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:

  • Strongly recommend - 2004 Volvo S80

    Overall this car has been a pleasure to drive, and has made me feel much more comfortable about driving on the road with the fleet of SUV tanks. The inside is comfortable and spacious, and the seats are soft and luxurious. The S80 has a super smooth ride, and handles like a sports car, so I get a good feel for the road. Its lines are sharp and it has a more unique look than other luxury cars. The two biggest problems I have are the acceleration and the side view mirrors. You need to exert too much pressure on the gas pedal to move the car from a stand-stil. The side view mirrors are a joke, they are so small.

  • Everything I wanted!!! - 2004 Volvo S80
    By -

    I have had two other volvos in the past. My last one was the 850 turbo. I did alot of research before I bought this car and have been nothing but pleased with my decision. The car is everything I wanted! It is fun, safe and beautiful. What a ride! The car gets alot of looks and many compliments. It rides smooth and is so comfortable. I just get in it and ride around the block just because it feels so awesome. Volvos are pure class and I feel I couldnt have picked any better! Treat yourself and go get one and Enjoy what life has to offer!

  • S80 AWD - 2004 Volvo S80

    AWD is impressive in untreated snow- covered roads (3"). Able to stop, start, and climb hill without difficulty. Bi-Xenon headlamps are a must for rainy night-time driving. Speed sensitive steering makes parking a breeze. I looked at BMW 5; Lexus ES330 and Audi 6. I feel I made the best choice for price, comfort and convenience items. My passengers are impressed with the comfort (back seat has leg room!) Gas mileage has been 19.4 for many short stops; 27 for highway driving. Its a pleasure to drive with the comfort and engine power.

  • Nice car - 2004 Volvo S80

    This is my second T6. The first was a 2000 that I leased. I am buying the 2004. I have found many subtle improvements. Car continues to feel substantial. I drive almost 100 freeway miles daily. Feel safe. Good handling. Great look.

    The Volvo S80 is the most comfortable car I have ever driven and that is including virtually all production "luxury cars". The old design 2.9 engine is plenty strong enough for me. If I could change anything it would be to reduce wind noise although it is not bad but not as good as Lexus or S series Mercedes. It has a very solid feel and to this point I have had no problems with this car.

  • Never thought about a Volvo - 2004 Volvo S80
    By -

    I have never owned a volvo or have know anyone to own a volvo. Was working with a dealer and he talked me in to driving one. Wow!! I was hooked from that point on. It drives great looks good and has all the pick up that I need. Had my heart set on a Lexus, but not after driving the Volvo. Love it and will look for another one when I need a car. I have taken it on 2 long trips already and I get over 30 miles to the gallon. If you havent driven one dont wait. It is very comfortable and Im not a little guy either.

  • Volvo S-80 T6 - 2004 Volvo S80
    By -

    3 months search ended with Volvo S-80 T6 (option: climate and xenon, no four C available in the area). Volvo was not even in my original list. I was looking at E class, 5 series, A6 (all 2004). Also compare it to 2004 acura tl, saab 95/93. None compare to volvo value (5k below MSRP with factory incentives - thanks Edmunds), comfort (most comfortable seat) and initial quality (check the finish especially around the trunk)

  • A Volvo can be fun!!! - 2004 Volvo S80
    By -

    Every three years I get to change cars through my company car lease program. Ive done the Bimmers, Benz, Jags, etc. but this time around the Volvo really caught my eye. I first took a close look at the S80 T6 when I went to turn my Jaguar S-Type back in to the dealership (who also happened to be a Volvo dealer). Once I got the S80 out for a test drive, my mind was made up. Who would have thought that a front- wheel Volvo could be so much fun to drive!!! Ive had to put up with a few old guy jokes from friends when I told them I went Volvo but their criticisms usually stop once they come for a ride.

  • What a steal! - 2004 Volvo S80
    By -

    I leased a new S80 a few months ago and I got a better deal than you could imagine! I had an S80 before this one and I leased it for $500 a month but when that came off lease I got a new one for $390. I was considering an Acura RL, Lexus GS and an Audi A6 but none of them compared in value. I found the volvo the most comfortable and I love the T6 engine, although it was not worth $150 more a month.
