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.

  Love This Car - 2004 Volvo V70
  By REB - April 28 - 11:56 am

  300 HP performance while still averaging 22 mpg with mixed highway/city driving is amazing! We now have over 25,000 miles on the car and it is great. The auto transmission robs you of quite a bit of power compared to the manual.

  Beware of electrical failure - 2004 Volvo V70
  By weaserman - February 13 - 10:00 am

  I love the car and it will make you feel very safe while driving. Its great in bad weather and is extremely comfortable. My only gripe with this car is funny things happen i.e light bulbs burn out once every 6 months and out of nowhere the electric door locks dont work then the high beams dont work, then out of nowhere they start to work again...freaky stuff.

  "Smart" car - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Concerned Husband - January 1 - 10:00 am

  There are numerous issues with this car in our experience. For one thing, it is "needy"! The constant in-dash warnings about servicing, oil changes, bulb placement problem (no clue what that means, it comes on and then goes off periodically), check-up times, etc., are a bit maddening. The cruise control would not work for some period, we had it into the dealership twice and of course they said it was working (it wouldnt misbehave for them), finally they realized they had to replace the pressure device at the brake pedal...

  3rd Volvo wagon / the best yet - 2004 Volvo V70
  By Surf SD - November 17 - 10:13 pm

  3rd Volvo wagon and this is the best one yet. Sure Ive had a few minor issues, but the dealer quickly repaired all. Wish I had gotten the 6 spd for the full 300 hp car is rated for, but 245hp in 1st & 2nd is still adequate and it flies on the freeway. Very comfy front seats, great stock stereo, AWD safety and I avg about 22mpg around town and 25-28mpg on trips. Very Refined car, a nicer dashboard is about the only thing I would want along with a better turning radius.

  new V70 R - 2004 Volvo V70
  By JRL - November 14 - 10:00 am

  Ive only owned it for a couple of weeks so I ant podt any long or even short term problems. Car is neat except for the seats. Thsy made the R seats with very aggresive bolsters which make it VERY uncomfortable after only a half hout of driving. Ive already taken it to an uhpolstory shop and had the seat modified. (I removed some of the bolstering.) A shame to have to cut into a 44K car

  V70R- bargain performance - 2004 Volvo V70
  By bart - May 17 - 7:20 pm

  Its a great car and a great highway cruiser but ditch the stock tires which only last 15K and get some pilots. I had an audi allroad before which had better build quality but the v70r seats are the best in the industry and the mileage is much better here. the ride is rough.

  Excellence in a performacne wagon - 2004 Volvo V70
  By v70rNJ - May 14 - 2:00 am

  After 3900 miles, with summer and winter tires, car is broken in and mpg is right up there as advertised. Excellent acceleration in all 6 gears (at least below 100 mph - I havent had it up into triple digit land). Seats are outstanding providing you dont need to lose weight, they are firmly bolstered. Sport mode 4C is excellent, comfort good for long hails on the interstates or if you have back seat passengers. Braking, overall handling dry, wet, crosswinds, all excellent.
