Volvo V90 Customer Reviews

Pros

• Reliability

  I feel incredibly safe and secure driving this vehicle

• Power

  The take off on is this vehicle is amazing

• Braking

  The brake pedal is extremely solid and sensitive with ease to brake on and off

Cons

• Cost to Maintain

  Due to this being a luxury vehicle, it does come with a higher price to maintain

• Dashboard

  I am not used to high tech dashboards; I am sure with time, I will feel comfortable with the bells and whistles located on the dashboard

• Fuel Economy

  Approximately $70.00 to fill up the tank with premium unleaded. A bit high compared to my previous vehicle

Pros

• Ride and Handling

  runs well in many varied situations

• Cargo Space

  suits our lifestyle

Cons

• Technology and Entertainment

  Overly complex radio, entertainment system

Pros

• Ride and Handling

  The vehicle rides wonderfully, one interesting find is the rear utilizes a composite transverse mounted leaf spring, the front is a double wishbone design. (Rear air ride is an option but mine does not have) The ride height/ground clearance is very good and rivals SUVs.

• Weather Versatility

  Many options are included making cold days easier. Heated side mirrors, heated steering wheel, heated front seats, heated wiper washers and heated windscreen as well as a very well functioning dual zone climate system that works very quickly. Heated second row outer seats are available which mine does not have but it does possess all of the above.

• Cabin Noise

  Cabin noise is almost nonexistent. There is a note of the T6 that can be heard when really getting into it. Personally I like it, as you can hear it grabbing each gear. Of course when the Bowers and Wilkins sound system is bumping it is the only thing you will hear. Awesome sound system.

Cons

• Braking

  As I mentioned before the brakes are great and grippy. However while coming to a stop it is hard to apply the brakes correctly as it will either stop abruptly or while trying to compensate for this by lifting off the brakes slightly the car continues to roll and then stops abruptly when you apply more braking to try to come to a smooth stop.

• Reliability

  While I haven't had any bad experiences with this V90, one potential problem/flaw in any 2017+ Volvo especially with a panoramic roof is the seal around the rear half of the panoramic glass will shrink allowing debris to enter the roof channels clogging the roof drains and causing water to spill from the channels to the A Pillar covers, around the second row seatbelts/ B Pillar area, around the battery area as well as water accumulating on or under the floor mats and or carpet. The roof drains are not very large to begin with. It is vital to keep this system working properly and clean because water damage may occur to the interior, eletronics, as well as musty odors, mold, and mildew.

• Cost to Maintain

  I thought it may be worth mentioning a couple things. First, there is no dipstick to check the oil. There is a status to check the oil through the center display. Second, bear in mind this car does have a timing belt that needs to be serviced/replaced every 60,000 miles. Not to be confused with the accessory belt (serpentine belt).

Pros

• Safety

• Ride and Handling

• Interior Space

Cons
