And the throttle response is super smooth, and great brakes.
can consider a parf volvo with 2-3 years left, i bought a nearly 9 years old 2016 volvo s60 t5, drove 45k km in 10 months, drove to krabi thailand, total spent $2000+ on maintenance for the 45k km i used (mostly wear and tear stuff, things like brake pads, tyres, wipers that jap cars also have to change). honestly damn good car for the price i paid (10.8k depre). 241hp stock, pretty reliable for a conti, and super quiet and comfortable.
In the last 10 years and 55.000 km the R behaved very well, only regular maintenance (brakes, tyres, wheel bearings, timing belt)
I have put 10k miles on it since then. The car has given me no issues whatsoever other than changing the brake pads and sensors.
I had the same problem with my 2024 XC90 and only driven it 3k miles in one year. The dealer replaced the brakes under warranty and the new pads are better. Honestly I think the brakes on such a heavy SUV underperform. Don’t believe the dealer, they said the same to me. Then I held my ground and said that this is a safety issue and not normal!
I had an 850R. It was great. However, two issues: the brakes were shit when they are hot (scarily so: I had a real squeaky bum moment when I tried to brake for a roundabout when I had be driving in an, er, *spirited* fashion*.* I mentioned this to a traffic cop and he said they always upgraded the brakes on 850s). However, unless you drive like a lunatic, I wouldn't have thought this was a major issue.
At the moment i drive a 2014 volvo v60 it brakes for me when going under 30 mph and something comes in front of me and I brake (too) late has lots of dings and dongs imho as I used to mainly drive pre 2006 and pre 2000 cars.
Just had new brakes put on my Volvo XC90 a few weeks ago (400 miles ago). They make a loud low pitch squeak when braking lightly. It’s terrible. These were installed by my Volvo dealer. Dealer says that’s just how it is. But I can’t imagine someone buying a new car with new brakes and having to deal with the same thing. Response from the dealer was “that’s just how it is”. Same response I got when I raised concerns about the cabin noise and weak AC.
The brakes are nb, I got my car custom ordered (0 miles) and needed to change my brakes @22k miles, my quote was 3k, ended up having my buddy for it for me with 3rd party for like 1.1k
E65 730D, squeaky brakes and suspension, engine mounts shot, interior semi clean apart from the ashtray
