We have two of them - His and Hers

Both vehicles have been great. Oh, there were the little "gremlins" initially -mostly related to needing software downloads.

Ride, Comfort, gas mileage have been very fine. Mine is the 3 seater and we have the built in DVD for the Grandkids - they love it. One comment we hear ALL THE TIME is the number of cup holders there are!

The XC90 is easy to drive. The controls are easy to read and reach. The on-board computer is easy to program. We have the Winter package in each which includes the heated seats - which, while not being used all the time, have been a welcome addition on occassion - I highly recommend them.

If there is one drawback - and it's just us - is that the XC90 can only tow some 5,000 lbs. In our case, we needed something that would tow more so we recently got a Ford Expedition which works. But, we love the XC90s'

Not worried about the towing (have 1 ton Ford for that) The wife has always liked Volvo products so thinking about upgradeing from the Town and Country . Do you have the V8 ot the inline 6??

I had an XC90 T6 in a four wheel drift at a Volvo driving event for dealership personel. They said shenannigans couldn't be done, the car's awesome AWD system would keep you in line... The instructor was a bit peeved about it. (all of the instructors were either real driving instructors or SCCA pro drivers. However one of the other instructors liked me and they ultimately gave me the best driver award for the day (not hard to win, I suppose, amongst a field of Volvo salesmen lol). Still have the trophy.
