Volvo XC90 2006Change

Overall a good vehicle,. The gas mileage could be a bit better, but having the V8 engine makes it so. The rear seats can be a bit of a challenge to fold down, and there is a large gap between the two middle seats when folded down. If you have dogs I would recommend shoving a blanket or pillow in the gap, so they don't get their legs stuck. Good value.

Fantastic Family Car! Excellent for Family Vacations and Road Trips. Perfect Vehicle if travelling with family to sporting events. Lots of room for everyone and DVD Video System is fantastic for children. Wireless Headsets make the trip enjoyable to everyone!
Great Vehicle to head up to the mountains to go skiing!
We have travelled extensively with our 4 Children throughout Western Canada. Thule on the top makes this vehicle even better for travelling.
Smooth Handling & Ride! All Wheel Drive System and Winter Driving Package make this vehicle great in all kinds of winter driving conditions.
Can't say enough good things about this vehicle!
Also has been used on numerous Golf Trips with the Boys! Lots of room for 4 Adults, Golf Clubs & luggage!

No major repairs have been required in my 4 year ownership from Jul 2009 - Jun 2013. Extremely reliable. Excellent fuel economy from the 2.5L engine. Ample power from the turbocharged engine makes highway passing a breeze.

very reliable and very cimfortables...best suv ever... next one will be a volvo for sure...harsh winters are no problem for this suv.

When the car was new, it was remarkable! Excellent power, great service. A rock solid vehicle!

Unfortunately Volvos (including this particular trim), do not age well. Problems creep up fast and they are not cheap to repair. Too much technology for my liking - a failing power window is a result of 'the computer had to be calibrated'. Followed by a $400 bill.

Stay away from the 3.2 lines as they are notorious for their transmission issue. A powerful engine with a less than desirable shifter. A design flaw indeed.

Volvo parts are not cheap. Plus my biggest pet peeve is the way that these parts are shipped. For example, you must purchase the entire exhaust assembly to replace a rusted out clamp!

If you can find folks that can "properly" repair a Volvo, you are in luck. Otherwise it is the dealer for you!

At one point, the life span of a Volvo could easily be longer than 20 years. Unfortunately this is not the case. Give this car some thought before getting into it. A rock solid vehicle - no doubt about it. But you are paying premuim $$ for the name. A name that no longer represents what it used. There are many other cars out there that are just as safe with less than half the sticker price of a Volvo.

Yes a Volvo is safe - but could this be because it spends most of its life hoisted in a shop instead of it being on the road ? ;)
