Finally, bi-xenon headlights are now optional while the top-line Dolby audio system has been upgraded with more speakers and greater amplification.

  Could this car be more fun? - 2004 Volvo V70
  By EvenFaster - December 19 - 2:00 am

  Finally, we found the car that both the wife and I love! She loves the clean lines and stylish interior (especially the dash), the comfort, and the 225-Watt sound system. In addition to these, I love--of course--the performance. I commute 80-miles each day, many of these over windy mountain roads, and the ride is a blast. Knowing that Im driving a car that is both among the safest in the world, and the fastest in its price range, is a great feeling. For those of you who appreciate understatement, youd love this car. A wagon that can take a 540i- unheard of (except that mine did)! Enjoy.

  Used Volvo - 2004 Volvo V70
  By cdona58838 - August 18 - 2:00 am

  We purchased a used 2001 volvo and it has been an excellent car so far. Not only has the car been a smart purchase, but the decision to buy from this dealership was a good one as well. We have had excellent correspondence with them. I would purchase another Volvo later in life. Maybe a sedan afer the children are in college? Great Cars! Cynthia

  So great. It might look ugly but it is spacious. You can fit many people with the seat belts.

  Draginwagon - 2004 Volvo V70
  By mjs - May 20 - 1:50 am

  I used to own the 99V70R and traded it for the 2004. What a difference! Finally, volvo improved on the turbo lag, braking and handling that plagued the earlier version of the R. Athough, my 99 R was still worlds above most every sedan and every wagon on the market at the time. Love the feel of the AWD in hard cornering moving the torque from wheel to wheel through the corners! Awesome!

  3 steps forward, 2 steps back - 2004 Volvo V70
  By tom21769 - February 11 - 10:00 am

  The 2004 V70 (2.4L) is our third Volvo wagon (following a 1990 240 and a 2000 V70.) Exterior styling, cabin ventillation and the center console are all improved. The ride is smoother, more comfortable. Front legroom gains about an inch. Fuel economy is slightly better. And Volvo finally got cupholders right. However, the turning circle gains about 6 feet. Some interior dimensions are smaller. Window rollers are on a hair-trigger. And the decent-sounding stereo has absurdly difficult controls. The car continues to offer exceptional comfort and safety design, but Volvo needs to fix a few more details.

  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.

  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.

  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.
