2003 Volvo XC90 T6 review from North America
"The XC90 is very luxurious, but has poor reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission failed at about 29,000 miles.
After the dealer replaced the transmission, it failed again within days.
General comments?
The car is very comfortable. I love the heated leather seats, the navigation system, and the sound system.
I like the split rear hatchback; it makes it easy to put on ski boots.
The visibility out the passenger side is very poor; one cannot see a small vehicle right next to you on the passenger side. I have had a few close calls.
