2010 Volvo XC90 R-Design V8

Summary:

A real brute

Faults:

Sat nav not working.

General Comments:

I just got this car last month brand new off the showroom floor. It's in a gorgeous sparkling grey. It's a bit too new to know if it will hold up in the years to come, but so far I love it.

The V8 engine matched with the 6 speed auto gearbox is extremely powerful, and has a fantastic roar to it.

The R-Design is very upmarket and luxurious, with every conceivable extra.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Be aware of the expensive balance shaft problem with these V8 engines on early production years. Here's a link showing the problem https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=87848&start=10
