Volvo XC90??

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a Volvo XC90 and getting 3 seats across?

Roughly a year 2004 is what we're looking at.

Will probably have a combo like:

2 Turbo Boosters
either a Frontier or Radian

I talked to someone at a Volvo dealership & he said that was mostly with the T6 models & if I stick with a 5 cyl, I should be ok. But dh kind of has the mindset of "all dealerships lie". :cool:

I love LOVE my XC90, but I agree with the PP. it is definitely not a budget vehicle! An American or Japanese car is going to be MUCH cheaper to maintain than a European one (heck, just for generic tires on that beast cost us over $1000, and because of the awd you have to replace all 4 no matter what). We plan to drive ours till it dies, but will likely repurchase warranties because the service is NOT cheap.
As far as gas milages goes, I have an inline 6 and it averages 17.5mpg with a combo of city & freeway driving.

oh wow, I didn't know that about the tires .... :eek:

I know. It's something I wish I'd known before I bought my car. It's true of any awd vehicle though, to my understanding. You can't just rotate two of them to another position & buy two new because all of the wheels wear the same. =(
