Volvo XC90 Executive 2011

5 star review

Very happy with our XC90. We bought it in Dec 2011, a Christmas present for the family. Good deal from Harratts Volvo, with a 3 year 56,000 mile service plan for £300 all in. Zero % finance on the deal and a substantial discount from new, so I can’t complain. It also has fitted side steps, flaps, detachable towbar and front parking sensors to complete the package. Five months in and 10,000 miles under the belt I have no complaints. It averaged 33+ MPG from new, and has just achieved 500 miles on a tank. The car has proven to be everything it promised - a safe versatile family bus, load carrier, everyday luxury motorway cruiser and excellent family holiday transport. This has to be the most comfortable car I have ever owned. My previuos vehicles have always been executive buses, BMW’s, Mercs, Jags, etc. This is my first Volvo and my first 4x4. It won’t be my last. Happy Hudson’s.

My only gripe with this car is that it is so comfy to drive over a long distance that you do exactly that and then have to refill it which is expensive. Having said that careful use gets 32 ish mpg. There is plenty of room inside and it is a perfect family car for all uses. Recommended!!

Volvo XC90 R design 2011

1 star review

I’m really very worried that we have made a huge mistake buying an XC90. We got what we thought to be a great deal and a nearly new car, and we loved it to start with, but then noticed just how low the mpg is. On a rim to rim fill the car is averaging 24mpg!! the computer shows 28mpg so I don’t believe those in car computers. I took it to a dealer last week to see about trading in or selling and buying something more economical and was offered £8,500 less than I paid 2 months earlier. Thinking this was just a dealer trying to rip me off I went to a friend in the trade who looked it up on a national traders website and it showed that was the going rate. He also showed me 2010 models for sale at £19750 trade that are priced at £29000 on the forecourt. Do yourself a favour and buy something else, diesel is set to rise again in January so wipe another couple of thousand off the cars value. I can not believe that I fell for the sales and image trap, which is short lived when you realise what a mistake you have made.

Like other owners I have found this car just too expensive to run. Volvo service costs are a joke and the mid 20’s mpg is just daft at £6.00 a gallon. There are lots of other cars out there that perform just as well and when this car is updated or fazed out then the depreciation will really hit. Buy one if you want but just see how much it will really cost you each year, you will be gutted especially when you try to sell it. Don’t believe the secondhand prices you see, they never sell for that amount, dealers try to keep them falsely high. This car is an old designed car and was probably great 10 years ago. RIP
