Re: Anyone own a Volvo XC90? - kj - 04-18-2009 The new volvo c30 sure is a neat little car, with the p1800es glass hatchback deal. I don't know why volvos have the image they do (liberal cars, esp. the 240 series), but they've made some interesting cars over the years, so I can see being a fan. They've made some fast cars too. My in-laws have a S60R, and it's pretty quick. They also have a xc90 (t5, I believe), and they like it. They're scandihoovian, so they're a little biased in favor of saabs and volvos. kj.

Also, what is your MPG like? Re: Anyone own a Volvo XC90? - Bo - 04-19-2009 davester wrote: Lust might be a little strong, but we do seem to come back to Volvos. I'm guessing it's more of a familiarity thing. I learned to drive in a girlfriend's 240, first car I owned was an 850T and now enjoy a drop top C70. I can certainly see why some wouldn't care for them. jdc, What didn't you like about the Highlander? (It's the only one of the group we haven't driven). Neither of us cared much for the Pilot so it's off the list. The MDX was nice but the dealer was horrible which may have tainted the experience a bit. It also reminded us a lot of the Lexus RX300 we had...a fine competent car but sort of bleh. The RX was also severely underpowered which is one of my concerns with the XC90 but it sounds like it was adequate for you. Thanks for the insight -Bo |
