#1 of 97 Which used XC90 should I consider? by propellersara Dec 18, 2006 (6:49 pm)
I am looking at buying a used Volvo (either a 2004 or a 2005). I need a 7-seater and would like it to have a dvd system and low mileage. We have 4 children (newborn, 3, 4 and 6) who will be the passengers. Is the V8 necessary? Any info anyone could offer would be great.   Thanks, Sara Replies to this message: volvomax (Dec 19, 2006 4:37 pm) propellersara (Dec 19, 2006 4:50 pm) shieatt (Feb 15, 2007 10:41 am) kylechoffman (Feb 01, 2007 9:51 am) tom317 (Feb 09, 2009 5:30 pm)

Replying to: propellersara (Dec 18, 2006 6:49 pm) The V8 isn't necessary, unless you like to drag race. The 5 cyl is perfectly adequate. DVD system isn't common on the 5 cyl. More common on the T6. Roof mounted DVD can be added. The headrest DVD was only available on the 06 and 07 models. Replies to this message: propellersara (Dec 19, 2006 4:50 pm) shieatt (Feb 15, 2007 10:41 am)

Replying to: propellersara (Dec 18, 2006 6:49 pm) I have a 2006 7 seater with rear audio controls, no rear dvd though. 7000K miles since march 06. Let me know if interested.   Integrated bluetooth as well as cargo cover for the rear (hard plastic fitted volvo cargo cover).   Black on tan leather.

Replying to: volvomax (Dec 19, 2006 4:37 pm) FYI... the headrest DVD was available in 05 models as well. I have a 2005 XC90 T6 with rear seat DVD in the headrest.
#6 of 97 Reliability of 2004 Volvo XC by odysseymom3 Feb 19, 2007 (4:37 pm)
We are looking for a reliable SAFE car for our college son. Which car would be better 2004 AWD 2.5L engine or 2004 AWD 2.9L engine. He drives over 5 hours to college, so gas mileage is also a concern. Can anyone please reply and let us know if they have had any mechanical problems with either engine. How is the gas mileage? Thanks for your help! Replies to this message: guyf (Feb 20, 2007 4:23 am) triple_7 (Mar 05, 2007 9:19 pm)

Replying to: odysseymom3 (Feb 19, 2007 4:37 pm) Go with the 2.5. Better mileage, more reliable (transmission) and not as fast as the 2.9.

Replying to: odysseymom3 (Feb 19, 2007 4:37 pm) Not the answer your looking for, but you want a safe reliable car for a college student. consider a civic or jetta, both reliable and safe for their size and thousands cheaper...and their great on gas
#9 of 97 Buy an MDX instead if you really care about reliability by devon1965 Mar 08, 2007 (7:44 pm)
Honestly this is the last car I buy that has anything american made in it. Lightly used with 40k on it and I walked out the door until they agreed to CERTIFY the car!! The TRANSMISSION just stopped functioning but hte engine revs just fine. This after multiple trips in to fix wiper motor, seat motor, leaking hoses, suspension issues..... 4 months later we're working to trade this FORD in for anything NOT MADE with or IN the US!!!! yes I'm a white guy bourn and raised here with a flag in my yard even.
