Overview & Reviews

Last year's 2.4T model is now the 2.5T, with the same 208-horsepower engine as the AWD model. Bi-xenon headlights are a new option, while the sport package for the 2.5T includes speed-sensitive power steering.

• Superb comfort, wide variety of safety and luxury features, balanced ride and handling characteristics, available all-wheel drive.

• Handling lacks true sport sedan precision, expensive optional equipment, turbo lag and torque steer in the T5 model.

  Vroom, vroom... - 2004 Volvo S60
  By vizwiz - January 13 - 10:00 am

  Fantastic ride. Nice supple comfort when I am driving the in-laws around in "Comfort" mode. Great family driver also, with all the safety/comfort features (my 5 year old keeps egging me on to go faster and swerve around corners :-). When the wife and kid are not in the car, it gives me 300HP and plenty of oomph to embarass all sorts of other cars out there.

  32,000 miles - 2004 Volvo S60
  By Bodie - December 22 - 6:46 am

  Over 2 years ownership now-premium and sport packages. Pros: very comfortable seats, doesnt look like everything else on the road, reliability, decent performance. cons: turning radius is terrible (my 2005 tacoma double cab is easier to park than the volvo) glove compartment rattles on bumps, road noise. Overall I cant complain, my wife likes her ride, and have had no mechanical issues yet. I enjoy the sport shift when I drive it. I still would have chosen the Acura TL if it were my choice. We also tested the BMW 325, infiniti G35, Mercedes 230 and Acura TL.

  An Outstanding Experience - 2004 Volvo S60
  By Chicklett - December 19 - 10:00 am

  I am driving a premium pkg. option dark blue, black leather interior. It is a fabulous ride, my first volvo and I am hooked ! The car is extremely fun to drive with a lot of zip. The turbo engine option was a good choice for me. This is Not a family car unless you have babies. The back seat is very cramped especiaklly if there are two regular sized adults sitting in the front. The wagon would be a better option. The sound system is superb and I am very impressed with the resale values.

  Wow! - 2004 Volvo S60
  By Rrrreally Nice - December 13 - 10:00 am

  Just got my S60R. Wow! Silver with the blue interior is the way to go. The blue leather is not as loud as in the brochure. Acceleration and handling are excellent, and the seats are much more comfortable than the BMW 5 series.

  Great Value - 2004 Volvo S60
  By GOIrish - December 13 - 10:00 am

  Exceptional value for the Money. Looked at M3, S4, G35, TL, C32AMG, A4, 330i, 330xi and you just cant beat or match the performance and AWD received from the Volovo at its price level. Not as fast as M,S or AMG versions but faster then all the rest. Insurance costs for this car also make it more attractive then the burners.

  3 Tome Winner - 2004 Volvo S60
  By EFS - December 13 - 10:00 am

  We looked at Mercedes C230 series and Lexus ES 330. There is no comparison in integrity and safety. The 16 inch wheel package adds to the great looks. The heavier glass is a surprising plus in quietness. Even without the turbo there is plenty of power. 100% satisfied with the car. The dealership, unfortunately has some service problems. I have never had a Volvo that didnt go 250,000 miles. I expect no less from this one.

  Its a Nice car But - 2004 Volvo S60
  By Omajacks - November 23 - 7:40 pm

  I Purchased my S60R in Jan 05. I bought it for the safety, Comfort and Looks. However I have had a few Problems with it like the breaks (when they really get wet they let you and anybody with in 1 city block know it from the screaching it makes, Volvo has looked at multiple times and has yet to fix it.), Turning radius (if I had test driven this car better like in a parking lot I wouldnt have bought it it turns like a semi.) and the front bumper (Dont touch any parking bumpers with both your front tires, Ive done it twice and both times when backing out it has pulled off my bumper and stretched out the bottom of my bumper. ie. a 900 dollar replacement job). Other then that not bad.

  Swede Speed - 2004 Volvo S60
  By Bullit - November 7 - 10:00 am

  An awsome performer, that could take the likes of BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz. Although not quite as refined as the above makes, its definately unique and could give a run for the money. Best Volvo ever built

  Very Surprised - 2004 Volvo S60
  By listen105 - October 8 - 10:00 am

  Audi A4, Saab linear and aero, and BMW 325i models were the cars I was test driving as a potential second car (have 4x4 for winter conditions and needed cargo space). I drove 04 S60 turbo on a lark, and was completely not expecting the speed (have an old Volvo wagon turbo also -should not have been TOO surprised I guess) at such quiet acceleration. It was a complete surprise to drive - for under 30K US dollars, a true bargain.
