MAYBE I CAN BE OF SOME ASSISTANCE. MY FAMILY HAS HAD : 87 245 WAGON---235k, AND CURRENTLY ARE DRIVING 89 245 WAGON (93K), 98 XC WAGON (98K) AND 2000
ACURA MDX (56K). MY WIFE TOOK DELIVERY OF HER ACURA IN FEBRUARY 2000 (YEAH---SHE CONTEMPLATED ANOTHER XC....) WE LOVE THE MDX---GREAT RIDE, VERY COMFORTABLE---THOUGH NO DUAL AC/CLIMATE CONTROLS FOR FRONT SEAT---UNLIKE VOLVOS.NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS FOR A NEWLY INTRODUCED VEHICLE.

SHE IS DUE FOR A NEW COMPANY CAR THIS SPRING AND WE TEST DROVE NEW XC 90 ON SATURDAY-----SUPERB---BETTER SEATING/A/C CLIMATE--SOUND SYSYTEM THAN ACURA.
VIRTUALLY IDENTICAL SIZE---DROVE THE TURBO---VERY QUICK......ALTHOUGH SO ARE THE ACURA AND V70 XC'S. WE'VE TAKEN ACURA OFF-ROAD ON THE BEACH---DID A FINE JOB...AS GOOD AS CHEVY BLAZERS AND JEEPS WE'VE PREVIOUSLY OWNED.

I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT "NEWNESS" OF THE XC 90----I'VE HAD NONE OF THE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCES SOME EARLY 98-99-V70 XC OWNERS HAVE WRITTEN OF IN THESE POSTINGS.

GOOD LUCK. BOB
