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.

Failures - 2004 Volvo S80
By William S. Devey - June 19 - 11:20 pmThis is my second Volvo in 14 years. This model has not been as reliable as my previous 850. Failures to date: tumblers falling out of ignition; passenger mirror simply falling off the car; both trunk support struts broken; ventilation malfunctioning (can be repaired for $1,200 per Volvo dealer); windshield washer not functioning properly (repaired once).

A Near-Perfect Car - 2004 Volvo S80
By spike2 - June 8 - 5:40 pmI never owned a Volvo until I bought this for my wife. It quickly found its way into my hands - a deal I could only swing by agreeing to buy her a new XC70 wagon as a replacement. Neither of us can imagine owning any other brand now. This car is perhaps the most complete vehicle one can own. It has just about everything - unsurpassed safety, good performance, acceptable reliability, room, AWD, the most comfortable seats Ive ever experienced, and an understated elegance. I have around 8000 miles now and have had no problems. Like other reviewers, I now look for any excuse to drive. Despite Fords ownership - this is still a Volvo at heart. I absolutely love it.

One Reliable Fuel-Efficient Tank! - 2004 Volvo S80
By Anthony - August 10 - 6:40 amI bought my first Volvo in 2005. It is a white S80. I cant say enough about the car. My previous car was a Lexus ES300, which I loved. But after moving to the suburbs and ommuting on the highway I decided to go for the safest on I could find. The car moves for a almost 4000 lb tank! The ride is quiet an agressive. It handles like a smaller sportier sedan. The best part is that when some cowboy in a goofy truck rides off my bumper he slowly realizes my white tank is not giving way. I have a 17 ft.great white sharks tooth hanging from the rear view mirror, reminding me of speed, unexpected stealth, and power- and thats what you get in the S80!

another great S80 - 2004 Volvo S80
By doctordick - August 7 - 8:36 amThis is my second S80 and I am not disappointed. The car has been refined and improved but the basic solid comfort and superior performance continue. A pleasure to drive particularly on the highway. Responsive, predictable, dependable. A great vehicle!

Great car for low price - 2004 Volvo S80
By Lince - August 4 - 9:33 amThis 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.

Ive wanted one for years ! - 2004 Volvo S80
By Nathan W - June 27 - 2:00 amSo 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
By keith - April 22 - 10:03 amThe 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.

Would buy again... - 2004 Volvo S80
By colby92 - July 24 - 10:36 pmI 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.
