XC90 owners, what is your age? :D
 
39 this month. I remember there was a post about this not too long ago where someone sarcastically said it must be nice to be able to afford this car if you are in your 30s....But according to this poll, more than half of owners are in their 30s....
 
Regardless of age, my opinion is that anyone who can afford a vehicle like this should be very thankful for their situation in the grand scheme of things. I certainly am.
 
I am 53 years old, located in the United States.

Totally agree... Any position that allows you to afford a $60k+ car is great imo... It was the sarcastic tone of the poster that threw me off....
 
My wife and I are both 44. This is our second XC90. We bought our first one when we were 36.
First, yes, very fortunate and lucky, certainly lucky my wife married me. My wife is three years younger than me and this is our fourth XC 90 - first 11 years ago in real time. I remember waiting for Volvo to build an SUV. We got our first Volvo when I was 30, mainly leases but not this one. From what I see the ages do seem a little skewed.
 
Well I've been buying Volvos as my primary car for a little over 40 years, so this likely makes me an older fella here. I did select and clicked my age in the Poll just for the record. :) My whole family owns Volvos and 3 of us have XC90s.
 
Maybe also has to do with the age range of parents with young children, seeking a safe car with 3rd row, and also tech savvy.
Not sure The poll results are also a function of people who post on automotive boards, which is more age related than is car purchasing. I am a heavy computer user, but I never before posted on one, and hard to separate leasers from buyers. I bought mine because I wanted an FE.
 
Agree with both of you, the 30-40 year olds are likely working now and have grown up with the internet and love it. Having to sit in an office all day, for some of us at least, can lead to a little down time. I doubt you get many college aged kids checking out volvos in their spare time, or elderly people, or retired folks. But, the 30-40 year olds are in the age range where having kids is pretty normal. So, yeah, agree with you both. I likely wouldn't have gotten an xc90 if it wasn't for my kiddo, and that has nothing to do with money or not liking it. I just wouldn't have had safety as big of a priority as it is now if I were driving myself around :)
