Looking at a Volvo XC90 vs a BMW X5. Thoughts?

Seen some Volvo love on here lately and it's surprising because I thought the general consensus around here was "LOLvo".
Oh yeah, good call. The Q7 would be in the running for us too except that her sister has one and she doesn't want the same car. I was really surprised by the amount of legroom in the second and third row of the Q7.minetta said:
I have a 2018 XC90 and love it. My mom had an X5 until a year ago, so I have driven and compared both. XC90 is much roomier - 3rd row is legitimate. Both are nice to drive. Volvo safety technology is a huge plus for me, and I prefer the Volvo implementation of CarPlay to BMW's (which is very buggy, at least in wireless form).
Edited to add: Audi Q7 is really nice as well.

Maybe one day I can afford to be in a thread like this
The Volvo looks fantastic.
I've heard the Volvo V8 described on a weekend car show as the 'most complicated V8 every built'Dill-Ag13 said:
That Volvo scares me. 5000lb SUV with a tiny two liter that's both turbo'd and blown... longevity doesn't seem feasible but maybe that's just me being old fashioned.

Q7 third row is completely unusable for a normal size adult.

Is it any more out of whack than an F-150 w/ a 2.7?Dill-Ag13 said:

Candidate for future Mrs Fife's car. Those things hold value like crazy though.schmendeler said:

The outdated interior is worth not having to be in the shop constantlyktownag08 said:
Wife liked the GX until she saw the interior that's badly in need of a refresh.
