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.

  Volvo for Life - 2004 V70R - 2004 Volvo V70
  By RollNR John Miller - July 28 - 12:40 am

  This car is a great all purpose vehicle and HIGH performance for the money. Where can you get a car that will exceed 140 mph and transport 10ft pieces of pipe inside with 4 people. The ride is as good as the road you are driving on!! You have the feel of control at all speeds. The factor of Safety was never lost with this car. This is my fifth Volvo since 1988. The wagon V70R is a sleeper on the road.

  Nit picking - 2004 Volvo V70
  By usmcrg - July 3 - 10:00 am

  This car has the turning radius ofthe Queen Mary. Also there should be a warning BEFORE the purchase that winter tires are necessary, a $700 surprise. The dash clock is difficult to read in most day light hours. The door lock system does not differentaite locking from unlocking. But great handling and performance in sheeps clothing.

  new V70R automatic owner - 2004 Volvo V70
  By kschel - May 15 - 10:00 am

  Owned V70R automatic (not manual, though the web form does not allow any other designation) for a week. Gave up 2003 Passat Wagon GLS 5 speed, which I loved, to get more room so we could seat all 6 in our family. Built in booster seats are great. Very fun to drive, seats extremely comfortable. You can select different settings for suspension depending on whether you want comfort or want to race. This is a lot of car for the money. Reliability remains to be seen.

  our best volvo yet - 2004 Volvo V70
  By wenronian - April 2 - 10:00 am

  This is our best of the 5 Volvos we have owned. Volvo has seemed to work out the minor, yet annoying, electrical problems experienced with their previous cars. This wagon has lots of room, performs well and is very comfortable. We got the integrated booster seats this time and love them!

  This Car Rocks - 2004 Volvo V70
  By KevinLeungPhD - November 7 - 10:00 am

  The V70 T5 excel in every automotive arena. The 247-hp Turbo is a beast on the highway- beating many, many, many cars. Adding the GearTronic will result the winning combination of performance, fun and automotive enjoyment. Fuel economy is excellent- averaging only at 10.5L/100km. Build quality, safety and reliabiliy is undoubtly excellent. The seats are the best you can ever find in the universe. Versatile and agile, the V70 is the Einstein of scientists and the Kristanna Loken of actresses.

  First Volvo is a Winner! - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Gr8pilot - October 19 - 2:00 am

  This is my first Volvo and shares garage space with a Corvette. Both a great fun to drive, very responsive look great and are very comfortable but the Volvo will carry the groceries, kids, dog and still perform like a champ. Not as good on gas as I expected but the trade off for safety and performance is worth it to me.

  Love my Volvo - 2004 Volvo V70
  By fedlawman - July 15 - 10:00 am

  When our CPO 2001 V70 was totaled last May, we didnt think twice about replacing it with another one...this time brand new! We love the comfort, luxury, and style of the V70. Although not a powerhouse, the engine is strong in midrange power, and the smooth auto transmission is a perfect match for the powerband. The kids love the 3rd row jump seats, and we use the SUV-like cargo capacity regularly. Why would anyone spend $30,000+ on an ungainly, ill-handling SUV when they could have a sporty, fine handling luxury wagon?

  An incredible machine! - 2004 Volvo V70
  By jnielsen - June 19 - 2:00 am

  The Volvo V70 combines the fun and precision of a European sports sedan and the functionality of a SUV. Everything in Volvo literature and that the salespeople stated is true. This is one fine automobile.
