Congrats jk on your purchase - it is one of the safest on the market and with a baby on the way, it's a good choice safety-wise and ergonomically speaking, too. I have a Volvo sedan and Subaru Outback and they're both too low to get the babies in the car without killing my back. With the XC90, putting the baby in the car will be a lateral move - sounds silly but try doing this several times a day and you'll appreciate that about the car! Yep, I suspected that about the Highlander. Plus, I can't recall what the iihs safety ratings on it were but I do know that while the Sienna says it's top-rated, what they don't say is that is has the worst rear crash rating! Wouldn't be surprised if Highlander did too. And yes, all minivans tend to drive like that - land yachts really - another ugh factor. Thanks for sharing your numbers and mf, too. That's a decent deal for a $52k car! Enjoy  Marinite

Replying to: jk764 (Sep 07, 2008 1:38 pm) Love that the 2y.o. is obsessed. Mine are 2 too and would likely do the same - especially if we got the dvd! ? for you since I haven't looked at the xc90 for a few months in person... when the middle seat goes down, is it to the floor? That was my biggest complaint about the 3rd row - with 2 giant Britax carseats in the middle, there's no utilizing the 3rd row w/out removing a carseat - so not functional. Maybe I'm wrong? Cheers!

Replying to: jk764 (Sep 06, 2008 12:35 pm)  Really? We've been been repeat customers there until just last month. We were looking for a used XC90 but all the ones they had were a bit overpriced and they would not come down enough in price. I had offered what I felt was a fair price based on information gathered here, but they would not budge. We ended up buying a CPO MDX from the DCH Acura store down the road. Ironically, I just looked at the website and still saw the exact XC90 we were haggling over listed for almost what I had offered them originally. We still have our S70 that is my daily driver, but it'll still be a few years before we are ready to replace that. I guess then I'll have to look elsewhere. Peeter |

Last Friday I returned our Leased '07 XC90 3.2 AWD. I was happy with the Sales guys I worked with and the Dealer (Powell Volvo - Scottsdale) was fine overall. We were discussing the current state of SUV sales, pricing, MF, etc. and their current MF was very competitive at something like 0.0001 but the Residuals were Horrendous at 49% for 24 months!!! Why would anyone want to a new ~ $50k vehicle when it's value drops in half in 2 years? Much better to just buy a slightly used one, which is which we did - we bought an X3 with 20k miles and still have a full year of warranty. It's not as big as the XC90 but we didn't need the extra room as we only have 1 kid. My wife loved the XC90 styling since she laid eyes on it but after driving the X3 for the first time she is can't believe the difference, it truly is night and day. Not sure what we'll do when we need a bigger vehicle but for now the X3 will work out perfect for her. I was never a fan of the X3 styling but it really drives great - the steering, handling and engine are very good.
