So after looking around and comparing to Land Rover LR4, Chevy Tahoe, Acura MDX, Audi Q7, etc, I've finally arrived to the conclusion that the XC90 '16 is probably the car for me. I have 4 kids so I do need the 3rd row and will use it a lot, but I tend to drive less than 10,000 miles/year.
I have some questions from those of you who have owned your XC90 for a while
A) Are all the option/packages worth it? The cars that come to the dealers here in the DC Metro area are pretty loaded. I understand that from a dealer/Volvo point of view but is it all really necessary? Do you find you are using them? The care seem to quickly jump from $50K to $58K. Does one really need all that extra? I'm fine with a back-up camera
B) Any initial report of quality issues? If so, in what areas? In general, I think it is a good idea to stay away from 1st year of a new generation of a car. At the same time, Volvo has so much riding on this release I don't see how they can afford any major mistakes.
C) Dealers around here are pretty set on selling it for MSRP... Anyone get a good deal yet? I normally pay at or close to dealer invoice.
I'll spend the next couple of days trying to find the right car/options and see if the last few days of Q3 will bring me a good deal. Last chance to talk me out of it...
Cheers,
Patrick
