I actually own 3 Volvo XC90's from throughout that first generation, one from the early years (2003-2006), one from the mid years (2007-2012), and one from the final years (2013-2014). Also, one is the v8 and 2 are the 3.2 i6. Reliability is hit or miss, the cars for the most part wont leave you stranded, unlike some brands (hmm Jaguar), but the XC90's consistently rattle and make weird noises. Lights go on and off on the dash all the time. They all ride smooth, but the 2013-2014 final version of the gen 1 XC90 (I have a 2014) is far quieter and smoother than the other 2. Volvo finally figured out how to tune the 6 speed transmission with the 2013 refresh, as well as made the car ride smoother and quieter. Overall, we have to view these cars for what they are, not as prestigious as a Mercedes or Porsche, not as reliable as a Toyota or Honda, but way safer than any other brand. That's why Volvo people keep buying them. I never regret purchasing our three, because knowing you're in the safest production car is a feeling like no other. Obviously no car is injury or fatality proof, but these XC90's are the best on the market. Hope this helps clarify things for anyone looking to justify purchasing an XC90.
We have one. Love it. I think you hit some key points, but also missed some of the most attractive things about this car, and it probably has more to do with where you are coming from and your perspective than anything. You are spot on about the driving feel, the heavy feel, how it gets better when you get moving (vs. parking lot), the wear on the leather (not as good as the Germans or Japanes IMO), the creaky plastics, and more. Also, you hit the nail on the head that the 3.2 is the best engine (used buyers will want to know also that the 3.2 has a timing chain, not belt). A few really attractive things that you missed or skipped over: 1) The third row. It is super easy to open and close, no lost head rests as they're attached, and it's easy to get in and out of for SUVs of this class. Third row is tight but usable for healthy, average sized adults, but best for kids -- and that's who/what it is needed for. 2) The safety cell of the body structure includes the third row (protects the occupants), and the luggage area behind it is a crumple zone -- not true of a lot of SUVs and other vehicles with third rows. 3) Middle row has more leg room than that -- I don't think you had the seats back all the way. I'm 6'3" and fit fine, as good as any SUV. 4) Rear portion of center console is removable to give more leg room for second row center passenger, or if it a child, move him/her closer. 5) The second row center seat has a built in booster seat - extremely handy. Remember, these vehicles were aimed at families -- and they are a home run in that regard. 6) The split rear tailgate is great for keeping things from falling out when you open the hatch, and for sitting on the tail gate. There is also a flip-up "wall" at the rear of the luggage area to hold your groceries from sliding forward/all over the place. The car you tested had all of these great features (including the third row) covered up with those rubber cargo mats. 7) The styling - when new, while taut and athletic, it was more functional than anything else; by the same hand, it aged gracefully. A lot better than the Japanese SUVs that just look plain old when they get old. Purposeful styling always looks good. 8) RUST RESISTANCE -- this is huge. These are some of the most rust resistant cars ever built, period. Not really relevant where you are in the Carolinas, but in New England, Great Lakes, Midwest, and other parts of the "rust belt", these Volvos still look great and will look great for years and years. Ours has seen thirteen Massachusetts winters, and the underbody and suspension are cleaner than a three-year-old Japanese or American SUV. 9) Not only is the steel well protected by galvanization and coatings, but the plastic cladding along the lower body is very thorough and protective -- not just a cheap cover up -- to help protect against rust (from road rash + salt spray). In conjunction with that, the curves of the body are carefully designed so that the painted steel parts of the lower body are shielded from road rash; these things hide their miles well because the paint doesn't take a beating. Smartly designed, like a lot of Mercedes used to be decades ago. 10) It is worth mentioning that this first generation XC90 continued to earn the rating of "Top Safety Pick" by the IIHS even ten years into production, faring better than many new vehicles. Of special note is that this vehicle's design predates the small overlap frontal crash test, yet the (then) ten year old design earned a high rating, above its competitors. 11) You were right that the 3.2 is the best engine choice; the transmission that is coupled to it deserves a mention here, too. It is built by Aisin, a Japanese company in the Toyota family, and was/is used in a variety of vehicles and has the reputation for longevity that one would expect from a company with ties to Toyota. It seemed you were reviewing the vehicle from the standpoint of someone who is into new luxury vehicles, and who is into vehicles more for personal use. When coming from the perspective of someone looking for a vehicle for their family, this Volvo is just incredible. It's combination of safety and practicality/versatility is just unbeatable. All that for only $7000! And while it may not be flashy, its styling is "steadfast," and that is something that some people are seeking in a family vehicle, or in the stage of life they are in -- again, a win. And it's a Volvo -- Volvos have a decades-long reputation of being vehicles that smart people keep for a long time, for hundreds of thousands of miles; unlike some makes, having an old Volvo is not a bad thing for most people's image. For a used vehicle for a family, it's an all around winner. I don't know of a better value, or a safer vehicle at even double the price point. Great review, I enjoyed it very much, and thanks for reading my comment!
