You bought a rather expensive car and you should not have to suffer from problems like these.
The problems you describe no owner of a quality car should ever experience.

I couldn’t agree more, but I still had problems.

“I couldn’t agree more, but I still had problems.”

- Would you consider buying a Volvo again?

I don’t think so, but I agree that a new XC90 looks appealing.

You suffered from bad luck.

Get yourself a real car. Start your life for real.

Lexus?:) I don’t like flashy things, so Audi/BMW/MB aren’t considered.

I do not see how this is going to work. While Google’s cars have driven hundreds of thousands of miles even through high pedestrian areas there is one place they cannot go. They cannot handle snow. It destroys the landmarks the system uses for navigation. The Google cars can keep track of pedestrians and even dogs but snow really does a job on the system.
