A pleasure to own. Purchased 7 years ago. Only major repair: alternator. Otherwise, it’s a breeze to own. Highly recommended.

The car is amazing safe and comfortable. It is a great car for myself and my children and use it for my daily commute.
I love the space and legroom in my current vehicle. I wish it had additional features such as digital temperature control and touchscreen functionality.

Computer Module issue affecting cruise control
Car is very comfortable, have had a problem with the computer module that affected cruise control , very expensive and problem still occurs occasionally

All around vehicle & great family vehicle.
I love my vehicle, it is safe, handles well, has the quality of luxury that I am accustomed to. Very all around especially for trips to home depot and many other shopping ventures and traveling. What more can I say it is durable and has stayed in very good condition considering the age of the vehicle.

The thing I enjoy the most is all the little details they put into the car.
The only thing I would complain about is the check engine light came on for my non skid being off. I found out I have to take it to the factory for them to download a program into my car. I feel that's excessive because it costs about $500-$700. The factory should have taken care of that themselves.

Exceptional safety, reliability, and satisfaction.
Volvo makes a very safe and reliable car. Count on getting high mileage and exceptional reliability out of your Volvo.

Volvo's are very good vehicles.
I like that my vehicle is a luxury car comfortable! I do not like that my vehicle can have minor issues at anytime.
accountCircle Danielle T
The comfort is great and of course the high safety rating!
I love my Volvo xc90. It has lots of room for 2 little ones and all of their endless gear! It is also very comfortable for long drives. The 7 passenger seating is very helpful as well! We recently went on a beach trip with 4 kids and 2 adults and still had room for all of the stuff we had to drag with us. My only complaint is it uses quite a bit of gas, but I imagine the newer models are more efficient in that manner. I cannot wait to someday have a new model. Mine currently has 135, 000 miles as of yesterday and is still going strong! If you were to get an xc90 you wouldn't be disappointed!

Trouble with it
Any ones 07 xc90 3.2awd have over 300,000 plus miles or is ours the only one.
accountCircle Terri Y
Just ok but leaves a lot to be desired.
It performs adequately but only gets 16 miles per-gallon. One of the other things I do not like about it, is the fact that it does not have pockets for me to put small objects other than the between seat compartment. The glove compartment is very tiny and holds next to nothing.
accountCircle Shalisha K
I like the sunroof because I can let out the hot air when I first turn on the AC. I dislike power seat because it takes forever if I need to slide all the way forward to accommodate someone's long legs behind me. I also hate that there's no dealership within 90 minutes of me, and the oil can't be changed at home; we MUST go to a shop.
You can't change your own oil; you have to take it in to a shop.

The truth about the pretty Volvo.
It is extremely expensive to fix, as it is a European car and has a lot of electrical problems. Currently we're having issues with the transmission because of the brakes. Every problem I've had has cost over a thousand dollars. The tires are also about 200 dollars each to replace. However it is comfortable and has all the bells and whistles. Heated seats, GPS, movie screens, AWD. Etc. My kids love this car because it is so comfortable.

It requires quite a bit of petrol to fill the tank
The sixth and seventh seats can only hold very small children. It is an uncomfortable ride for individuals that are taller

2007 Volvo xc90: exactly what you think.
Reliable, sturdy, rough around the Edges. It picks up grime, but it wears it well. It accumulates miles, but it does not sound any worse for the wear. The paint is chipping and rusting, but I do not imagine anyone driving a tan color of one of these beasts would much mind a little aesthetic dinks.

Safety locks, , air/side air bags, booster seat, third row seating, good trunk space.
Owned Volvo xc90 for 10 years (up until last two year) it has run smoothly. However, the main issue is that parts and maintenance can be very expensive (ex. Oil change went from $50 to $100). The last two years I have had to deal with engine, windshield, charger, radio issues plus parts of car seating are falling apart.

Very well made European SUV, great engine and safe. No complaints.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Danielle T.

This car is very roomy, safe and reliable with very few issues. I have owned this vehicle for almost 2 years and have put very little money into it even though it is 13 years old. Volvos are known for being incredibly safe as well as it has absolutely no rust on it even though we live in an area that uses salt on the roads.

likeFilled Shannon E.

It fits 7 but does not feel overly large. It has a built-in booster seat. I like the center consul in the very back. It has a ton of storage even with the third row up. I can usually fit my groceries in without having to collapse the seats. It is a very good family car for short or long trips.

likeFilled Bridgette H.

Volvos are known for being safe and reliable which is a huge deal. It is pretty nice too. It is in really good shape considering that it is around 13 years old. I absolutely love this car. I feel safe in it and I am not concerned that it is going to break down all the time.

likeFilled Leticia M.

Pros: safety, good gas mileage, spacious, comfortable. I bought this car used, with only 58,000 miles on it. I now have 100k miles and it is running beautifully. My next automobile will be a Volvo, for the safety features are top priority for me.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Danielle T.

I wish the trunk space was bigger with the 3rd row up. It is nice to have the 3rd row but also difficult to get to if you have car seats in the second row. Two car seats cannot fit comfortably in the second row without having to squeeze one of them into the middle seat.

dislikeFilled Shannon E.

It does not have heated seats. There is a section that seems to break in all of them at the bottom left of the driver's seat. The sunroof does not work well. But those are all just issues that come with age. The ceiling could be a little higher.

dislikeFilled Bridgette H.

Parts for Volvo tend to be more expensive than parts for some other cars unfortunately. However, they need repairs less often than a lot of other cars. Also, the parts can be more expensive than parts for other cars sadly.

dislikeFilled Leticia M.

In my particular vehicle, the console detaches to provide my rear passengers extra leg room. Due to years of it detaching and being reattached, the pieces that join the console to the rest of the unit have broken. Apparently, this is a problem with 2017 xc90's.

Yes it's very reliable. An average gas mileage and consumption rate. The ride is smooth and easy to maneuver in hazardous conditions.

This vehicle rides smooth and looks sleek. Regular routine maintenance keeps it tip top shape. I would definitely buy another Volvo.

The Volvo is a very reliable and safe car. It has been my daily driver for a year and I have never had a problem with it. Would highly recommend to anyone that is wants a safe car.
Roxie N.
I think it is a reliable vehicle..I bought used and still running after 4 yrs at 137000 I bought at 70000. New tires brakes and oil changes are all needed to run.

How Reliable Is The 2007 Volvo XC90?

The only problem I have noticed is the a/c and heat will not work sometimes, could be the wiring in the engine. The radio takes a while to pickup certain FM stations.
Endia T.
I bought this car used from a wholesale dealer as is. I fixed all the problems and it has been an investment well spent. It has been beyond reliable with routine maintenance and performs as if new.
denise c.
The only issue I have ever had with my Volvo xc90 was my power steering pump went out. Other than that no mechanical issues.
Roxie N.
It only acts up when not maintained properly..Loud heating unit but that is all..Rides sluggish when low oil..Good gas mileage and roomy.
Latoya S.

Is The 2007 Volvo XC90 A Good Value?

$4,000-8,000 and yes I guess it's a good value. However the value does go down a lot via every 20k miles.
Endia T.
I purchased this vehicle as is from a wholesale lot for $5600. The blue book value on it was higher needless to say I got a steal of a deal and a reliable luxury car.
denise c.
Used, I paid about $7,500. That price is decent for a 13 year old car. Considering the mikes and condition.
Roxie N.
It was 11000. I think it is a good value for the money it will run forever with proper care. Very safe roomy with a classy look I love my Volvo.