Yea it certainly drove great for the price. If you buy it right and potentially get a warranty, this may serve someone well. Thanks again my friend for stopping by
The comfort of the seats are a big win for most volvo owners - much more comfrtable than other brands. They're solid and great on the highway also - esp the xc70 or S80.
Hi, a year later, but have you compared the seats in the XC70 vs the XC90? I've read about the XC70's legendary seats, but not much about the XC90's. Thank you.
My mom has had hers since 2007 and its the V8. The transmission filed at 80k and the engine has a lot of oil leaks but i have to say the exterior has aged really well. It does not look as old as many other early 2000s vehicles like the honda CRV or the buick version of the aztec
NO FREAKIN WAY!!! You won't believe me! I was JUST looking over this exact same Volvo on CarGurus and next thing I come to UA-cam to get "edumakated" on it and watch this video of THAT EXACT SAME CAR!!! ahahahahahah how freakin' cool is that!! Also bc i'm in Charlotte area and by this I just discovered your channel. Let's meet up! Great video btw.!!
Whoa now that's what I call a small world that is epic. That's always the coolest thing when viewers close by come across the vids thanks so much for watching and Im sure our paths will cross my friend. Man that is awesome
Good review of the 2011 Volvo XC90...I have a 2011 V8 and it is a beast !!!!!....We get 24/25 MPG on the highway with unbelievable power...The V8's are hard to find though but definitely worth getting if you come across one.👍
Thanks, Chris! It's great to know your take on the V8 model as it's rarely covered in reviews. I'm looking to purchase an 09' R-design V8. Has yours been reliable in the time of ownership?
We have owned a couple. Expensive to maintain after 120K...well-fitting parts are costly. By 150-175K it really needs engine mounts, a full suspension refresh, axles, angle gear service, front driveshaft, struts, etc etc. Probably looking at 3K+. V8's will need valve cover and/or timing cover seal service for another 2-3K. Sensors become expensive to replace. If you can set aside 2-3K a year in maintenance it's a great car to own outright...very comfortable, very safe and the engines LAST.
Great for wintertime. Swedish cars don't care about cold. Mine always starts. I live in Iowa. Winter is no laughing matter. Beware the radio dying. Very complicated affair. I use a small blue tooth speaker and "rock out" to NPR. Great 17 year old car with 150k+ miles. Comfy, nice ride for lousy road conditions. Tough. got rear ended at a stop light. I got a dent in the bumper the size of a stick match, the other person lost miserably and ended up a pile of plastic and glass ( late model Impala).
Ooo I love a Volvo review, Volvos honestly look really distictive and it's probably why I really like them especially the recent ones so I appreciate this review a lot I certainly wasn't expecting it, maybe you'll review the XC90 Exellence??
Thank you so much for making this video. Having a hard time deciding weather or not to buy one that has 150k miles and a V8. I just want something really reliable
Did you get a v8 XC90?! I have one, I bought mine 2.5 years ago and have put 39,000 klm on it which is 24,375 miles and all it’s needed is a fuel rail sensor and front shocks. The V8 is also the most efficient of all the V8s in its SUV class, while also being powerful, 315hp, 440nm gets this 2.1 ton suv to 60mph in 7.3 sec! He also forgot the nivomat rear shocks, self leveling so no matter what weight you have in there or trailer load, it’s always level when driving for safe handling.
