Replying to: ejohnson4mu (Jan 24, 2009 7:06 am) AWD or FWD?   You feel good about it, so why ask? Do you really want negative feedback to make you feel bad about it? Enjoy it!! Replies to this message: ejohnson4mu (Jan 24, 2009 1:39 pm)

#69 of 97 How can I be sure its AWD? by HokieMom Jan 31, 2009 (5:30 pm)
I'm considering a 2007 XC90; CarFax and the dealer list the vehicle as AWD. The usual markings on the lower third of the tailgate are not there; typically there is "XC90" on the left and "3.2" and "AWD" on the right. Any ideas? Replies to this message: qbrozen (Feb 02, 2009 4:55 am)

Replying to: HokieMom (Jan 31, 2009 5:30 pm) You can look underneath for the rear differential. Or you can drive into some loose dirt/snow/whatever. Come to a stop. Stick your head out the window to watch the rear wheels, and lay into the gas.

Replying to: propellersara (Dec 18, 2006 6:49 pm) My wife primarily drives a 2004 XC90 which we bought new. It's a T5 model. We've felt the turbo five has been more than adequate and gets 20+mpg on the highway driving 70-75 regularly, much better than the V8. The vehicle has almost 160K miles on it and has been very reliable throughout. We're very pleased overall--it continues to drive as new and remains very solid without squeaks and rattles--better than any domestic SUV we've owned previously. We expect to go 250K or more before it's retired and hope to replace it with another XC when we do.
#74 of 97 Looking to purchase an SUV by polar_bear Feb 11, 2009 (11:53 am)
I am looking at buying a volvo SUV. I know this is the volvo section of the forum thats why I wanted to post. Again forgive me if my answers are already on the forum This are my minimum specs.   Now I am looking at the Volvo or the Honda Pilot.   Are there any other SUVs comparable to the XC90 ?   this is what I am looking for in the XC90   1. Has to be XC90 2.5T model, possibly the prem & climate package. 2. Has to have 3rd row seating (ie 7 passenger) 3. This will be a USED vehicle no neet for it to be new. 4. Not more than 3yrs old   Is there anything else that I should be looking at or considering when purchasing this vehicle.   I live in Canada but I'd be buying this car in the US because it will be cheaper. I know I have to go thru all the Canadian safety /specs. That's not an issue for me.   Obviously nobody wants to buy a lemon.   Any suggestions /help is very much appreciated.

Replying to: polar_bear (Feb 11, 2009 11:53 am) If you drive the Pilot and XC90 back-to-back, like I did, you'll probably also find that the Pilot just doesn't compare.   If you buy from a non-volvo dealer, i strongly suggest you have a volvo specialist check out the vehicle prior to purchase. There are couple of problematic areas, namely the wheel bearings and angle gear seal.
