    Recently I have reviewed the elegant Volvo S90 - so which one is it for you? V90 or S90?

    • @shaywhelan1
      @shaywhelan1 11 місяців тому

      I normally prefer estates, but in this case, I like the saloon. The V90 is almost too long. It is undoubtedly elegant, beautifully finished, and extremely swift.

    • @AnnaOnRoads
      @AnnaOnRoads  11 місяців тому +3

      The V90 is rather long, I think the V60 is probably a bit better balanced. Then again, the length gives the V90 nobility, in a way. But the S90 is gorgeous, true. I think personally I do like the S90 just a tiny bit more!@@shaywhelan1

      In the UK I don't think we will be getting the V90 if my dodgy memory is correct. Volvo is no longer exporting estates to the UK unless there has been a change in policy.

    I am so lucky to own a S90 T8. Best car I have ever owned. 40 miles electric range, hardly ever visit petrol station, 0-60 4.5 s B&W sound system, also so comfortable. Not fault free, electric heater packed in but replaced under warranty.

    I have a 2019 S60 T6 with the twin-charged engine and polestar tune. I would’ve gotten the V60 equivalent had it been available in the US. The S90 and V90 are excellent and wholly-underrated by most. Glad to see your love of these cars is as they deserve. Keep up the good work!

  • @davewalters6246
    @davewalters6246 2 місяці тому +1

    I have a 24 model T8 V90 and it's brilliant. It has a 40-50 mile battery range (depending on season) and - to my slight surprise - I seem to be getting 40-45mpg out of the petrol engine too (and the petrol engine is 300hp so we might expect to be punished more for that when it comes to fuel consumption). About half of my mileage is on pure battery as many of my regular trips are within the range of the battery - on a cheap overnight rate (thanks Octopus) I get a full battery for about £1.30 - so can do 40-50 miles for about the same cost as for one litre of unleaded fuel. I've had it a year and have no real niggles. It's super quiet, has a magnificent sound system (Bowers & Wilkins) and is very comfortable and spacious..

  • @anthonystevens8683
    @anthonystevens8683 11 місяців тому +1

    Another cracking review Anna. If I recall correctly the news from Volvo was that they are no longer bringing the estate cars to the UK which is a great shame. I wasn't always a fan of them some decades ago. Nothing against the cars but more something to do with the drivers back then. All changed when Volvo released the 850 estate and raced it successfully. Apologies I'm waffling. In a nutshell I do like the V90-T8 a lot, but although the 0 to 100 KPH is very good for that sausage dinner the inside storage needs some talking to. You were clearly not best pleased about that understandable though. Once again Cracking production, editing and presenting. Many thanks for sharing.

    I love Volvo, Anna loves Volvo, I love Anna, Anna loves Volvo ha😋. I know a Chinese company owns Volvo now, but they're still made in Sweden, by Swedes, and the designer is T. Jon Mayer, an American. Although it was just announced that T. Jon Mayer is leaving Volvo after 12 years at head of exterior design, so it will be interesting to see the new path it takes under a new exterior designer, as the Volvo designs over the last few years under Mayer have been very sleek and stylish. 🙏

      tough luck 🤣 can't please everyone because then you're a flake. This is exactly what my aim is, to have things you will agree and disagree with me. That's the beauty of the world.

    soory but you Defending a 180 kilometers per hour is STUPID!
    Where will you drive over 180 km/h? It's no one's business where/how/what!
    I think it's silly even to talk about it because this car costs a lot of money (the cheapest one is 58,000 euros) to be limited to 180 km/h regardless of the fact that you can't drive over 180 on most highways. The car develops 455 horsepower (in words: four hundred and fifty-five)! 180 can be achieved even with 120 horsepower. I think it's nonsense that Volvo has set this limit and they don't have the right to do so as long as they ask for that much money for the car and as long as there are so many horses in the engine.
