Overview & Reviews

The S80 received a minor refresh this year that includes a modified grille, additional chrome trim and a revised rear fascia for the exterior along with a new gauge cluster and door panels for the interior. Volvo's Four-C adjustable suspension is a new option on all trim levels. All-wheel-drive and front-wheel-drive versions of the 2.5T will be added midyear, but neither can be ordered in conjunction with the Four-C suspension. Finally, the T6 Premier replaces the T6 Elite as the top trim level.

  Very disappointed - 2004 Volvo S80
  By Ken - December 29 - 11:03 am

  After extensive research, we picked the 2004 Volvo S80 cause it seemed reliable and comfortable for my height - 66". Only the 2004-2006 models could I fit in. Since we bought the car from dealership, weve had it in for service 5 times and after the last service where they couldnt fix the acclerating problem when braking, weve decided to cut our losses and find another vehicle. Other problems included seat belt squeaking, windshield wiper timer, headlight adjustment, brakes, and more. Disappointed the car turned out to be lemon.

  A good find - 2004 Volvo S80
  By azsteve - October 14 - 1:46 am

  Having owned many cars in 30 years and many test drives of rentals during business trips I can say that this has been the best car value for me to date. The 2004 2.5T sedan seems to be a good reliable model year. I get 29 MPG average and cant believe the smooth power. Volvo did a perfect job matching the engine and transmission in this model. I have done ALL of my own auto repair and maintenance in past years including engine and transmission rebuilds. Knowing what I know I am very impressed with the build quality and engineering in this vehicle. I am very happy with the comfort, ride quality, climate control, and interior.

  Excellent - This one is # 2 - 2004 Volvo S80
  By t1952 - August 22 - 2:00 am

  This is a great car ! I liked my 2001 model so much that I bought the exact same car, color, and options again in a 2003 model. Cross country trips are a breeze loaded up with the partner and the animals ! Now located in TX, we continue to enjoy this vehicle and will buy another next year. A few changes to the styling would be nice and some more insulation to make it as quiet as a Lexus would be even better. Volvo seats are unbeatable. This one is Volvo # 9 for this family along with many second cars including BMW, MERCEDES, VW, LEXUS, and others.

  Best Volvo yet - 2004 Volvo S80
  By camaro1781 - July 30 - 5:40 pm

  My 2004 T-6 is the fifth Volvo I have owned in the past 15 years. Previous versions are the 240,760 Turbo, S70, and a 2002 S-80. The 2004 is clearly the best Volvo and the best car Ive owned to date. I bought it with 33/k miles and I currently have 82/k on the car. It looks great and handles very well in all the conditions that Minnesota can throw at a car.

  Big Disappointment - 2004 Volvo S80
  By jimmi - June 29 - 12:56 am

  Ive had my car since almost new. For the first couple of years, it performed well. It went through routine maintenance. After 100k, problems started happening. In the last 3 months Ive spent over $4500 on repairs, from buying a new axle, brakes, brushes, repairing leaks...etc. (remind you this car goes through extensive routine service). The car has a nice title, but it comes with a price. Volvo is not the same Volvo weve all knew growing up. Its a Ford 500 :-(. I really dont want to buy a new car, but Im being forced to because I refuse to put another dime on fixing it. Im looking at more practical cars like, honda, acura, toyota, lexus. dont recommend a volvo, new or used.

  Amazed - 2004 Volvo S80
  By greg freiwald - May 19 - 4:13 pm

  Had this car for 30,000 mile. never a problem. Great on ice and snow. Absolutely reliable. Amazing MPG ( 31 on the highway at 75 MPH and 23 in the city)...checked many times. Does everything you would want in a car. Great acceleration (despite what they say)

  My Volvo S80 T6 experience - 2004 Volvo S80
  By David Floyd - May 9 - 4:40 am

  Great road car, excellent fuel economy. Repairs include the heat/ac fan motor and controler, regular maintenance. Very comfortable for me, a 62" 245 lb man to take on a trip. Classic styling, starts whenever I need to go. Wife loves it.

  Great Car - 2004 Volvo S80
  By Kart54 - March 5 - 2:00 am

  I was a confirmed BMW owner. Stopped on the way to buy a new 5 series. Drove the volvo. Beats the BMW hands down. More room inside, better laid out. Climate control actually works. Turbo boost is where you want it,; when your passing another car. All in all a great car

  Volvo S-80 Turbo Outstanding - 2004 Volvo S80
  By cochran - February 2 - 10:00 am

  This car is finally what I wanted. I tried the earlier versions, they didnt quite have it. The new S-80 T6 relaly has the power and acceleration needed in this car. They somehow tinkered with the transmission and gave it more life. The interior is very nice, and comfortable. Lumbar supolrt adkjustments are standard (as is thle moon roof, special transmission, and excellent stereo). Im buying another one this year.
