In case you're all wondering, I shot this on a iPhone XS, nearly 3 years old, not the latest model. And didn't use a pro cam app, just grab and go on the standard camera setting. Like I said, I'm on vacation... sort of.

Thanks for another fun "road trip" review, Tom! I've always enjoyed seeing you and your family together. As far as the video quality, even with your iPhone, it was still better than any other KZbin car review, except for "Savage Geese." I appreciate the extra time and care you've always put into your videos. Take care and keep them coming!

I love these videos, let me tell you why. I love that he takes us with him on adventures. Tom gives us real life scenarios when explaining truck space and layouts. I like how he throws in other notable comparisons, these are things that car shoppers won’t know but will be helpful if they are in the market. This review was the best one being that it was shot on an iPhone. I also like that he tells us that he subtly may or may not like a particular vehicle. I appreciate these reviews.

Great review, Tom! Thanks for visiting Oregon. Or as the late, great Governor McCall would say "Welcome to Oregon. Now go home." I love my S90 (used, and so affordable because who wants sedans anymore?) with the incredible B & W sound system, but the V90 Cross Country would be so much nicer, due to the ease of hauling adventure gear. Cruising long distances with those seats, that ride, and that sound system is sublime. Cheers from the Pacific Rim.

Great review and I'm glad you and your family enjoyed the vacation. The complexity of a 4 cyl engine being both supercharged and turbocharged is an obstacle to committing to a new generation Volvo. I'm a serial Volvo owner and my last 2 sedans were totaled by other drivers-thanks for mentioning that the seats are not only supportive and comfortable but are a well engineered constituent in overall vehicle safety. Volvo seats hold up well under stress-they don't accordion nor "submarine" in the event of an accident. Bend is nice... but too many people now. Thanks

Happy to see you are on vacation. Even with an iphone you bring the A-game. The Volvo brand has grown on me: five years ago I wouldn't consider a Volvo as an option and now it's a strong option. That Chinese company that now owns it (Geely I think) has improved the brand and the car lineup.
