Volvo XC90 2009Change

I am sad to say that my Volvo encountered a moose & was a total loss however no one was injured to which I am very thankful. In my opinion this is one of the safest vehicles on the road and looking at the aftermath of the accident I am not sure another vehicle would have had the same results.

Everything about this vehicle screams luxury, interior, smooth ride, all the bells & whistles that are standard equipment. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone who enjoys driving as this is the ultimate experience.

I have replaced my Volvo with the same but newer model & look forward to many years of happy driving.

I trade my 1st xc90 2006 2,5t to xc90 V8 ,I knew its Yamaha engine too, I droved this car from Calgary to palmdale, California to visit my dad and my brother, yeah ,,its fun to drive my 2009 R design V8 ,no problem with this SUV I love it very much...

This is my 5th Volvo, 1st two were station wagons. Went to the xc90 as my family grew. Our 1st xc90 had to be traded in due to starting issues after approx. 1 year of use. In 2008 Xc90 #2 caught fire in the rear battery and destroyed the car. Volvo replaced the car for half price with new 2009. Xc90 #3 has had endless issues; 5 batteries due to issues that were alternator related, squealing rear left brakes 3 months after receiving car never been corrected properly, hatch repaired so many times lost count, alarm system going off constantly. Now the bonnet latch is problematic. This year alone spent over $ 4000 on repairs. The second these cars are no longer under warranty your in trouble. Volvo head office refused to help with the issues even thou the problems started 3 months after getting the car and continue to this day. Constantly in and out of the shop.
To all who want to buy a Volvo please read up on the issues with these cars before purchasing. The issues are numerous and the fixes are ridiculously pricey. It's all over the net. This not the same car Volvo use to build when I was a child. Back then they were exceptionally good quality. Volvo has lost focus on the needs of their customers and quality control.

This is the second Volvo XC90 I have owned and i have no complaints. Its a great, safe family hauler ... that happens to haul ***. The V8 engine has 311 horsepower providing excellent passing power needed for those weekend trips along two lane highways. Avergae fuel consumption (City & Hwy) since we have owned is approximately 11 L per 100 km. Although the exterior is starting to get a little outdated, the interior is very roomy & comfortable. We have the seven seater which comes in handy when you need the extra seats. Overall, i'm very happy with my XC90 R design.