Great review Kevin . I had 3 Volvo’s over past 15 years .. my first was a 1990 240 Wagon which ultimately had too many electrical problems. Next was a 1994 850 Turbo wagon (5 cylinder) ... this one also had an electrical problem, if i hit a major bump or expansion joint at high speed the car would lose power ! 2 times that happened to me, one was in a snow storm and the other was on the NJ turnpike doing about 65-70 mph ! That was the scariest shit ever. Had to pull over into the shoulder. My last was a 2006 S60R 6 speed manual 300 hp, bought it in 2008 with nearly 30k miles. That car was amazing.... too heavy with 4WD but a blast to drive...
Exhaust Sports Auto yes that S60R turbo was awesome. Black exterior w. Saddle leather interior. 300 hp. But about 4000 pounds. Solid but kinda too heavy
Exhaust Sports Auto thanks 🙏. My ES350 is awesome 👏. got back from a 2 day trip to Atlantic City NJ a few days ago with my GF. So smooth on the open highway. First long trip since I got it in April 2019. Not one issue. 37k miles now Barely broken in !
Man I like this generation Volvo and the new xc90s. This older gen is boxy and kind of distinctive and classy looking. But I always liked boxy SUVs like old land rovers. That old safari look. Not a popular theme nowadays but I dig this. I always heard they were money pits though. I’ll have to do more research.
volvos are nice cars especially the high end ones , its a a nice past of iconic vans and engines and they defently pioneered alot of todays safety technology and i respect that
"Boxy looking"??? I don't know what suv you're referring to, but the first gen XC90 was anything but boxy lol I think of a Honda Element or a Scion XB as a box on wheels. 😜
We’ve had our 13 for 11 years and 100k miles. Mechanically it is awesome. Unfortunately, we have gone through four blower motors. I can fix it now by myself but it’s a $1500 job. Also, the real wood trim has started to disintegrate. It’s a well-known fact in this community that because the car is so heavy you’re going to peel through tires. We are on our fifth set. Otherwise, this thing is going to be with us for another few years, and it will be worthless, but it will have got us through three children
Hi, brother, does the old Volvo XC90 a very good fixed car, or most of this kind of Volvo will work well not often offline work? I am going to buy on 2013 Volvo XC90(144,411 KM) that can be trust drive to Banff and back to Toronto. Does this a good choice for the family also? How about your opinion?
Not a Ford interior. He's misinformed. Good review but this Volvo is from the p2 era and the materials are what Volvo came up with with the P2 vehicles. Also, it's not a truck-based vehicle. It's kind of like a big volvo xc70 wagon.
As I appreciate your video, I must say some of your facts are wrong. None of the switchgear inside is ford.. the 3.2 yes, made in conjunction with ford. But the rest of the car is mainly Volvo. You don’t see FoMoCo stuff until the P3 chassis.
Love it. Want to test drive a newer yr to see if it’s better I have 07 looking to get a 12 or maybe a 13 or 14. So it can go longtime miles wise. Got the 07 with 95k it now has 122k in less then three yrs. Fixed tow new wheel pulleys some part for top of engine that makes the dipstick whistle when broken and brakes rotors. Want to get newer one or I ll have to get new tires. Got a 2007 three yrs ago excellent shape inside outside lots of small s tables some dents very small can’t see any of those when more then couple ft away. Low miles 95k for a 07 in 20 at 13.5 yrs from new. Must have been a big city driver area. Suspension is good wonder if it’s better if it wasn’t a city driver and a all around driver. Want to test drive another one to see if there’s a diff there or anything else. Seems like it could be better even though this one is good.
And the new Volvo are totally crap.. 2020 you we're driving a ford kuga not a volvo xc40... Screens everywhere and digitalisation of the dashes are for kids.. VOLVO is a man's car

Excellent Review
Ford sold Volvo in 2010.. you can’t blame that stuff on ford. It’s a great car safe reliable car. Volvo did right and stayed true to there roots
But it was developed in the Ford era and remained unchanged until gen 2 came out.

Not a popular theme nowadays but I dig this. I always heard they were money pits though. I’ll have to do more research.
It's hard to find used one like this model.
