2004 Volvo V70 R Reviews, Pricing & Specs

With 300 horsepower and 298 lb-feet of torque standard, the V70R is fun right from the start. Replace some OEM components with higher-spec parts from IPD, upgrade the engine management software, and you're talking 330 horses and 348 lb-feet; this is pavement-wrinkling output in a (relatively) inconspicuous wrapper! Inside, you'll find leather on the seats, of course, but also covering the instrument binnacle, three-quarters of the door panels (right down into and including the storage pockets), the center armrests both front and back, and not only the steering wheel rim (which many cars have) but also the center/airbag cover. And with the rear roof-edge spoiler visually lengthening the car's profile, despite it being a now-old design, it's still one of the best looking cars on the road. To put this car's power specs into context/perspective, consider this: in 2004, the year the R model was introduced, the normally-aspirated Porsche 911 had 315 horsepower and 268 lb-feet of torque!Aug 31, 2012

Performance is incredible for such a big car very decieving for the souped up Fiesta trying to do you at the lights. Could have done being AWD like the R version just about as many horses to put on the road through the front wheels. Also it understeered because of the FWD and power. The build quality is pretty good. Solid car inside and out but by this time Ford own Volvo as such the pop up Sat nav can also be found in the Aston Martin Vanquish lol. The interior was fantastic the seats were sooo comfy it cruised as 120mph seeming like you were doing 50. This car was fully loaded great car for the family and dog also for carrying just about anything being an estate. Not a bad looking car big wheels nice green paint. Was very juicy around town but couldnt complain on a run.May 30, 2011
