The inside is very nice. Has a lot of miles on it but still runs good. Love the sunroof. This car holds up good in an accident. Very expensive to maintain and fix though.

Will run forever with little upkeep.
Excellent performance. . . One of best brands built runs for many more than average cars not unusual for Volvo to have well over 300, 000 miles on it. . Solid quiet engine powerful engine good gas mileage incredibly comfortable drive. . . The car of the e intelligent free thinker that's outside of the box drive these cars. . . Subtle simple style understated luxury. One of top cars on the road proud to drive and 'proud to be seen driving reeks of understated success.

Keep it running not let it set long the turbo gas backs up an when it starts.
Transmission slipped a little, it is a turbo an it really performs well being one of the safest cars on the road. Very comfortable seats adjust well the interior design makes it sporty the sound system is incredible greatly bass acoustic.

Old reliable the car that never stops
It's getting older so it has a few problems. Parts for Volvo's are a bit expensive but I'm happy with the way my car runs. I have tons of miles on it and it's still ready for more. I've taken good care of the car since I had it so the interior is still in great condition. It's a very reliable car nothing to special.

Really well used and loved Volvo the needs work
My vehicle is actually really an awful car. It's a manual engine, which means great gas mileage . But has over 250,000 miles on it. The back paneling is peeling off. Needs an alignment

Personal review on Volvo s60 year 2004.
Interior cream leather is extremely comfortable with heated seats. Sun roof is lovely. Wish there was a bit more room in the backseat area but the car rides great. Gas mileage is not awful, but does require/prefer premium fuel. I have had to replace the throttle positioning sensor which was inexpensive but when that went wrong, the car was not driveable. Overall I love the car, love Volvo. They make very strong and reliable vehicles. My s60 currently had over 172, 000 miles and is running like a champ.

It needs a lot of work done to it.
It's fine just needs a lot of fixing up and it's turning radius sucks. The transmission sucks and needed to be replaced and the tires always have to be replaced more than usually. Oh the alignment always goes out. I uses a lot of gas too. Oh and it heating seats don't always work.

I have had it for several years and it has never broken down -- unlike some cars that I have had in the past.
It is very dependable. It is good on gas. It is nice-looking. It is paid off. I dislike that it is a little hard to get into now that I am older.

Premium gas and synthetic oil only.
The reliability is good and it is a really good gas saver. It's a luxury car. It has a very high performance and hasn't let me down yet. Checking oil often is a must.

Volvos are great vehicles but not the cheapest to maintain
Very comfortable, stylish, reliable, durable. Not the cheapest to fix, but doesn't need fixing often. Would like to keep it till I can no longer drive but it needs some pretty major repairs, ie ASB fail & dash cluster FAIL. No time or space to do work myself & keep forever.

It is reliable I have had very few issues with it.
I love the horsepower that it has while not being a sports car. I do not like the cup holders and the lack of legroom in the back.

Style performance safe fun luxury
Well I'd love to say that it came with no problems but it didn't but the problems it came with for buying a 15 yr old s60 was the headlights one of them needed to be changed and I hate changing anything that has more than one because if you change just the one thats out of course just down the road the other is going to go so I wanted to change both headlights but didn't due to the cost of 495.00 ya so 120$ to change the burnt passenger side and the front passenger window is off the track also had the original battery changed because it was so dead it couldn't hold a charge strong enough to start it and the running tail lights were out so that was the only problems i had when i bought it at a cost of 1,400 bucks @333,000 kph but then i found out that it was a i5 t5 with the sport package and has all the exstras too so I am realy happy to have gotten such a sweet car for as cheep as i did and only having to change small things like bulbs and battery well any car at that age would have needed those changed but one problem that I did have was driving from Vancouver to kelowna my temperature started to climb really fast and i noticed that my car was getting very humid then i realized it was my coolant and pulled into a station that I just so happened to be passing to open my hood to see the hose just came off the top of the radiator and i had the fastest coolant flush ever. But 30 bucks of 50/50 coolant and a flathead screwdriver and I was on the road again. Plus i had only put 50$ of 94 octane fuel in to top up my tank and drove 400 and some kilometers and i still had 3/4 of a tank so realy good fuel economy and powerful to going over the mountains I'd have to say it is the best car i have ever bought and i love sports cars my first was an 81 trans am and then i bought a 79 datsun 280zx 2+2 and loved that car so much i bought a second one then a 85 fz750 bike and then the s60 so i would tell anyone to buy one because of my time in one was grate

The color which is blue shows the lines of the car really good!
We have problem with the right front window and the right door. It seems the window is not in the mechanism anymore and the door does not open. The performance are still really good for a 14 year old car. My Volvo is really comfortable to drive.

Easy to maintain, comfortable and reliable to drive for long term.
The car has very comfortable seats for long trips. Has had very few major repairs, mainly preventive maintenance and still has hot heater, ice cold ac and same power and still good gas mileage for its age. Would upgrade to a newer model with no regrets.

