2003 VOLVO XC90 reviews

VOLVO XC90 reviews by year of make:   2003  2004  2006  2007  2009  Read all reviews

The Volvo XC90 has been designed with style as well as practicability in mind. The elegant lines of the exterior are matched only by the brilliantly flexible interior. With a choice of petrol or diesel engine, you will quickly realise just how dynamic this car is. Celebrate yourself with a Volvo XC90.

3 star review

We have a love/hate relationship with our XC90. We love the build, reasonable fuel consumption, comfort and space. We have, however, been plagued with problems. The first and most serious was a complete engine and gear box melt down whilst driving in France. We were flabbergasted that a car of this calibre and cost should suffer such fundamental failure at 51,000 miles and less than 4 years old (just outside warranty - arghhh!) We have also recently had suspension bushes replaced and the drive shaft imploded last week at 60,000 miles! Is this normal? Volvo tell me ’well it is quite an old car’ Well our Audi is even older at 11 years and we have never (touch wood) experienced such major failures. Perhaps we are foolish but we do intend to buy a new XC90, we are hoping that we are just very unlucky and bought a ’Friday’ car. We have looked at alternatives and feel that there is nothing else out there that offers the same space and style. We have 3 young children and 2 dogs so appreciate the large boot and 7 seats. We will however ensure we sell before the warranty expires!
