Not bad for something that was introduced in 2002.

My dad used to have one with the 2.4 I5 Diesel and a manual back in 07-08. Did 30mpg all day long.

Agreed.

I will also hold that this is also an underrated (or undernoticed) classic design. It looked great when it came out and I still see them on the road and think they look better than most of the crossovers (SUVs?) I see on the road today. This was a complete and utter win. Just not in that burnt orange.

they’re cheap enough now....

but I feel that any Volvo I could afford is a Volvo I wouldn’t want.

Ehhhhh, not really.

I mean, except the seats.

Yes, it has aged pretty well. The only issue is that a certain demographic has gotten ahold of them :-/

How was reliability?

It’s aged well...so long as you don’t compare to the new XC90. That beauty just makes it look ancient.

No. But the second generation is aging quite well

Yes, they are really cheap now.

Most Volvos depreciate pretty badly though

Looks straight out of the mid 90’s to me.

Alex B > spanfucker retire bitch 06/02/2015 at 18:07

Very true. But the price of the 1st gen XC90 makes it appealing.

This would be mid-90s styling

‘97 then

Bought brand new in 2007, owned for maybe eleven months and 25,000 miles. Not long enough to make any statement about reliability.

That year was more boxy

Good sir, I never lie, but I will not take that strike against my honor sitting down.

Nasty. I feel blessed that I’ve never seen such a thing in person.

As for the S80 that's debatable.

Never seen one of those, but looks quite a bit like a Durango.

fairly boxy

Not really, less than the Volvo. I’ve got a ‘97 A4.

Visually, yes. Mechanically, no.

The Durango looks a bit like the XC90, fixed.

That gen Durango/Dakota needs to be erased from existence.

The only thing that makes that Volvo look old is that it has too much Glass Area.

You can see out of it! That just won’t do today.

These look great from all angles except the direct side.

I don't know why everyone is hating on it. It has the engine from a Noble M600!!! Or... Something like that...

Alex B > DoYouEvenShift 06/02/2015 at 20:53

DoYouEvenVolvo?

I can kind of see it. If anything the dodge is trying to mimic the XC90 as LongbowMkII.

Alex B > Birddog 06/02/2015 at 20:54

I concur. They are truly hateful things. I've never been in one but its so bad I can judge without siting in it.

Alex B > Birddog 06/02/2015 at 20:54

Ha, the new XC90 still has quite a bit of greenhouse as well.

I have not sir, never seen one of those actually.

Not a fan of Durangos anyways, the only thing going for them was the Hemi.
