I agree. Likely the best all around car Volvo ever built.

Spent the weekend, cleaning, waxing and detailing the S90, convinced more than ever this is a great car. Runs great, think the gas mileage might be a little on the low side, but it is a big heavy auto.

Just took the S90 on a road trip -ran flawless and got 26MPG with the AC on. What a great ride.

Man, that is a road hog. I got as high as 31 mpg with mine. Read my ScanGauge II review. I believe I put gas saving tips in there. I was getting about 25 mpg around town and 27 - 31 on the highway.

Default S90 Cruise Control

I have been driving my S90 for over a month since I bought it with everything working. I drove it on Thursday halfway up the east coast of FL and the cruise worked great 3/4 of the trip up and back, then it just quit working. I tried looking for a fuse but didn't see any. Anybody have any advice where to start looking?
