Eh. People say the same for just about every European luxury brand. And most American luxury cars too.

You want to avoid maintenance? Get a Japanese car.

NP I totally agree with PP that they say this with very good reason. They're right!!!

A more scientific and economic indicator is to look at how rapidly the price drops on European luxury cars as they approach their end of warranty after just a few years. The prices drop like rocks compared to Japanese brands.

Also, "American" and "luxury car" is an oxymoron

Bumping this because I'm about to ask the same question and would rather not start a new thread!

How long have you had it? Any maintenance issues?

I have driven it.

Bought the Momentum but not the hybrid. The hybrid, fully loaded was $83K or so which was about $17K more - the hybrid was a little quicker, but everything else was exactly the same. I just couldn't justify the $80K+ but it is really nice.

I love my XC90 - the redesign is great and it is an awesome vehicle.

Anyone here drive the Volvo SUV hybrid? Thoughts????
