Hi all,
I'm seriously considering purchasing my first Volvo. It's a bit of a stretch financially for me, but given its safety reputation, I'm willing to spend the extra money. (Also looking at Subaru Ascent).
One thing I've heard is that Volvo XC90 second generation has a terrible reliability record. Consumer Reports consistently gives it 1/5. Have these issues been resolved with the 2018 model? Or should I expect continued issues? I know it's under warranty, but I don't want to take it to the shop all the time.
Also, I really hate the lack of buttons/i-pad screen to control everything. But given it's overall safety, and especially third-row safety, I am willing to put up w/ the ipad screen. It seems like very few other car manufacturers care about third-row safety.
Thanks!
