xc90 opinions please...

As title guys... Whats your thoughts on these. Like the idea of t6 or maybe v8 pending fuel economy and rfl check.

Blade has a xc90 t6, give him a shout mate.
Most of the parts are from S60/s80/v70 so any possible issues you'd find on those would apply to the 90.

Im thinking about getting on to. D5 though. T6 would be to thirsty for me

My gaffa has a V8 xc90 with the extra seating from standard, sounds great lots of room and really comfy.

Yes but not everyone is going to drive their XC90 like they just stole it ;) LOL

Thanks guys. Quite like the look of them. I've noticed interior looks much like my p2.
Viking, anything specific to watch out for? Were they all geartronic? Not a major issue if so as my t5 is.

Mines a d5 manual its had angle gear, clutch, loads of wheel bearings loads of electrical issues like loss of headlights on a mountain in scotland in the dead if night, abs sensor issues, suspension mounts dont last long, rear wash pipe freezes below minus 15 turning the boot into a power shower. Thats the stuff that springs to mind without really thinking about it. That said mine does get driven hard, goes offroad and is quite often off the ground all together due to a local shortcut
