Xc60 or xc90?

[Supernova190188]

Thinking of buying a Volvo, could do with the room and safety for young family.
My budget would be no more than £10k really, I was originally fancying an xc60, the wife likes them too but now I keep thinking of going for an xc90.
I’m after a comfy, reliable car with decent space. I’d guess at my budget would get a 2010-12 car.
Does anyone have experience of both and which was preferable?

I test drove a 2014 xc60 the other day, wonderful car actually, found it really nice to drive and very comfortable, so looking at that, I’ve also seen a 2013 pre update for sale, 100k miles, good spec but it’s a D4, so not sure whether the 50hp difference might be too much as the D5 I test drove seemed to shift surprisingly well! Or whether it will be adequate and if not then get it mapped to give it a bit more poke.
Are there any downsides to the D4 against the D5 except for the power loss and actually the slightly higher tax.

I’ve made the leap and purchased a 2015 XC60 D5 SE LUX. Really is a lovely car and hopefully should be a good family vehicle for a few years yet!

Pictures required. If it’s got Nav it might be an SE Lux Nav like my old one which was a 65 plate.

Ah yes I forgot about the nav! It is an se lux nav! Won’t be picking it up for a week or so but will get some pics when I do!
