When our CPO 2001 V70 was totaled last May, we didn't think twice about replacing it with another one...this time brand new! We love the comfort, luxury, and style of the V70. Although not a powerhouse, the engine is strong in midrange power, and the smooth auto transmission is a perfect match for the powerband. The kids love the 3rd row jump seats, and we use the SUV-like cargo capacity regularly. Why would anyone spend $30,000+ on an ungainly, ill-handling SUV when they could have a sporty, fine handling luxury wagon?

The mechanical design needs more help from engineering, already I have problem with the stabilizer bars this is the second time with two different years cars..Many of my friends who have bought a V70 have said to me the quality has decreased in the past years.

The 2004 V70 (2.4L) is our third Volvo wagon (following a 1990 240 and a 2000 V70.) Exterior styling, cabin ventillation and the center console are all improved. The ride is smoother, more comfortable. Front legroom gains about an inch. Fuel economy is slightly better. And Volvo finally got cupholders right. However, the turning circle gains about 6 feet. Some interior dimensions are smaller. Window rollers are on a hair-trigger. And the decent-sounding stereo has absurdly difficult controls. The car continues to offer exceptional comfort and safety design, but Volvo needs to fix a few more details.

I love the car and it will make you feel very safe while driving. It's 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 don't work then the high beams don't work, then out of nowhere they start to work again...freaky stuff.

Actually I got some problems with my car only one week after purchasing it. I had to leave it at my local workshop. But since then everything has been working fine. I really feel that this is a good car. It drives very quiet, the design is nice, etc. Volvo is definitely quality.
