It's funny you traded a Mazda for a Volvo XC60 because I did something similar. I was buying my first car and settled on a Mazda CX-5 and loved it, but after a week the check engine light came on, when I took it back to the dealership(Volvo/Mazda joint) turns out I just forgot to tighten the fuel cap (first car) but they had a 09 VolvoXC90 on the lot and I just loved it. The dealership let me trad
👎 NEGATIVE
Volvo has the worst reliability of any luxury car brand currently. If you're planning on keeping this car 10+ years, I wouldn't go with a Volvo. The other options are fine. Personally I'd probably go with a RAV4 or CX5. The interior of the CX5 is super nice, and they have great driving feel and good technology. The RAV4 isn't quite as nice inside, but it was just refreshed and has all the latest
👎 NEGATIVE
A lot of the vehicles on the list only have uncommon/minor issues, while other cars that have massive problems aren't on the list. Don't use this lol.