Nice, comfortable Volvo, needs to be taken into shop.
My car is grey, it has heated leather seats. My battery is in the trunk and it is sometimes a pain. I think my transmission is going out so it keeps stalling on me, but other than that it is reliable. It is very comfortable to sit in and drive. It has a sunroof, witch is really nice. The back seat is a bit small so when my friends sit in the car it is a bit hard to fit them in there.

Reliable, well built car with quirky parts
My Volvo ha does quite nicely, it had a few things to fix being a used vehicle but nothing major. Parts are the major headache with getting it fixed unless you have someone who will take parts you purchased. It rides very smoothly, turns very smoothly. The on wheel controls are a godsend. You can control the radio, cruise control, and other things. It has plenty of space for even a large man like myself and several other people. And excellent gas mileage drove 450 miles from MD to Ohio on a tank of gas

Battery
Love my 2004 S60 Volvo. Lately having battery issues. Two new batteries over three months, still dies. Found a Mouse Tracker from a previous owner and thought this was causing the drain. No,battery still dies - no rhyme or reason - any advice?

Reliable used car, runs smoothly
I purchased my car used (with 145,000 miles) and it's run smoothly for almost two years now. It's been in the shop only once, for a fairly minor issue, and even though it's getting old, it's been quite reliable for me.

I would highly recommend Volvo s60.
Even though my car is 15 years old, is rides smoothly and rarely has problems. A downside to this car is that it does not ride smoothly in the snow and living in the north east, that is something to consider when purchasing this vehicle. Overall, I like my Volvo s60 and would recommend it to others.

Volvo ( 2004 ) S60 Smooth and comfortable ride for short or long trips
I have had this car ( Volvo ) for over 6 months now and so far had no problems. The safest car on the road compared to any others out there. Has excellent fuel mileage, handles and performs with ease. The interior has easy access to all the functions for easy to operate.

A safe reliable car that will get you around without too much gas
It runs pretty well and is safe, but it is old. It doesn't have modern features. It's also expensive to repair.

It's a great car it was a used purchase an has kept me safe 155k and counting.
Well it's a Volvo so it is a bit expensive to fix but it rides well, good mileage and has not given me any problems. I provide routine maintenance as told an am happy with the Volvo. I have had issues with tires but that a brand issue not the car. I also find it interesting that the battery is in the trunk.

Be aware of who you deal with.
I have had nothing but problems with my Volvo. I bought it used and nothing has been right with it since then. I honestly can't put all Volvos down, this was my first. Just be careful with who you deal with and I mean car lots. Make sure to checkout everything before purchasing a vehicle.
Daniel L

Just sort of average: average car to drive.
I like this car for just being a vehicle to get me place to place. However, being the year it is, this car's paint has started to come off. Other than that, what I dislike: the knobs of the volume and switching stations is very sticky because of the coating they used. No USB port for charging your phone.

When I first bought car I travel nonstop up and down the state of Florida.
It is a reliable car until maintenance issues starts kicking in. I had my car for 9 years in may and issues did not erupt until about 4 years ago with about 78k miles. The struts and rotors have been replace at least three times. There have been two leaks with reservoir power steering. My only issue with my car is when I accelerate at a certain speed the steering wheel shakes which I was told the axles are worn.

I enjoy the heated seats which was a luxury addition, especially in 2004.
I am the third owner of this vehicle and do not know much on it's history. However, this car has been great. The main issue is the rubber holding the metal frame onto the front windshield has deteriorated due to weathering causing it to be held down by gorilla tape. It is fairly good in the snow and is an overall really safe car.

2004 Volvo s60 navy blue with perfect running engine!
The engine runs great, I have some problem with the right front door and right front window. The door does not open from the inside anymore, and the window seems to be out of the mechanism, so that we cannot open the window. It has electrical seats in the front and every window is electrical as well. The a/c works perfectly.

Experiencing Volvo and its pros and cons.
I love the safety features. U have gotten in a fender bender and there was no damage done to my car or the other. Its comfortable. It has had transmission issues that we have had to get serviced a few times. It's a small car on the inside to where it isn't comfortable for everyone to sit.

Middle of the road sedan; perfect for an economy car
The timing belt needs to be replaced every 40-60,000 miles in order to ensure the engine does not die, the PCV system needs to be replaced around the same interval as well. These two repairs are very expensive, especially if you have to do them at the same time. The performance is exceptional, especially considering the small size of the engine and decent fuel economy. It handles (steering) quite well too, and there is very minimal road noise even at highway speeds. It is quite a comfortable vehicle to ride in, however the maintenance expenses and me choosing to use premium gas makes cost of ownership higher than I would like.

Watch out for electrical problems at the 100,000 mile mark. Like all european cars, expect to pay a lot of money in parts and repairs if something needs to get fixed.
Engine is reliable but I've had a lot of electrical problems. Dad is doesn't work and I've had lots of battery problems. Nothing major has ever broken on the motor but I've had tons of little things go wrong.

The most important thing is that the car is reliable.
I like how safe and comfortable the car is to ride in. My only complaint about the car is the cost to maintain it. Also not many people are certified to work on volvos so it is limited to whom you can take it to for service.
