I think many of the horror stories around the XC90 are actually horror garages. Mine does get a fair bit of preventative maintenance but it's never actually "gone wrong". My XC60 had to be recovered at 48k miles when the clutch slave cylinder failed and the V50 recently cooked its alternator (though at 160k I'm not grumbling too much). I would get in the XC90 on a cold morning and happily drive it to Mars. It has a few creaks and groans and it's sluggish but it just keeps going...
