Living with it
Reliability
All Volvo's are brilliant built, on par with Audi, better than Merc and knock BMW into a hat.
Image
Image is not the greatest, although this particular model is extremely sort after, post-awards, so image of the XC90 is as good as a X5 and better than most other SUV's.
Comfort
All the seat including the 3rd row are all very comfortable, leg room is generous and the bolsters are very supportive, adjustment is better on this car than any other I have ever owned.
