Perfect car for a growing family
This is the daily driver for the family and school run. I have owned a number of Volvo's from uni (s40, V60, etc) and just kept coming back to the XC90 once we needed 6 seats. I drove GLS and X7 and Q7 and the overall experience of the Volvo was just better. Great smooth ride and engine. Beautiful minimalistic Swedish design and interior layout - no pretence, because its a Volvo - we just love it and can't fault it.
Purchased in December 2021 for A$68,990.00.

Faults timed to perfection
My 2016 Xc90 T6 has started to electronically malfunction within weeks of the warranty expiring. First the was the fuel system. The second the HUD. All through the warranty period there have been major issues but after 3 years theyre coming thick and fast.
I love the ride and interior but its become clear that the build quality isn't up to standard.
I doubt that I will buy Volvo again.
Purchased in March 2021 for A$100,000.00.

Volvo Australia
My Volvo is full option XC90 which in my mind is the best car for my family. I got very upset with Volvo Australia when we realized we didn't have the Sim card Modem. I wasted my precious time reviewing how to activate my car internet, watching you tube videos and even driving to my local Volvo dealer-the poor sales agent struggled to find a port that does not exist.
I rang Volvo Sydney office only to be told, that option is not available in Australian Volvo cars. No one had the decency of telling customers at purchase. Very very disappointed. I feel cheated.
Purchased in January 2021.

Constantly at the dealership for repairs
1) Blown supercharger at ~25k km
2) Failed front suspension at ~75k km (card would suddenly veer left or right, so I'd appear to fishtail up a road)
3) Persistant low oil warning light - have taken the car 4 times to the dealer where they have drained the oil from the car, weighed it and sent the data to Volvo (?Australia or Sweden). Now apparently the sourec of the leak is from cracked pistons (which need replacing!!)
Whilst this is "all under warranty" it is extremely disruptive as I have to ta...Read more
ke time off work to take the car in whenever there is a problem (approximately every month). Also, I would not expect this of a 3 year old $130k (supposedely well built) car. What's worse is that I had words with the dealer principal about the sorry state of affairs and he was completely rude and dismissive stating "....well all cars have some problems from about this age"....or its ".....due to driving style".....or "....the car is swerving because of a wheel balance/alignment problem. You probably hit a curb thats why its doing it" Never, never again........Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Many software bugs with bad childlock design
1. Bad Designs
a) Can’t control the child lock of rear door separately: When I want to release the child lock for my wife to get off the car, my baby often open the door. This may cause serious traffic incident.
b) The map the navigation system is much worse than the google map.
2. Reproducible Problems
a) When I set the language to Chinese, it still speak English in navigation.
b) I have 2 wifi spot at home, both are WPA2/AES. The car can connect to one of them but can’t connect to the other one.
c) When the Auto-Hold is set, it will often be braked automatically when I am parking.
d) I can never drive the car by using only electricity over 30km, even if I drive it on highway.

VOLVO VOLVO VOLVO, ITS A RICH MANS WORLD
Arhhhhh arhhhhh, all the things we could do, in our Volvo Volvo Volvo, its a rich mans world.
Well, that's what ABBA may have sung if they had the XC90 around in the mid 70's.
It was time to update the Merc 350ML and we decided on an XC90.
There's something I cant explain about driving a Volvo but its almost as though the car wants to do its best for you in all conditions and the feel of the wheels and stability is second to none.
You may as well buy one as you wont find anything better and since ABBA, Ikea, SAAB Aeroplanes and 6' blondes come from Sweden, it gives you a great excuse to go pay them all a visit and not necessarily in that order.

amazing vehicle
Recently purchased for growing family. The seats are phenomenally comfortable and the interior quality is second to none. The 4-cylinder engine is surprisingly responsive and it doesn't feel underpowered at all. In addition very little road noise. Perhaps the ideal family SUV with 7 seats. The sensus screen takes a little time to get used to but after a short time it becomes easy to use and is preferably to a multitude of buttons all over the cabin.

Cheap, cheap, cheap... but not the price
I spent a lot of money on this vehicle, so I'm pretty irritated at the single USB point - really, Volvo, was it asking too much for the rear passengers to have power???
And I am VERY upset that the upgrade to the Mac app costs $700 when I was told by Purnell that it was part of the first service.
Sure, it is. For $700.
That is just unacceptable. I'm guessing everyone at Volvo uses an iPhone and a Mac? Archaic. They build the motor, very nicely, they forget that people actually use the machine for more than just driving about.
And finally ... a space saver spare. You've gotta be kidding. We are driving for thousands of miles and we get a flat. We drive out of it on a space saver?
Point 1 cheap, point 2, cheap, point 3, cheap.

XC90 T6 Inscription - Well appointed quality Excellent Performer
Very comfortable classy car with good leg room even in the 3rd row. Excellent performance from small sized engine.
Handles well on open roads with more than enough power to overtake quickly and safely. Fuel efficiency is good. The interior and technology is right up there. Highway headlights are amazing for providing the best vision in any night driving situation. Compares favourably with all the top named competitors and in many cases it rates better. A good range of driver package options available. Air Bag Suspension gives a luxurious ride. Many observers remark on the beautiful body design. Have now traded into latest model - '18MY.

XC90 2016 T6 Inscription - Great car
Lovely car to drive and ride in. Plenty of space for family trips. Diver support pack is fantastic after driving a car with standard cruise control. Twin charged engine has plenty of power.
Much better value than X5 or Merc 7 seater and a nicer design and not a run flat tyre in sight!

Questions & Answers
Nazasked
Can I take my 2018 Volvo XC90 on the soft sand four wheel driving?
1 answer
Just remember the car is an AWD, not a 4WD. We have taken our XC90 on soft sand and had to reduce the tyre pressure considerably. As with all off-roading, every situation is unique and careful consideration is required. Don't forget, if you get bogged, do you have road side service that covers this and look about........are there any other off-roaders around that may assist you. And if you do reduce tyre pressure, do you have an electric/battery pump to reinflate your tyres. Good luck
