This Year's Model Updates:

The S80 received a minor refresh this year that includes a modified grille, additional chrome trim and a revised rear fascia for the exterior along with a new gauge cluster and door panels for the interior. Volvo's Four-C adjustable suspension is a new option on all trim levels. All-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive versions of the 2.5T will be added midyear, but neither can be ordered in conjunction with the Four-C suspension. Finally, the T6 Premier replaces the T6 Elite as the top trim level.

Pros:
  • Loaded with outstanding safety innovations and features, quick on its feet in T6 trim, spacious backseat, soothing ride.
Cons:

  • Great car for low price - 2004 Volvo S80
    By -

    This is my 3rd Volvo over the years and I would say this is the best so far. Great design in and out. Enough room for 4 adults . Very comfortable ride. I am thinking about brand new Volvo S80 now. I would say this car car is way underpriced as a used car.

    So far I really like this car. I have been looking at the Volvo but could never afford it. Now I finally got it and as long as the great Volvo quality stays as high as it is I dont think I can ever drive another brand!

  • Best vehicle made!!! - 2004 Volvo S80

    The 2004 Volvo 2.5 turbo is an excellent car. It is a 5 cylinder turbocharged engine with a 5 speed automatic transmission fwd. It gets great fuel economy(31-33) hwy-(20 city) and has wonderful go!I could never say anything but great things about this vehicle. If you ever have a chance to own one buy it, you will never regret doing so. Mine is white with camel leather a beautiful combination loaded with options. Buy one if someone will part with it, mine stays in the garage and is pampered to keep it as nice as possible.

    I bought my volvo 8 years ago. I have fixed this car so many times. Fixed windows not working three time, motor mount broke, throttle body needed cleaning, lights quit working, I owned three different toyota vehicle and put over 150,000 on each and have not had problems like this in any one of them. Would never ever buy another one

  • Luv that R - 2004 Volvo S80

    I’ve owned my Volvo S60R for a short time, but I love this car. It’s a blast to drive, a sports car in a family sedans skin.

  • Has been great for me! - 2004 Volvo S80

  • Would buy again... - 2004 Volvo S80

    I have a 2004, 2.9L straight-6 (no turbo) Volvo S80 with over 94,000 miles. I am getting about 19mpg city and 26mpg highway; not bad for a 4000lb tank. The seats are EXTREMELY comfortable and the vehicle feels very solid all around. I feel very safe in this car and would not drive anything else because Volvo does not cut corners on safety. They had side airbags STANDARD in 1998, WOW! The American and Japanese automakers cannot touch Volvos safety record. Knock on wood, I havent had anything major go wrong with it, just a broken popup cup holder. Like most cars, the Volvos will love you if you give them some love. Maintain them and you shouldnt worry about reliability.

    I always wanted Volvo due to the fact it is the safest car on the road. When I finally test drove it I was shocked at what a pleasure it was to drive as well. I would recommend this car to anyone.

  • Very happy even years later - 2004 Volvo S80
    By -

    Its unfortunate that these other owners have had a lot of problems. I have had very little problems. My cig lighter will blow every once in a while, but its when Im running 2 chargers at the same time so I just keep extra 20 AMP fuses in the car. The drink holders are no the best designs, but overall I have had no serious problems.

  • Like the Germans Used to Make. - 2004 Volvo S80
    By -

    Despite its attractive exterior, the Swedish Volvo S80 is a sensible no- nonsense sedan like the Germans used to make. Yesterday my neighbor and I were noting how much more my 2004 S80 is like his old Mercedes than the current Mercedes are, both in the Volvos sturdiness and high-quality and in its lack of Jaguar-esque friviolity. If Volvo could have completely refrained from its (admitedly minimal) use of fake wood (or any wood) in the interior, the S80 would be the worlds most perfect car.
