2006 xc90. We are the 2nd owners currently has approx.. 110,000 miles. Overall we are still very happy with it - it is the most comfortable car I have owned as both the driver and as a passenger to date ( I have personally sat in every seat in the car including the 3 row for at least an hour drive - the 3 row is tight I am 5'6" if I were any taller it would be cramped ). The downsides: it is very expensive to maintain - it is usually $300-600 each service mileage/check. It's not super efficient last time I checked I was getting around 13 mpg - but it is very comfortable and I have a short commute to work. Other positive things: I can fit a ton of stuff in the back - the third row folds completely flat the 2nd row to about a 45 degree angle. I have managed to fit two med armchairs (not recliners) and a ottoman.

Very safe and comfortable.
Very reliable car. Is nice an high for good visibility and handles well in the snow. Now that it is 13 years old, had to do some extra maintenance work replacing a brake sensor and the 6-CD player.

Very Reliable - would definitely recommend to anyone
We've had this car for over 10 years and 120,000 + miles with no unusual problems. Will definitely consider buying again

The one most important thing that others should know about my car is how safe it is.
I love the feel and safety of my car. I dislike the fact that it is very hard to get it repaired. I love the size and features.

Family car- safe, fun and luxe!
High performing, roomy car with luxury amenities such as memory seat and mirror settings for up to 3 drivers. Plenty of cargo area and love the way the cargo entry/ tailgate functions. Back lifts up, but there is a 8 ish inch high tailgate that holds any bags in that may have shifted in transit. Built in booster seat saves room and bulk and allows for easy carpooling with families. Smooth driving, reliable car. Feel very secure in it. Only one thing we did not consider was a mechanic specializing in Volvo's before the purchase. Maintenance and repairs are (naturally) more expensive on this European car. However, aside from routine maintenance, no major repairs have been necessary. It has 150k+ miles and is still driving very well!

My awesome amazing car runs great
It's my first car and I love it to death. It had quite a number of miles already on it when I got it but it still runs just fine. Definitely built to last

This is a heavy car that is very safe. It has been very reliable with few repairs. I love the space in this SUV.

The Volvo xc90 is an incredibly solid, safe car, as driver or passenger,
I originally purchased my Volvo for its safety features. The seat headrests and the steel bars down the sides of the car caught my attention as I did the research. My Volvo glides as though on butter down the road, the cruise control is a feature I use often. It adds to the enjoyment of the trip.

Volvos are reliable cars and have been chosen as the safest car on the road.
As of today I haven't had any problems with my current vehicle. Love how it drives. It speeds up quickly and have a smooth ride. The only negative about this car is that it takes premium gas which could get expensive if you drive a lot. The engine is powerful and I didn't have to replace anything in the car besides normal wear and tear like tires, brakes, and headlights once in a while.

Its a green Volvo and its shiny.
Turbo has leaked, that was bad. But overall it's a great car I'd say. It's a very large vehicle. Sits up to 9 people and the trunk is very large as well. Its semi automatic as well. Id buy another Volvo, I trust the car manufacturers. I do wish it wasn't a turbo engine though.

Engine failure.. Rude dealer
Bought this 2006 xc90 for a young single mom who just graduated from college and got her first job in her field. Thought it would be reliable for her til she could afford a newer vehicle. Replaced the timing set, front end parts, water pump and the oil pump in an effort to prevent costly future repairs for her. She drove it 3000 miles and the engine began running extremely rough. She could not even go over 45 mph. Took it to her local mechanic, he tried everything he could but could not get number 3 cylinder to fire. He thought it was an engine control module and recommended I take it to the Wexford pa Volvo dealer to do diagnostics to determine what might need repaired on the vehicle to eliminate the misfire. The people at the Volvo dealer told me they could not do a diagnostic until they replaced all the Non-Volvo parts. The cost for this plus the diagnostic would be $1300. I told them that I was not interested in dumping over $800 in partsplus labor into an engine that very well could have been terminal. They got very “stiff” with me after that. I had to talk them into Doing a compression check to determine if the engine was going to need a rebuild. They begrudgingly did this and informed me all the cylinders were low and #3 was completely dead. At this point I knew it would be $3000 to rebuild the engine on a car I had already dumped 6 grand into. It was not worth the rebuild. When I dropped the car off it did run, albeit on 4 cylinders, when I told them I was coming down to pick it up, they left the car disabled so I could not even drive it on to my trailer. I traveled 75 miles to pick it up only to have to make the trip again the next day to bring a winch to load the car. The service manager referred to my vehicle as “ my old car” when I met with him to pick it up, evidently it was an embarrassment to Bobby Rahal Volvo to have a 2006 XC90 on their lot. This obdurate attitude was not lost on me. I will make it my life’s goal to inform anyone I can to avoid these people and this dealer at all cost.

