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.

  im happy - 2004 Volvo S60
  By stray dog - April 23 - 10:00 am

  I really like this car! Prevously I had an 01 acura TL. THe performance of this car is awsome, the interoir is really nice, the look is great and there are not many on the roads, so whoever owns an awd s60 R will have a special car. The only thing that could be good or bad for the car, is that they are going to make them next year.

  Best Sleeper Ever - 2004 Volvo S60
  By Joshua - April 3 - 10:46 pm

  I love my car. Without effort it hurls itself past other traffic. It stops quickly (very) and straight. It will plow snow out of your way (not deep snow mind you, but it was still impressive to trundle through a 1/4 mile of 6-8" deep snow without issue). It (literally) drove where a well driven Dodge Ram 4x4 with weight in the back could not. If you know where your car is, you wont hit those bits of concrete when you park.. No matter what you do the turning radius stinks, and if someone gives the rims a funny look itll leave a mark. It is a beautiful car in person. Drive one and I suspect youll get one.

  Love it! - 2004 Volvo S60
  By R you ready? - March 24 - 4:36 pm

  I love this car despite the quirks mentioned in other reviews. Its great on the highway, not so great in parking lots, but overall very suitable as a daily driver if you want fun. I love the overall driving experience including the steering wheel, pedals, and seat. In the black sapphire color, with a fresh coat of wax it looks brand new and sexy even after 6 years. The leather looks almost new. I like the rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, 3-position seat/mirror memory, push-button adjustable suspension ("4c"), and wheel- mounted audio controls. The front bumper is too low and the turning radius is awful. My wife thinks the ride is harsh and the seats are too low.

  After 24,000 miles... - 2004 Volvo S60
  By GV3 - February 29 - 2:03 am

  ...glad to report this is a great car. I purchased my 2.4 at the end of the 04 model year from my dealers service fleet. In the two years Ive owned it, it has been completely trouble free; the only $ I have spent is on oil changes. Front seat comfort is outstanding, although rear seating is a bit tight. Not a fast car in terms of 0-60 acceleration, but not slow, either; mid-range acceleration when passing or merging is quite good. Ergonomics are terrific. My other car is a BMW 3-series, which frankly is more fun to drive, but the Volvos comfort is the choice of my wife and I for a longer trip. I traded a C-class for the Volvo, and feel we traded up in comfort and reliability.

  Sporty, Luxury Sedan - 2004 Volvo S60
  By Randy Tibbs - January 23 - 10:00 am

  This car is absolutely solid, very quick and responsive, with its 200 horsepower engine. I really like the AWD in the snow. I got every package/option possible and glad I did. The brakes are really firm and stops the vehicle quickly and evenly. I have owned Cadillacs, Lincolns, Land Rovers and Mercedes. None of them compare in quality, fit and finish. The first time I had the car washed, the attendant said, "this car looks hot, just standing still." This is a great car, but it is really for two people, or maybe two people and a grandson.

  This is not Your Fathers Volvo ! - 2004 Volvo S60
  By Larry A - November 21 - 10:00 am

  The first thing that caught my attention was the fit, feel, and comfort of the seats. The side bolsters just beg you “drive the car”. It’s got to be the sleeper car of the decade. Was at 80 mph in second gear before the end of the entrance ramp. It’s the first time I ever had to slow down to merge onto the I-state. Turbo provides a solid kick in the pants with very little lag. Makes driving FUN. Blue gauges, aluminum accents, and blue stitching are sharp. Salesman said it would seem there was always someones bumper in your face and he was right. This is not your father’s Volvo – it’s my wife’s!

  S60 R Review - 2004 Volvo S60
  By drapolas - October 29 - 10:00 am

  I was looking for a performance sedan for quite some time, and decided to test drive the S60 R just as a joke. After driving it, and learning more about the amazing technology features on board, I couldnt stop talking about it. I usually prefer German and Japanese cars, and I test drove the BMW 330 xi, the Audi A4 3.0, the new S4, and the infiniti G35 coupe. It took me 6 months to finally convince myself that the S60 R was just a better overall package of performance and practicality. It just provide the best of all comfort, performance, fun with the best seats in the automotive industry. The engine is a marvel particularly with the 6 Speed Manual.

  S60 - 2004 Volvo S60
  By Stuliny - October 9 - 10:00 am

  Great car, easy to drive and even the 2.4 has some pep to it. Quiet ride and ROOMY and a pretty decent stock stereo (which was a nice surprise) nice alternative to the other sport sedans out there....bmw overpriced and audi just too small of a cabin

  2004 S60 2.5T - 2004 Volvo S60
  By germayne Holland - October 3 - 5:53 pm

  I just bought this car and it currently has 206,000 highway miles, which I figured out but running a car fax and whoever the owner(s) were prior to me, took very good care of the car. So far I absolutely love my car. When I purchased it, the only thing I had to do is change the spark plugs (NGK Iridium), front sway bar links/stabilizer & the drivers side outter tie rod, with a wheel alignment afterwards. I repeat do not go to the Volvo dealer to service this car. If you have a regular licensed mechanic, that knows Volvos, thats sufficient. I purchased my parts online and then took the car to my mechanic just for the labor. I use mid to premium grade gas, it runs better with the turbo.
