  • Why I like my Volvo... - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    I have been very pleased with my XC70! I need my car to be able to handle well in the mountains and on the highway, and it does both very well. It grips the road for great control on wet or dry pavement, plus has great brakes and very good acceleration at high speeds. I often have 6+ friends in the car and Im able to fit 3 of them in easily. Also, the solid construction allows for a quiet ride and the seats are very comfortable!

  • Bought 2 will buy more - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    I had to dump my 2000 XC because of continuing problems. I almost didnt buy another but my wife wanted to try a new model. I bought a 2004 with 18000 miles. I have to admit. huge change. Good engine power, seats, and lots of room. I have had zero problems with the 2004 and Volvo has kept me around for a few more years. Great in the snow and rain. I actually had to save a friend that got stuck in his Tahoe. Mine just rolled right thru 5 inches of snow, no problem. Hint: you need good tires. XC70 will eat tires if you dont rotate them every 5000 miles.

  • Best of the Breed - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    With the exeption of mediocre service from the dealer, this is an excellent car. Lots of Winter driving on back roads; good control; comfortable; more interior carrying space that all of the mid-sized SUVs weve driven; no comparison to the XC90 which is tinny and poorly assembled. Ive had Jeeps (dumped two before they had 30k), Subarus (not bad, but just not as good), Pathfinders (the 94 was the bes); Saabs (100 mph up the hill in my drive, standing still); Recommend this car.

  • From Mercedes ML320 to Volvo XC - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    Loved the comfort and ride of this car. Went from Mercedes ML320 to this. Improved gas mileage, comfort and relability. The car handles great and has great creature comforts. Went for safety and proven track record and longevity. I feel I will get it in this car.

  • 2004 XC 70 six -month review - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    Went to Volvo in August 2004 after very unpleasant ownership regarding a Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD. The Volvo has good styling, interior appointments are good- exceptional (leather quality), with the seat comfort exceptional. Fair to good performance, with handling very good. There does appear to be certain "blind spots" when turning sharply or backing up. Interior noise levels are minimal.

  • I"d buy another one ! - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    Overall good solid vehicle. I went from a mercedes to this volvo. Volvo is more comfortable for my commute and more practical for all those trips to costo and the nursery and the vet.

  • Best Car Ive driven - 2004 Volvo XC70
    By -

    Bought the car in Germany after direct comparisons to Mercedes and Audi wagons. Best car Ive ever driven and also best value for the features. Military pricing and home shipment was great! Smooth autobahn car, solid as a rock and quiet through 120 mph. Starts to float above 125 mph, but holds a straight line without drift. Very comfortable seats, huge interior space, great controls. Love the rain sensor, heated mirrors (needed both in Germany). My first Volvo and Im very pleased. My next car (10+ years from now) will also be a Volvo. Since the kids will be bigger, Ill be eyeing the S60R.
