Bought new when they were launched. A number of teething problems that were dealt with under warranty. The gearbox reverse is intermittent and needs to be replaced (£4000.00) the steering rack is shot (£1000.00) amongst a number of other things. The car has not been off road or abused (7 year old and under 60,000 miles) all very disappointing for what we thought was a premuim brand. Will not buy another.

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!
