This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Superb comfort, wide variety of safety and luxury features, balanced ride and handling characteristics, available all-wheel drive.
Cons:
  • Gets expensive when you start adding options, tight rear legroom, turbo lag and torque steer in T5 model.

  • V70R GT - 2004 Volvo V70

    I LIKE THE V70R VERY MUCH.THE QUALITY AND FIT -FINISH SEEMS TO BE VERY GOOD.THE ONLY COMPLAINT THAT I REALLY HAVE IS THAT VOLVO ADVERTISED THE V70R AS HAVING A BETTER PROFORMANCE RECORD THAN IT SEEM TO HAVE.A CAR THAT COST IN THE MID TO HIGH 40S AND HAS A CLAIMED 300 HP SHOULD HAVE BETTER NUMBERS.

    We bought this as a family car. I am so happy we did! We have owned it since it was new- no problems!

    The Volvo V70 is almost perfect. The exterior is a little retro, However the interior is great. The accleleration is great, thank to the turbo!

    I was brousing this site and read the Edwards road test review of a loaded T5 and thought they were talking about a differant car. Ours is now 2 1/2 years old and as tight as new, with ZERO rattles, ZERO poor fits and no dust intrusion whatsoever over our many dirt driveways. The brakes are firm and linear, the power strong and the mileage good. I dont know what you drove, but it sounds like a wreck. And as for the howling tires, did you check the pressure?

    This Volvo is the best of all worlds. This car incorporates the world-class safety of a Volvo, the dependability and quality of a Volvo, the utility of a wagon (without bucking wind and guzzling fuel like an SUV), distinctive good looks (a Volvo is rarely mistaken for any other brand vehicle) and truly, enviromenally friendly fuel economy. But the fun begins when the twin turbo, 5 cylinder engine is fired. With 300 horses this car is a surprise to everyone...including the driver. The "active chassis" AWD adds additional opportunities for fun while increasing the overall safety of this car.

  • My 4th Volvo in my stable - 2004 Volvo V70
    By -

    Volvo continues to deliver me a quality product. I prefer Volvos wagons but also own a C70 HT. My preference is Overseas Delivery, an area where Volvo of Lisle also excells compared with other Chicago dealers I have spoken to. AWD is a blessing in Chicagos snowy 2003 winter and I insist my wife drives the V70 AWD when driving long distance this winter. Her C70 lacks AWD. Low maintenance costs, quiet ride, comfort, roominess and, of course, safety, is why I will stay with Volvo ans why my children also drive Volvo.

  • God I Love Hot Rod Wagons - 2004 Volvo V70

    My biggest problem with this car is that its my wifes to drive on the weekdays. She needs it for the kids. I find myself at work looking forward to the weekend, when I get to drive it. As with any Volvo, its a tank. The brakes are normally quite good, but the V70R brakes stop on half a dime. It feels like it has a lot more than the rated 300 HP. My Bosss S6 wagon just doesnt match it. We have the orange leather interior, which pushes it over the edge to PHAT. Or at least as phat as a Volvo can ever be. A little part of me died when Volve announced this year that they were discontinuing it.

    An outstanding car all the way around. Fun to drive, completely stealthy at the line, and will beat many performance cars before they even know they are near another (since it is a wagon). it is well built and stylish, has great performance, safety, and reliability. OUTSTANDING!

    Other than a very irritating noise when turning left, it is a great car.

  • Awesome! - 2004 Volvo V70
    By -

    I love this car. Very very fast, excellent handling and exceptional braking power. The interior is beautifull..I got the Ti Grey and Nordkap enterior. Great dash and nightime lighting. For 42 k you get great nav system, 320watt stereo, all wheel drive, 300hp and a wagon with a great stick shift!!!! What more do you want?? I do wish it had a slightly tighter turning radius though.
