Elegant, reliable, and smooth.
This is the best car I have owned. It is great in the highway, it had a big engine so you defined feel the difference from going from a small car to this SUV but the suspension, brakes, you cannot feel the change in gear at all.. Will never purchase another make/model.

Good brand vehicle overall.
I purchase my Volvo xc90 in 2010 so far I had no major issues other than changing the shocks, tires, and brakes. Aside from that nothing has gone wrong with my vehicle, I always do the routine maintenance to make sure is running properly. I have. I major complains so far.

The vehicle has classic styling. The split tailgate is a very handy detail.
The comfort and reliability of the car has been excellent. It has enough space for a family of five people. The style of the vehicle is not dated after ten years. The performance is good but not outstanding. The vehicle performs well in snowy and wet conditions.

It is expensive to refill with gas.
It drives very smoothly and is the perfect size. Mine is a silver with black leather interior and it is very durable. There are no problems other than the breaks are extremely squeaky at times, but that can be fixed. It is very reliable considering we bought it used and it is still in great condition. Pricey to fill up.

Stunning Volvo xc90 with safety features that will lower your car insurance.
I Haven't had any problems. It is good on gas as long as you keep your oil changed and I prefer to use the high test gas. I feel safe in this car and it is very comfortable. I love the blind spot sensors on my mirrors and I also have back up sensors. This is my second xc90 and I'll probably upgrade to a newer version eventually.

It's an efficient and economical car
It's large enough for my whole family and the dog. It's economical. It's safe

That it drives great. That it is smooth and fast.
I love the drive, the pickup, the space in the back. I love that we can fit a lot in it. I love that I can pull the front console out so that my dog can stand there

The sound system works well because audio can be controlled for the rear seats.
Volvo has a great audio system and steering is comfortable. The seating is ample. I enjoy the cars versatility I can use in rough roads with a higher clearance and it's just as well with city driving. My front lights cover turned yellow after a few years and were replaced. Also, it's not that great on fuel. Overall I love the car it's comfortable, nice looking and a very safe ride.

We refer to it as the 'mom car' -- but it is still luxurious and adventurous.
We really do love this car, but right now we're afraid we're dealing with some belt/alternator issues and minor electrical car. We're grateful we bought the warranty we did. Otherwise, it handles great, is very comfortable, seems durable and goes off-road easily.
