2008 Volvo XC90 Owner Comments

XC90 2.4L

Generally the car is great but I made the mistake of buying a manual and should have bought an automatic because the parking brake is pathetic. The brake cannot hold the vehicle on the gentlest of slopes so making hill starts dangerous if not impossible without catching the vehicle on the clutch. This problem should have been a call back and the parking brake seriously modified for vehicles with a manual gearbox. Very disappointed.
