  Fun times in the sun - 2004 Volvo C70
  By MOnty - June 11 - 10:00 am

  The C70 convertible is a dream to drive. Acceleration is smooth and steady from a dead stop. Acceleration from a moving start has a bit of turbo lag. Handling is above average. My only regret is not being able to acquire a manual transmission with the high pressure turbo to see how this coupe really stacks up.

  Great in class, but not best Volvo - 2004 Volvo C70
  By Paul in Seattle - June 27 - 2:00 am

  The C70 is best in class. Its competitors are BMW 3 series and Mercedes CLK. For the money, you get more engine and features with the C70, by far. That said, we love our 98 Cross Country wagon and dont think the C70 convertible is close in terms of quality, esp for the price. But, if you want a 4-seater, Euro convertible, the c70 is a blast and affordable.

  Good Looker....high maintenance - 2004 Volvo C70
  By Paul Hr - January 7 - 2:00 am

  I have had 5 Volvos and this is definitely the best looking and the least reliable of the lot. I have had great service and free loaners from the dealer, but have had some problems with the air conditioning system and the top especially. Everything else has been within reason. I also have had the "slow seat" problem, and a seat that failed when in the fully forward position, which necessitated towing. I must say though I have talked about trading it in for a new solara convertable or the new saab, but once they roll up the car when i come to pick it up I change my mind....it is a lot of fun especially here in south florida.

  Nice vehicle but Broken already - 2004 Volvo C70
  By Duner - May 14 - 2:00 am

  Purchased a C70 for the wife. Chassis roll is significant as is cowl shudder , Exterior Design is really nice , interior is good, Volvo missed with the 3 CD insert tray and interior Door handles can pinch your fingers when opening the door, electric seats are slow. automatic roof is very nice, prologic stereo is nice as well. Overall the vehicle is a very roomy and sporty Convertible. Engine drone of 5 cylinder is rather annoying under acceleration, plenty of HP . large gas tank . 500 miles and the power steering is making its death nell sounds, Brakes seem to nearly touch the floor. But the vehicle does stop.

  Tranny issues plague C70 - 2004 Volvo C70
  By ncmommy - April 10 - 1:29 pm

  I bought my 2004 in 2005 and love the look with the top down. The main thing to watch out for is the transmission!!! At 90,000 miles it began to slip and by 120,000 I had to have it rebuilt to the tune of $3500. Since having this work done Ive not had any additional issues but was sorely disappointed in this Volvo as Ive owned 6 and this one just pooped out. Another thing to watch is to never drive up too close to a parking curb!!! The bumper is so flexible and low to the ground as to let the car easily run up. Due to the shape it will literally rip off when you back up. This has happened to me 2x and I swear Im not being as stupid as this sounds.

  We gave it back - 2004 Volvo C70
  By duner - September 6 - 2:00 am

  purchased Nov, 03. 500 miles, power steering failed. 1800 miles, new Rack installed in Car. transmission began clunking between 10 and 20 mph . Volvo N. America looked at the car. Agreed to everything during the proof drive then denied it after they got off the phone with Volvo legal, per a Friend at the dealer. C70 platform is CRAP. Tranny by Mitsubishi per Volvo, tolerance issues at transaxles and hubs, known to Volvo. END: Volvo Corporate told me "too Bad" and "well see you in court" if I didnt like it. its sounds weird? it Was! dont buy any C70 or Volvo , car flagged 2 weeks prior with a steering problem Volvo sold it anyway

  Concerns - 2004 Volvo C70
  By John Hancock - June 12 - 2:00 am

  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.
