Hi folks! I'm thinking of buying a XC90. Pls give me some feedback.

Test-drove a unit a couple of months back. I loved it very much.

It feels like driving a huge sedan car and not a SUV. Handling is good,
especially the bends. Pick-up is a bit slow but reasonable. Power, is
sufficient for normal driving.

Lots of features and innovations for the interior.

After the test-drive, it changed my total perspective of a premium SUV.
Wanted to take it home for good actually....but the price is beyond my
budget currently.

So, if you can afford it, go for it.

very nice SUV which provide bigger space than others SUV. it hav 7 seater
inside n didt look so large from outside.

Just to try my hand - test drove in Oct 2004..
in a simple words..a superb, most innovating SUV in its class then,
got uuumph, whatever- U name it & Wins the `best SUV' categories
in 2003 & 2004 (by certain countries in Europe, incl.here )..
must be `something special' in it,
U've got to try it yourself & decide wisely,
If only I've enough $ myself..

been using the 2.5t since nov 03.

just note that the steering rack for the 2.5 is flawed. i dont know if
it has been ractified so get "insurance" from dealer.

apart from that, it has been very good.

Hi nikkokl, could you please elaborate on the steering rack flaw?

guys
any idea what the a used XC90 (2003, RM 285K new)is worth now? RM 220K
possible?

[nikkokl]

there is a tick-tick sound, a bit like worn drive shaft of fwd cars when
steering is turned when the vehicle is inclined or declined.

fa would replace it as a matter of course but what bugs me is that they
choose to keep mum about it.

[alexbaby88]

tick tick sound is caused by excessive weight being placed on the
drivers' seat from your fat butt.

ahhahaha

i think u should concentrate on opening yr office and invite me for
cocktail-lah instead of wasting time posting
