  • Awesome Car! - 2004 Volvo C70
    By -

    There are 4 convertibles in the near- luxury class that all sell for about the same dollars: SAAB 9-3, BMW 3series, Audi A4, and the Volvo C70. Dont buy any of these cars without first checking out the Volvo! Ive had mine for 4 days now. It is the nicest car Ive ever driven! Even though mine is the lpt, it has plenty of giddy-up. Gives a nice smooth ride; softer than the 9-3 or the A4. Handles wonderfully. All the goodies (leather, CD player, heated seats, alarm, etc) come standard. The seats are especially confortable. I know this is a nice car because my wife and my 2 sons (18 and 23) all want to drive it!

  • Concerns - 2004 Volvo C70

    The car seems to have heavy shakes at 50MPH, especially in the morning when its cold. As it warms up shakes lighten up a little bit. Backing up with top up has a visual problem as there are no "portholes" in the canvas top and therefore visibility is blocked when backing up and trying to see, mostly to the right side approaching cars as well as blind spot just to see what is behind you. Electronic access to rear seat is slow and a pain, would be better to have manual seat backs that go forward.

  • Excellent car - 2004 Volvo C70

    This is an excellent vehicle, one that is fun to drive, very comfortable seating, ample room in back seat, draws many favorable comments. It is the only one in the area that we live in and gets many looks and comments. The front seats are the most comfortable of any car that weve ever owned. If there is a drawback, its that the car must be in park and emergency brake on to raise or lower the top, (which is quite fast to do).

  • Love this car! - 2004 Volvo C70
    By -

    Took delivery on this car in November of 2003, it has been great ever since. Ive had no problems with the performance. Like many others I would like the rear seat access to be quicker and better view out of the back. Otherwise, very happy with the car, including my 61 husband who NEVER was able to get in the back seat of the Celica. Im also happy knowing Im in one of the safest cars around.

  • Fun Car - 2004 Volvo C70

    I have found this car fun to drive. Ive gotten 26 mpg highway. Im able to easily zip in and out of traffic when entering highway and changing lanes. Easy to park. Has trunk space for 1 large and 2 small suitcases with extra space for shopping bags.

  • Driving Pleasure - 2004 Volvo C70
    By -

    I purchased this car used, with only 2070 miles on it! The car is a pleasure to drive, very sporty looking, and gets great gas mileage (32.3 MPG highway. The quality of the build is typical Volvo, everything fits as it should, and solid as a rock.

    Car handles well, is excellent on highways and at speed. Not as good in towns. Turning radius too wide. Wonderful acceleration due to turbo. Great at passing as well. Convertible noisy with top up. Too much air noise. Great with top down. Speed control excellent. Does not have GPS system, major loss. Radio and CD player good to excellent. Overall, very good to excedllent in most respects.

    Really enjoy the car. Being 63", I need more head room than most. This car fits me well. Smooth engine, great looks. Only problems: slow acceleration up slight grades sometimes causes the tranny to slip a bit between 2nd and 3rd. No slip at heavier acceleration though. Also, get verbal abuse about the headlight wipers:Could do without them. Actually room under the hood to work on a few things myself. Only other nitpick is the slow power seat feature to enter the back seat.
