Volvo service records . If you like safe,reliable,motors with plenty of room then you would not go far wrong with one. Only bad point is headlights stay on all the time, upsets other drivers, but at least they see you....good safety point but does attract some unwanted gestures.

Wow! I'm simply going to sing this cars praises! I've just switched from a diesel Range Rover Sport which was absolutely rubbish! This car isn't too expensive to keep with its average of 34 mpg. The car is comfy and as good storage space. A main thing for me, having a big family was the great build quality.

If your thinking about buying this car, then don't! Just go ahead and buy it. If you can afford the car then you can afford its fuel economy which is actually quite impressive for a 4x4!