It is very safe and allows you to see more of the road than a compact.
A great car for travel, the additional row of seats is able to put down and you truly can fit just about anything. It could also be a good family car with all the extra seats without seeming like a "mom car"

Everything you want and need in a vehicle.
The xc90 has enough space to carry 7 people comfortably or carry a Christmas tree. It is very reliable and will last forever. Regular scheduled maintenance is all I ever have to do with it like oil changes tire rotation and fluid checks. It also comes with every element in a car you want.

Compare typical models. Make sure the mileage correct.
The Volvo is roomy, Quiet and smooth riding. The repair costs are too high. The gas mileage could be better.

It's expensive to repair. Take good care of it and the repairs will not run as high.
I like it because it is a safe and reliable vehicle. I do not like it because the repairs are very expensive.

The Volvo xc90 is very safe and durable. It is very spacious and comfortable.
I absolutely love my Volvo vc90. I feel really safe when I am driving down the road and it feels like a very strong, heavy duty car. There are some minor interior details that need fixing, but that comes with the car being 12 years old. Overall, I love this car and would recommend it to anyone!

The car is very safe and I always let other know.
I honestly I have no problems with my xc90. Its big, safe, comfortable, and nice. I always feel like I am riding in luxury with the heated leather seats, wood steering wheel, six disk CD player, automatic sunroof, and manual mode. The car is very reliable and has never had any problems or broken down on me.

Bad car
I have left reviews, that are true only to be removed from these review companies I think they just show what they want you to see. And maybe sometimes they will show a bad one every now and then to seem legit. But all in all their no better than the fake news.

Piece of c**p
Out of all the vehicles I have owned,and believe me I have owned a bunch. This one was the worst on every account. And when I took it to the Dealership in Bristol They charged me almost a thousand dollars and didn't fix it. And I had to take it to a local Mechanic and he told me that they didn't replace the parts that were on the receipt that they were factory old parts .And so he fixed the problem and charged me $347.00 and Now something else is going wrong with another part. This is a piece of junk do not buy. Buy anything but this car.

It is extremely reliable,it starts right up in frigid temperatures.
I like the gas mileage and the look. I don't like the cost of repairs and the design of the vehicle. My complaints are that the oil changes are too expensive and the leather seats don't hold stuff well.

Safety is the most important feature of any vehicle. Volvos are the safest on the market.
I feel safe in my vehicle. It saved our lives when someone ran into us going 50 mph. If we were in a smaller vehicle we probably wouldn't be here today or in critical condition.

Volvo SUV great overall car, safe for little ones
Great vehicle, safe and comfortable. Have noticed with age things tend to break often. Had issues with the instrument panel going berserk. Lights needing to be replaced often. Broken hydraulic on tailgate. But all is pretty standard wear and tear. Interior leather cracking.

A very reliable vehicle. Very low maintenance. Vehicles ride smooth. Cars last for a long time.
Volvo"s last for a long time. Mine is 12 years old and still runs great with no problems. The body has no rust and the seats which are leather have no rips or holes. If you keep up with the maintenance you Vovlo should last for over 20 years and can be passed on in your family or traded in.

The amazing car of my dreams is a Volvo xc90!
My Volvo xc90 is the car of my dreams. Although it is a 2006, and does not have all of the bells and whistles on newer cars it is always amazing to me. The ride is more of a glide, like sliding on butter. The car is built so well it makes you feel extremely secure should you be hit. It has a steel bar down the sides. It is roomy. Fold down seats are very easy to maneuver.

Volvo xc90 is great for busy families.
My xc90 is comfortable and stylish, but still great on gas. We camp, shop, and travel in it. Our large family fits easy, and the seats are so easy to move. The stereo and sunroof add to our live, but live g in Michigan, I would have to say that the heated seats are my favorite feature.

Volvo xc90 makes family feel safe. Until repair cost are required.
What I like about Volvo xc90 is very spacious with 3 rows of seats which also fold down, the power of v8 engine, reliability, very safe, and it does hold its value compared to some other makes and models. What I dislike is the expense associated with low miles/gallon and repairs/maintenance.

Excellent vehicle-but expensive.
Overall I absolutely love my xc90-it has been very reliable. It handles excellent in rain and snow. My only complaint is that repairs/replacements can be extremely expensive, even with it being an older model. The antifreeze alone is $30.00 per gallon.

Love the safety and how reliable it is, does not require a lot of work. Just had all belts and hoses changed. Dislike that it is older and has a lot of miles and is showing signs of age.

My first car and it is good to start off
My car is a 2006 Volvo xc90 and it is good to me it takes me to work, home and to other places. The mirror on the passenger side looks down and the air works when it feel like. But it runs good some parts still need changing but that comes with time because the parts are expensive.

Volvos are very safe cars and have been tested for many possible outcomes of accidents and they are rated high for safety
I enjoy the car because it is safe and reliable. I don't like that it takes premium gas but only because of the expense, but mileage is good.

A great vehicle all in all.
It is a good vehicle and it is satisfactory the speed is fast. I ts a 7 seater and a family vehicle making it a great vehicle if you have a large family can also be an off-road vehicle with 4 wheel drive.
