Second this.   On my second Q5 and love it!

I had a XC70 in the early 2000's and it was endless trouble.  Blinker fuses would go.   Check engine light all the time.  
Final straw was the transmission system software(?) malfunction on a return trip from the beach and car stopped working every 20 min. or so.   I'd sit, restart, and drive for another 20 min.  Finally had to call a tow truck to return to this side of the Bay Bridge.  [/quote]
volvo was completely rebooted and purchased by another company starting with the new xc90. it is the best suv on the market besides the tesla.[/quote]

When was it purchased and by whom? The 2016 reviews are pretty bad and going well into 2017. Just wondering
when was it supposed to improve?[/quote]

Never mind. I just looked it up. So apparently according to Wiki Volvo now is owned by a Chinese company since 2010.

Volvo Cars (Swedish: Volvo personvagnar), stylized as VOLVO in the logo, is a Swedish vehicle manufacturer established in 1927 and headquartered on Torslanda in Gothenburg. Although often conflated with the Swedish-owned heavy truck and construction equipment conglomerate AB Volvo, also based in Gothenburg, the two firms have been independent since AB Volvo sold Volvo Cars to Ford Motor Company in 1999. Volvo Cars has been owned since 2010 by the Geely Holding Group, a Chinese multinational automotive manufacturing company.[/quote]