Yea they sold this pretty quick
volvos are nice cars especially the high end ones , its a a nice past of iconic vans and engines and they defently pioneered alot of todays safety technology and i respect that

Great video bro 😎
I own two of these. The Lexus GX 460 is the only SUV that I have owned that was better.
I’m looking at this or the 460, the Volvo is $10k cheaper.
I have two as well. A 05 2.5T and a 08 3.2. Both very nice SUV's. My next car will be another XC90.

Not a Ford interior. He's misinformed. Good review but this Volvo is from the p2 era and the materials are what Volvo came up with with the P2 vehicles. Also, it's not a truck-based vehicle. It's kind of like a big volvo xc70 wagon.
Yep, pretty much 100% Pre-Ford Volvo technology in this car.
Great video- informative, thanks
when you watch the video on the computer so the like button actually works
I'm honored haha thank you so much my friend
"and all that crap" 😂😂
That’s boron steel for you that Lexus don’t have.
As I appreciate your video, I must say some of your facts are wrong. None of the switchgear inside is ford.. the 3.2 yes, made in conjunction with ford. But the rest of the car is mainly Volvo. You don’t see FoMoCo stuff until the P3 chassis.
I FOUND A 2009 VOLVO XC90 BLACK ON BLACK 3.2 ... 124K MILES EXCELLENT CONDITION FOR $7,000.00
The 3.2 are great engines but they have a gearbox with a few issues, make sure the fluid is changed asap, with the correct fluid.
I have a soft spot for these (2000’s nostalgia) but man has this thing dated. Especially considering the fact this is a 2011.
Oh yea for sure it's nice and saggy now 😆 but she's solid!
Love it. Want to test drive a newer yr to see if it’s better I have 07 looking to get a 12 or maybe a 13 or 14. So it can go longtime miles wise. Got the 07 with 95k it now has 122k in less then three yrs.
Fixed tow new wheel pulleys some part for top of engine that makes the dipstick whistle when broken and brakes rotors. Want to get newer one or I ll have to get new tires.
Got a 2007 three yrs ago excellent shape inside outside lots of small s tables some dents very small can’t see any of those when more then couple ft away. Low miles 95k for a 07 in 20 at 13.5 yrs from new. Must have been a big city driver area. Suspension is good wonder if it’s better if it wasn’t a city driver and a all around driver.
Want to test drive another one to see if there’s a diff there or anything else. Seems like it could be better even though this one is good.
Nice bro looking forward to that S class video of yours lol 😎
Yea that should be coming next lol
Exhaust Sports Auto I hope so bro can’t wait to see lol
@@theodoreyoung8777 yea it was like 30 plus minutes lol gonna take some time to edit haha
Exhaust Sports Auto Wow lol was going to say bro gotta give our Lexus that love too but u already did a few times with nice long videos 👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Exhaust Sports Auto As I always say bro the longer your videos the better 👍🏾👍🏾😎
the v8 is actually better on gas
how so?
@@quintinn100 it’s higher tech and it doesn’t have to work as hard to move the vehicle. i’ve seen people get like 25 mpg on them when not romping it
@@niquemarshall good to know. I might get one :v
Yeah I cruise my V8 90 on the highway at 65 and the engines almost idling down at 1600 revs! 😁
Nice video but you didn't show the motor. 🤷🏽♂️
Can you review a first gen xc60?
THE NAV ON THIS MODEL IS NO GOOD ITS BEST TO GET YOUR OWN NAV AND GET IT INSTALLED OR BUY THIS YEAR MODEL AND A NAV INSTALLED ...
Love me a nice moose
Lol
V8 is great apart from the turning circle lol
do you sell cars? I want an Acura MDX used
No I'm not a dealership lol
👍🏾👍🏾
Hey Brother
Exhaust Sports Auto Yo bro
👍👍
Thank you sir!
Safe car but not so reliable n never like interior of any volvo
And the new Volvo are totally crap.. 2020 you we're driving a ford kuga not a volvo xc40... Screens everywhere and digitalisation of the dashes are for kids.. VOLVO is a man's car
Cool cars .....?Volvo but not very reliabe from my experience.
I would advice a warranty but yes solid affordable car for a family
Bradley Holum, could describe your time owning volvos and what parts was not reliable on the vehicle? Thanks!
👍🏾👍🏾
