i have a 2010 xc90 that the wife drives and she loves it .practical safe driving and returns about 30 to the gallon.i cant ever see me getting her to move into something else.
they are prone to wheel bearing failure and tyre wear can be a issue [like most 4x4]
but it tackles all road condtions including comfortable motorway driving withe ease.
also worth coinsidering the xc70
i do love my volvos lol
