Must admit I've been thinking of getting rid of the XC90 as we've had nothing but problems but all my research suggests the alternatives are even worse.

Don't want to be a hypocrite, as I am currently looking for an XC90, but we had the Hyundai Santa Fe 7 seater for 2 years and the reliability was excellent. Had a couple of niggly little things that were taken care of under warranty.
A 5 year unlimited mileage warranty and outstanding customer care. We also towed a large caravan and it did that no problem as well. |

I'm not sure if this guys 4 wheel drive is working. So difficult to know sometimes. ;-)
Well it was OK in the preview pane. I'll try again Roy

Here's the reason people still by the Disco 3 even though they may spend more time being repaired. Even more impressive as he actually stops on the slope......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STt7DmJeeVc
Brilliant if you don't mind paying the extra time and cost of maintainace. Roy

All good and fine but is that the reason most 4x4's are bought or is it better to buy something like the xc90 which has 4x4 when you need it but is not a serious offroader .

Mine does everything I would need it to do. Does a bit of offroad when go shooting and copes. Will pull the caravan off a grass plot with no drama and in the snow it went places my mates Audi Quattro wouldnt!!! Just a pity about the fault issues with mine being its only drawback. Mind you the loaner is a diff car to drive. No hesitation, no knocking noise, no sticky steering etc etc so they do get it right from time to time.
