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.

  Wolf in sheeps attire - 2004 Volvo V70
  By granitehead - July 10 - 10:00 am

  Have had this vehicle for 4wks at this point and have been very pleased. The car performs well (6sp MT, those with the geartronic auto have poorer performance). The handling is great, with a clear change with the suspension settings. The car corners very nicely, and is smooth at high speed. The interior is great...functional and full of comforts. The integrated child seats are a must for those bringing the kids along for the ride. This is a wolf in sheeps attire.

  Never buy Volvo again - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Horrible - May 5 - 10:06 pm

  This car has had twice as many problems in three years than all of the other cars I have owned combined. Sticky valve,tires rubbing (which Volvo says is normal),squels in rain,brakes squel,transmission hesitation, numerous software fixes..... Volvo service is horrible. You have to prove over and over to them that there is a problem but they just dont want to do warranty work. The turning radius is just slightly better than an air craft carrier. The horsepower numbers for the automatic are not even close to advertised. I regret ever taking a chance on this vehicle and I will never buy Volvo again.

  Fabulous! - 2004 Volvo V70
  By KB, Bethesda MD - February 15 - 10:00 am

  Leased this Silver R, automatic, in August, 03 as my 99 T5 lease was coming due, after looking at Avant Wagon, Toureg, and lots of others. Had All-Season tires put on as a condition of lease and the car is fantastic. It sticks to the road in all weather and at all speeds. Never any wheel spin -- it just digs in and goes like a bat out of hell. 15k so far and no service issues.

  Volvo V70R a fun sleeper - 2004 Volvo V70
  By A. Hanlon - December 7 - 3:13 pm

  Fun Wagon. Quick, fast with 155 mph top end. Handles great. Functional. A great looking sleeper car. Great seats. Many a parking valet has said cool wagon, if you need a wagon this is the way to go. Automatic is not as quick as manual. Volvo should not have decreased torque. Plus its safe since its a Volvo.

  Hard to find parts out of the dealer,part to expensive. Avoid unnecessary and expensive dealer service. Their support is less than desirable.

  re review - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Jim L - October 14 - 2:00 am

  I posted above in a different name and have found that I really LOVE this wagon more and more every day. Yes, I did have to do a slight mod on the seat for my back and the headlights (high beams) are still poor but overall this wagon is a blast to drive and has been 100% reliable now with nearly 5K on it. Wonderful cruiser, I make excuses to drive it, and am driving it much faster than I should be as at speed, its just wonderful.(and very usful in all catagories) Jim

  Quick for a brick - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Marcel van Dijk - August 11 - 8:50 pm

  This is the best car that I ever owned. It has the room for a family to visit the inlaws, but when you are alone, "it is a blast". 150 Mph and it is nailed to the ground. Love it! I have the Geartonic, next time it will be a manual.

  Great Car - 2004 Volvo V70
  By domino2004 - June 2 - 2:00 am

  What a great car ! We had a 2002 Passat Wagon GLX 4 Motion and I was looking for more performance. We found the Volvo V70R, which meets every expectation for high performance vehicle in a wagon at good price. Buy it
