Volvo's are very safe vehicles, they are well worth the money you pay for them. They go for a lot of miles and are dependable vehicles they don't have too many issues that I'm aware of.
I like it because its a strong reliable safe vehicle. My vehicle is very roomy, it has the third row seating. I don't really dislike my vehicle at all.

God gave it to me. And volvos are reliable, sturdy and long lasting vehicles.
It is a great size because I am short and need to see other cars better. It is a very comfortable ride and I enjoy driving it. Besides, god gave it to me through some dear friends.

It is a wonderful and very reliable car!
I love my Volvo. We have owned it since 2007. It is a 2004 xc90. This car has a great miles/gallon ratio. It is a very reliable car. I have not found anything I do not like about it. When this car finally gives out, I will be getting a newer model of what I have.

Parts are expensive and hard to come by unless through a dealer.
Fits a family of 6 comfortably with room to spare. Very reliable vehicle, very few issues. Handles very well in all kinds of weather.

Innovations inside the Volvo
My car's features were quite innovation when it first came out in 2004, and until today, they're just as useful and competitive towards other cars, especially versus other US. The comfort is great, as the car is extra spacious with 3 rows of seats and the car being relatively tall.

Reliable and comfortable car
This car is really reliable. Its older and has some wear and tear, but in general it's comfortable and it also looks good. Super functional for my family of 5 and has plenty of room for more if needed. Its loaded so it has power everything and a sunroof. Plenty of space for storage. The back middle seat even flips up into a built in booster seat.

As of now my air conditioner is not blowing cold air.,
I love driving my Volvo. It is smooth and comfortable to drive. I love the space that I have and it has towing capabilities. All the features auto windows, sunroof, tailgate hatch are great to have in the vehicle. The sound system is loud and clear.

When the car is driven on warm summer days or for an extended period, power shuts off from overheat.
I do not recommend buying the volvo xc90 2004 suv. I think there should be a recall.
accountCircle Rachel H
The AC works great. Can't say the same for the windows.
It gets me from point a to b. Lots of things are broken on it. Parts that I don't think should have broken. Upkeep is a pain on it.
accountCircle Shekinah D
This car did not get talc from the previous owner.
The car is not very old but the previous owner did not take very good care of the car. There is always a problem with the car, especially electrical issues. Also the cost is very high to fix a lot of the problems.

The troubles with the xc90 SUV Volvo
I really enjoy vehicle but not giving problems but was told it would after high miles have high mileage and know throttle not great been putting lot water in radiator hoses starting to leak but beside that really like Volvo and I would really recommend the Volvo xc90 to everyone
accountCircle Suzanne H
Volvo fits us just right. I haul everything in it; sometimes even people!
I love the cargo room in back I can carry almost any, including all of my grandkids on a trip to Disneyland. It worked out beautifully for all of us with plenty of room for the kids. I feel very safe & comfortable in this SUV. The only downside was gas mileage of course.
accountCircle Melissa P
Expensive to maintain, but comfortable to drive.
Expensive to repair. Several expensive and time consuming repairs that seemed to result out of the blue. Even replacing the headlights it expensive! The radio no longer works. That said, it is very comfortable to drive and provides a feeling of luxury. I especially love the leather heated seats.
accountCircle Wayne H
It's on its last legs, starting to show its age. Need a new one.
It's old, time for a new one. It's a suv, was probably nice when new.
accountCircle Gloria R
I like that it's a small SUV with 3rd row.
It's not very roomy. The seats aren't car seat friendly, it's hard to get the kid's in and out of their car seats. Things fall apart, the side panels that hold the carpet down are coming up, it leaks. Haven't had a whole lot of problems with it, have had to have work done on it, due to the tires and sway bar making noise. It's a ok family car, even though it could be better.

accountCircle Aviva S on January 23, 2021
My car is both luxurious and safe. It has a substantial amount of miles on it and it is still in good shape.
Since it is older, the vehicle has needed a substantial amount of work/repairs in the past few years. Other than that, it is a safe and reliable car. Excellent for families.
