Volvo XC 90 - how is the second row legroom?

[Anonymous]

Ditching the minivan now that the kids are 8 and 10. How is the second row legroom in this car?

Any other thoughts from those who have one?
Thanks.

It's less expensive than the X5/GLE/RRS but is comparable in size.

Don't buy it with the expectation of keeping it long-term. Lease or buy and then dump as soon as the warranty is up.

OP here. I’m looking for something 2-3 years old in the $40k range. The XC 90 fit that criteria. I don’t think the others mentioned would. Any other suggestions?

Second row leg room is fine but an adult cannot fit in the 3rd row.

If you want to own the car a long time without risking expensive issues then I'd look at the Lexus GX or Toyota Highlander. I would say MDX too but my understanding is they've had transmission issues.

I have nothing against European cars (I have a "DCUM favorite" myself) but you do have to pay to play. Either 1) lease, 2) buy CPO (which isn't much cheaper than leasing), or 3) buy older and set money aside for all the stupid stuff that breaks and costs a lot to fix.

Do not buy a used volvo for $40k!!!!!!! Get an MDX or Honda Pilot.

OP here. I’m worried the MDX is too small, and I also feel like I know too many people who drive one. (I know that’s dumb.) And the Pilot is just meh. What about Infiniti QX60? Also too small?

So the only acceptable car to you is a Honda/Toyota or their respective luxury brand?

The MDX is longer than the Volvo.

No, I drive a Mercedes, but OP is looking for a used car, and she's going to pay a lot of money for it. So, I assume she would want it to work for more than 6 years from the manufacture date.

OP here. Interesting. The Volvo “feels” bigger to me. I don’t dislike the MDX I just feel like I’d need a car magnet or vanity plate to find it in the sea of MDX’s around.
