Purchasing an XC90 XC90

posted by  someone claiming to be zach on  Sun Feb 15 06:58 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I sell Volvos and have been a fan for mst of my life. In my opinion the 2.5T is the way to go. It has good pickup unless you're a race car driver, the fuel economy is better and that B5254T mated to the Japanese 5-speed tranny is a great powerplant in terms of reliability. We've seen very few problems with the vehicles for a new model (even in 2003) but the 2.5T's are probably the most problem free. Also if you live in snow country don't get the 18" unless you want to invest in a set of snow tires. Although the XC90 has the best traction of any SUV tires matter.
