2004 Volvo XC70 Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by bugeye

Front seat support & comfort

Very comfortable, supportive seats.

Powertrain performance

Spunky turbo 5 cylinder. Somewhat complicated PCV system. Be sure to change the transmission fluid to maintain shift reliability.

Reliability & durability

Requires specific maintainance that is not identified by Volvo, like changing drivetrain fluids and Haldex filter, to hopefully provide long life. A drivetrain component failure will cause the car to be scrapped due to repair costs.

Warranty, maintenance cost

As a third owner, catch-up of deferred maintainance can be costly even with DIY.
