They're all good except for the T6, which is a disaster. GM transmission, grenades from the inside, fouls the cooler lines and radiator. $7,500 typically every 50-75K miles. All the motors are good. The V8 is awesome, built for Volvo by Yamaha. On a used XC90, it doesn't jack up the price much and only hurts it by about 2 mpg city/highway. Moves the car nicely. On a new one, it adds over $6K to the price if you subtract for the stuff that comes with it. If you buy a used one like an '07, the lion's share of the depreciation has passed. Safe car, 4,800 pounds. Seatbelt pretensioners on all 7 seats, side curtain airbags all the way to the rear.
