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.

Who Needs an SUV - 2004 Volvo V70
By Gary K - October 16 - 2:10 amI bought my 2004 V70 to replace an Explorer which was a second car, when after a bad accident in another car I realized I would have suffered serious injury or worse in my SUV. What a great car! Very stylish, very fast (my other cars are Jag and BMW coupes) and this no sacrifice in the performance department, especially for a wagon. But, its so comfortable to drive and gets great gas mileage 17/28 compared to 9/14 for my Explorer. I cant imagine why anyone who doesnt absolutely NEED the extreme size of an SUV (hear that all you soccer moms?) wouldnt get a Volvo wagon instead. Fit, finish, build quality and materials are on par with my BMW. Love this car! Id never have another SUV

Take a test drive u wont be sorry - 2004 Volvo V70
By JLZ - September 22 - 2:00 amI traded in my old A6 Avant. This is an excellent car, Always makes you feel confindent to step on the gas. In bumper to bumper traffic you are pampered by one of the best sound systems on the market and a comfort set suspension. On the open road you can gun it, the suspension and stearing are flawless. And best of all very few people know what you got under the hood. GREAT CAR!!!!!

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

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