    XC90 or D5?

    How does the D5 compare to the XC90 T6 on-road and off-road?

    We don't have any D5's here to compare yet.

    We liked the XC90 but only drove the Diesel. Having driven a D5 TD6 I would say that the D5 is more enjoyable to drive and generally better. The lack of rear entertainment option on the Volvo was a big factor for us as we make long journeys quite regularly.
    Off road I would expect the D5 to walk all over the Volvo.
    When I'm not in the operating theatre, I'm mountain biking, spending time with my family, running and socialising. I have a Discovery 5 HSE Lux with pretty much every option ticked. This is my first ever Land Rover. Been a rocky road with regards to reliability but we're getting there.

    Thanks Doc. It's nice to get an owners feelings rather then just reading online reviews.

    We had a similar experience with our local volvo dealer a couple of months ago. I told him I had a deposit on a D5 basically to show I was a serious potential customer. He was totally uninterested.
