Overview & Reviews
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.
- Loaded with outstanding safety innovations and features, quick on its feet in T6 trim, spacious backseat, soothing ride.

My 2nd Volvo - 2004 Volvo S80
By Francis - July 9 - 1:30 amThe S80 was my second Volvo.What influenced my purchase was the Edmunds information which said the 2004 had 700 enhancements, most of which you could not see. This was the first model year that Volvo replaced the 2.9 6cyl with their famed 2.5T/ 5cyl engine. The recommended fuel is premium but the cars computer consistently shows 25-26 mpg combined city/hwy driving. Almost no perceptible Turbo lag when you press on the gas.This is great considering the car weighs 3,600 lbs.

Never Again - 2004 Volvo S80
By Robert Linscott - June 11 - 10:00 amS80 2.9 - 2000: This car has been a total headache for our family. The car is always falling apart. Electrical night mare, from lights to locks to sensors. Hub bearings X 5, sunroof falling apart, hub bolts falling out twice while on vacation, broken coils spring, faulty fan motor for radiator, oil flame seal bad, and a bad motor mount. So much for the flagship of Volvo. The S80s market value is poor and still is rated as less than average for the 2004. No wonder the BMW and Mercedes lines are so popular. My first volvo and definitely my last -never, never again. Waltrip Volvo in Nashville area loves to see me, and my checkbook on a regular basis.

fantastic car searching for its soul - 2004 Volvo S80
By milano-michigan - December 31 - 10:00 amThis is a remarkable car. Outsatnding MPG on the highway (29 @ 80 miles per hour), above 20 in town...very comfortable (a little bit "spartan", though) easy to drive, cruises very nicely, does everything right....it just does not have the "solid" feeling, nor sporty feeling of a BMW or Mercedez. It always gives you the impression the "power is not going to be there...but it is.
