"Brilliant but Flawed"
Pros: safety, safety, and safety. Can seat three across the middle, and two in back. Add a rooftop luggage box and you've the capacity of a Suburban (nearly). Comfortable, quiet, and SAFE
Cons: Perpetual CHECK ENGINE light, Radio, much lauded by CNet, is actually very slow, clunky, and hard to use. Turning radius is huge, so parrallell parking is a pain, door lock system is clunky and slow.
Summary: Get ready to see your CHECK ENGINE light flash at you every day! Why must the XC90 require so much unscheduled maintenance? Too, maybe this vehicle is just too safe, or Volvo is so paranoid about safety that they've designed something super safe but painfully awkward and often frustrating. Anyway, many things (radio, turning radius, rear visability, perpetual "CHECK ENGINE" light) make this otherwise great vehicle a pain to own and use.

I just bought my 2008 Volvo XC90 about a month ago and I couldn't be happier. Some of the things I thought we missing or odd, I have either discovered or gottne used to. I have yet to see the engine light come on, I think that the stereo system sounds great (although I admit it could use some updating), and I think the ride is fantastic. If you are that unhappy with yours, then you should either find a better repair shop or someone to sell it to.
