Overview & Reviews

Last year's 2.4T model is now the 2.5T, with the same 208-horsepower engine as the AWD model. New option packages for the 2.5T include Convenience and Special Titanium trim packages -- both bundle a wide variety of desirable features, but the latter includes distinctive exterior cosmetic touches as well. Finally, bi-xenon headlights are now optional while the top-line Dolby audio system has been upgraded with more speakers and greater amplification.

• Superb comfort, wide variety of safety and luxury features, balanced ride and handling characteristics, available all-wheel drive.

• Gets expensive when you start adding options, tight rear legroom, turbo lag and torque steer in T5 model.

  Ultimate Sleeper Car - 2004 Volvo V70
  By SPARTACUS369 - July 25 - 10:00 am

  I have to say this is the most fun to drive wagon! The best part of the car (and there are many) is the sleeper effect it has over other sports cars. Unless the sports car driver beside you knows cars, you can usually get the look of shock from said driver when they get left standing at the lights by a "family" wagon.

  OIL PRESSURE ISSUE - 2004 Volvo V70
  By cyclist57 - July 16 - 6:02 pm

  There is a problem with the oil pan seals that requires attention! My 2004 v70 with 67k flashed the oil warning light twice for a second at a time and then a warning messge NO OIL PRESSURE STOP. 300 feet later I parked the car and then had it towed to the shop...started to place on tow and then to move into the garage....Result was the engine was gone! Oil level was checked after first warning light flash...full! Not real happy as I just bought the car....result is a replacement motor and the oil seals replaced before it was installed....My 2000 v70 never had seals replaced...still does not drip or burn oil at 200k....

  I love this car - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Eric Nelson - April 5 - 10:00 am

  If you can only have a single car, this is the best one to get. The only significant fault is the large turning radius, which you can learn to deal with.It is just as fast as the 540 and S6, but with the following advantages: vs 540 wagon: 540 has no manual tranny, and the V70R has a nicer/larger interior. The 540 is also miserable in the snow due to rear wheel drive, and is 20K more. vs Audi S6: no manual, smaller interior, 20K more, lousy stereo, lousy crash tests, lousy dealers/service.
