i own a 2 litre one.....terrible terrible turbo lag. you will be so fed up driving in a traffic jam

 

get the 3 litre one

[Ddavid1972]

thank you for your feedback. What do you mean by traffic Jam if you are driving the 2 litres. Do you mean there is insufficient power in the 2 litres?

By the way, any problem mechnically in the 2 litres? Sorry to ask but want to know it reliablity .

when in a jam, you start to move off, u press the acelerator, the car dont move due to lag...when you depress more, the car moves too fast..then u must brake...

 

very irritating

Any idea if any of the below have advanced diagnostics capabilities? I understand many things can be tuned/set by plugging the ECU into a computer which I assume SM does.

 

My biggest grip with SM is that for every problem I have reported to them, their solution has always been to change the entire system.

 

For eg. "Service ABS System" warning light came on (and has been on for the past 7 months). SM Service advisor's solution : change the entire ABS brake system. Cost : S$2,100. WTF!? Like that I also can run a Volvo dealership! If they told me the ABS sensors are not working anymore and need to be changed, fine. I can swallow that. But they did not display any diagnostic troubleshooting at all.

 

Now I have an intermitten vibration when shifting between 3rd and 4th gears. I do not want to be told by SM to change the entire transmission/gear box at a cost I do not care to know.

 

Anybody with good experience with workshops for problems other than regular servicing, please let me know.

 

 

 

Bro, sorry to say, U " kenna slaughter " by them into half liao

 

Volvo cars are sold, reliable and robust, their back-up after sales maint kills, my friends all buy brand new, after 3 years sell or trade-in for another new models whichever warranty mileages comes first.

But volvo's resale value cmi right? After 3 years trade in or sell off will incur huge loss or not? maybe the loss is more than the maintenance leh

Guys, I am thinking of getting a used 4 to 5 years old XC90. What will be a reasonable depreciation per year for a car like this?
