Used 2004 Volvo V70 Consumer Reviews
3rd Volvo wagon / the best yet
3rd Volvo wagon and this is the best one yet. Sure I've 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.
Every days pleasure
My volvo 2.4 t makes it a pleasure every day I drive to my work.

It's Been Fun
Sometimes there is a bright and fun momemt when I remember what this car will do. Mostly it is used in normal service where it functions admirably. But when it has the opportunity it is a brilliant and extremely well balanced road car. I love it. My only complaint is that Volvo-Ford copped out on the interior stuff--too much plastic especially.
2004 V 70
I ordered my V 70 and gotit the last of June 03.Drove it on a 4500 mile trip in October.Got 32 mpg on flat land through the desert and 27 to 29 in the mountains.So far with almost 10k on the clock absoutly 0 problems. Most comfortable leather seats i've ever seen in a vehicle.Smooth and quiet ride with no wind noise ,even at 100 mph, with sports car like handling.Very responsive road manners.This makes my 3rd Volvo,since 1978
Frequent Breakdown
I previously owned the 2001 V70 T5, I loved the feel and performance but as the car approached the end of warranty period, break-downs became more and more frequent. So I thought I would give Volvo a second chance. I got a 2004. I have less than 1000 miles on my 2004 and it is in the shop with a major problem. Unless you have a butler that can spend his time driving back and forth to get maintenance, I would choose another manufacturer.
