  I REALLY love this car - 2004 Volvo V70
  By vspady - October 23 - 12:30 am

  Full-size comfort, sports car handling, safety to the nth degree, gorgeous at the curb and twice as beatiful accelerating from a dead stop. this car handles like a dream, is comfortable, while being nimble AND stable. really a great performance ride with maximum comfort and that great cop-proof volvo cache (yes, we really do fly below the radar). this is my 5th volvo, and far and away my favorite. fun, safe, comfortable, and gorgeous. no complaints on maintenance or ergonomics. all around a fantastic car.

  Three shortcomings on 2004 Volvo V70 - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Florida tennisplayer - July 30 - 10:00 am

  My Volvo V70s worst, and potentially dangerous feature, is the tilt of the windshield. The top of the windshield is reflected in the window, making it very, very difficult to see the road when the sun hits the windshield at a certain angle. Second worst feature is the curve of the hood which does not permit the driver to see where the car ends. The hood just disappears and you have no idea how much room there is between the front of the car (or the right hand side of the car) and a wall or other object. These two items represent very poor design. Thirdly, on several occasions the car doors locked accidentally while driving.

  Simply Irresistable! - 2004 Volvo V70
  By JP - June 4 - 7:23 am

  My Volvo is now 6 years old with 97,000 miles, so I decided it was time to trade for a new car. I have been car shopping for over a week, looking at Audi, Saab, Cadillac, BMW, Infiniti, Lexus etc. I have test driven over a dozen cars, each time hoping I have found "the one". But based on features, performance, MPG and most every measure I can think of, I just cant find any car that can compare with my V70R. I am really stumped, but have concluded that I already have the best vehicle for the money. It still runs great and has no rattles. So instead I just bought a new set of tires and a fresh oil change. I really do want a new car, but cant find anything that qualifies as a "move up".

  Wouldnt trade it for the world.... - 2004 Volvo V70
  By XCowner - April 19 - 10:00 am

  Had the Saab, and the Land Rover, this by far gives me seven seats and power, but outstanding turning radius, get-up, and comfort. Will always be a Volvo owner now. Easy on the pocket for gas and insurance too.--Lots to offer

  New V70R - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Dans_V70 - January 22 - 2:00 am

  First Volvo was an abandoned 1958 PV544. Towed to my college apartment, started the PV544 and it ran with absolutely no problems for three years. However, the 70’s and 80’s weren’t to kind on Volvo quality and I soon discovered Japanese auto value. So why the V70R? For one thing Japanese cars are a commodity. High quality commodity for sure, but not very unique character. Also, I missed having the versatility of a wagon. I just picked up the V70R. Its exactly what I was looking for. Unique combination of luxury, safety, practicality, and pure adrenaline rush with 300 HP and super low-end torque. This car is a joy to drive.

  Frequent Breakdown - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Less than happy - November 16 - 10:00 am

  I previously owned the 2001 V70 T5, I loved the feel and performance but as the car approached the end of warranty period, break-downs became more and more frequent. So I thought I would give Volvo a second chance. I got a 2004. I have less than 1000 miles on my 2004 and it is in the shop with a major problem. Unless you have a butler that can spend his time driving back and forth to get maintenance, I would choose another manufacturer.

  What a daily dream!! - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Raccareddie - October 19 - 10:00 am

  I recently traded my 2000 V70 for the v70R I had admired for some time. I have put 4K on the car and love to drive it everywhere. I need some tuner sound and Ill really be in heaven.

  Who Needs an SUV - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Gary K - October 16 - 2:10 am

  I bought my 2004 V70 to replace an Explorer which was a second car, when after a bad accident in another car I realized I would have suffered serious injury or worse in my SUV. What a great car! Very stylish, very fast (my other cars are Jag and BMW coupes) and this no sacrifice in the performance department, especially for a wagon. But, its so comfortable to drive and gets great gas mileage 17/28 compared to 9/14 for my Explorer. I cant imagine why anyone who doesnt absolutely NEED the extreme size of an SUV (hear that all you soccer moms?) wouldnt get a Volvo wagon instead. Fit, finish, build quality and materials are on par with my BMW. Love this car! Id never have another SUV

  Take a test drive u wont be sorry - 2004 Volvo V70
  By JLZ - September 22 - 2:00 am

  I traded in my old A6 Avant. This is an excellent car, Always makes you feel confindent to step on the gas. In bumper to bumper traffic you are pampered by one of the best sound systems on the market and a comfort set suspension. On the open road you can gun it, the suspension and stearing are flawless. And best of all very few people know what you got under the hood. GREAT CAR!!!!!
