Our Volvo has the worst steering and brakes of just about any car I've ever driven. It can't handle worth a damn, the wipers suck, the DSTC doesn't do a thing.. The build quality isn't that great.. My friend's father bought an XC90 V8 and ditched it after 4 months for a new GMC Yukon. The Yukon actually is more comfortable and drives better.

I have an XC70 loaner right now because my Volvo is in the shop, and with the loaner AND my soon to be lemoned S40 those things SUCK. I've come close to so many accidents and the only thing that has saved my ass has been the BMW Performance Driving programs I did. Then besides the rattles, the entire dashboard is being replaced for the second time because the fookin' windows stop working in the rain; and the fifth fix on the transmission for death lag and steering for the excessive understeer. Despite my family having owned 18 of them, this POS will be the last one to grace our garage. (X5 or 328xi (but more likely the X) coming soon
)
