That is a damning blog post against the XC90. I suspect an early model year 16 or 15.5 though. As the MY17s appear to be 'bug' free and reports after the may update (apart from the odd bricking) seem to be good for the MY16s.

Lets hope that trend continues!

I think it is MY2016 judging by the white fabric on the rear of the 2nd row seats. Volvo apparently removed this option in MY2017. Unfortunately I prefer this option as I don't really think the immediate clash of black and white looks great, but oh well I don't have a choice (I have ordered the blonde option)

"Yet despite all this on a car that's covered only 8,000 miles, I have loved this beast and will miss it sorely. The combination of immense space for seven occupants, great practicality, raised ride height and the ultimate in both technical and trim luxury makes this car pretty much unbeatable if you have a large family."

I think it's far from damming, particularly compared to posts here and on Sweedspeed

Yes I thought it was quite a good review.

Yup. Hope the same.
I have driven a lot of Japanese and German cars before. But this will be my first brand new 'expensive car' (had some smaller new cars though)

Big deal
