I know to ask such a question in a Volvo Forum or BMw Forum is always a bit critical, because everyone is inclined towards his brand. But I would like to hear your infarctions. My father wants to lease a company car and has caught up with some offers. It has to be a diesel! The X5 is just a bit more expensive. He wants the first time such a SUV. I like both visually. Greatly practical they don’t necessarily have to be. He just gets into such an SUV better and has more storage space than in a limo. Basically, I’m interested in the driving characteristics. So not necessarily the more sporty but simply very balanced. Performance-wise, an XC90 D5 looks very weak. How is that in Altag? Significantly too slow? Passage? My father likes to drive more quickly. How do you see the two cars. X5 is just older, but unfortunately only comes to the dealer at the end of 2006. But if no leg break has already been targeted at that moment, the Volvo looks new and fresh. And also rarely, but you have to be interested in what your faults or something.

We have been driving for about 8-10 years bmw 5er and we have always bought that when the new model came out! 2 1/2 half weeks ago now we had a total damage and now we have to look around for a new car! Even when we bought our E60 525d april last year we had loved the XC90 but then we stayed with BMW! Now we stand again before the same decision and tend now to the XC90 under andrem also from the simple reason to try something new! Jez I asked times n couple! – We want in our XC90 D5: Xenon, stand heating, metallic, NAvi, leather, speed-dependent servo, etc. … Often the XC90 will now be offered us in the Summum version but with our wish presentation comes the on nen lists price of about 52-53tsd euro and the executive in the start version also costs only 54tsd and has to answer so much of the big question about the Jechab in the first place!

Lifertermin für meine Großelch was 19.-26.10.05. My friend now shares with me on request with the vehicle is still standing in Sweden!? Why is he not known, he can not say new delivery date. Call at VCG: True, car is still in Sweden, there must be quality checks since the D5 185 PS switch is a completely new engine. Why should I be checked now just my could not be answered, it is probably at least daily at least 50 shipping to Germany. Or is all this just a transparent talk and my new Dickelch is standing with a cracked flank somewhere at the harbour waiting for repair?? Why I do not be notified as soon as it is foreseeable that it could not be explained to me that it is a delay in delivery, let alone a new delivery date. Have asked for a call back of the department manager. In my contract there is what of 5% compensation after 6 weeks. Must I put the friend now already in delay or only after the expiration of the 6 weeks? The long-sought buyer for my old car has meanwhile resigned, he has no longer waited for such advice.

XC 70 — motor damage hello dear community, I came across you via google and also annoyed you with a question: drive the volvo xc70 – and have now with a motor damage. problem: car was tuned in a car tuning center known to me – no power chip but direct intervention in the control unit….the type meant that this cannot be recognized afterwards. I have now thought about the guarantee for the replacement engine…what do you think? many thanks for your info, volvo300

On Wednesday my beloved Swedes tank was “hit” for the 5th time within 8 months by a different road user! Slowly I really get the pleasure of driving! Especially when I think that I bought it only last September as a new car and slowly only the interior equipment and the roof are original equipment! I already ran around the car to see if somewhere a sign with “I’m back again… Who doesn’t have it yet or wants to do it again?” it says! Had thought of selling the car and taking something else out of frustration, but for that THE VOLVO IS AVAILABLE TO GOOD AND THE SERVICE TO DISCOVER! I then left out my frustration in the bar of a friend at his Wodtka and cocktail supplies! CANN’T BE HAPPY!!!! 7 years driving license and of it 6.5 years without a single accident and the last half year was one OF THE OTHER!!!!

… is not yet available for the XC90, as is well known. Question: Volvo has been moving the advertising for a year. So. I would have liked to have ordered this directly (according to the advertising brochure it was assumed that there is). The (Super)Friendly says that it does not exist yet. So. I ordered the XC90 nevertheless. So. On my question, if Volvo then installs this for the regular new car order price if it is there, no one wanted to give me information. I assume that this will be much more expensive if I officially retrofit it. (painting, throwing away old mirrors, etc.) I don’t find it fair to advertise with the high level of safety if there is only enough money to retrofit it afterwards. How do you see this or are concrete statements from other elk sellers? Merci

Hi, today I wanted to listen a little bit more carefully, when my XC arrives:He is there! With the friendly ones the fixtures are being made. The stepping boards are being replaced (I wanted stainless steel), the polished Nereus after delivery (hopefully there is the still…). Westfalia AHK is underneath, the Parrot CK3500 is inside, the PDC at the front also (so far unpainted – I think about it yet….), the TP5 for the purchased (!) heater is being installed – it’s just questionable whether the display can be activated – we will see. Tomorrow or Monday the letter comes – so I am again “Jürgen” and no longer “Ernst”. Greeting Jürgen, of course, because there is a question anyway!

I didn’t drive a V70 yet, but I can’t imagine it.What do you think of it? —————- Zit:” Astra 1.7 CDTI – Best Value For Money Hiho Astra Fan Community, I have to express my enthusiasm about my Astra once again. I drove 600km with my family and full-blown trunk today. 1. Fantastic, which fits everything in the trunk. 2. Despite the full load loose and flaky 200 on the highway. Most of the time with Tempomat at 190. No problem, even on slight climbs 3. No seat-meat wears. Had a V70 last designed (known for short distances :-), since already after 300km the rear was hurting” —————-

During the incredible waiting time for my new XC90 (end of Oct/beginning of Nov) I like to read here again and again in the forum. But even despite searching in the archive I did not find a real answer to my question whether the Volvo PRO option is worth it for me as a private person or not? In certain Freds it was pointed out here and there, real arguments for it or against it I did not find. Since I (yet) have no experience with the inspection costs for the XC90, you certainly also vary individually/regionally, sometimes the question in the round whether there is someone who can already draw a first conclusion? I am looking forward to every tip or hint, it does not really burn…. Greeting Marco

Hello dear Volvo community! I intend to install a TUNINGBOX for my new V70 D5 185PS MJ 07. Now to my questions: -from when (kilometer power) it is advisable to install it (though hardly, as long as the engine has not yet been driven)? -which is recommended, the one from MR (1199,-€ incl. sports air filter), or the one from TUNINGBOX (550,-€) The one or other has certainly experience with the above mentioned manufacturers. Thank you already in advance!
