  A Convertible For Adults - 2006 Volvo C70
  By Steve - August 10 - 2:13 pm

  If top-down driving inspires you but safety, build quality and seating for 4 motivate you, then this is your convertible. A head-turner with the top up or down, the converting process is guaranteed to stop traffic. Actual adults can fit in the rear seat, and if you drive like an adult (i.e. - dont need to prove your manhood by speeding, snaking through traffic or excessive horsepower) the C70 will keep you smiling for years to come.

  2 cars in one. - 2006 Volvo C70
  By laxdad - February 28 - 4:30 pm

  This is a solid car, the hard top convertible makes the car a perfect choice for year round driving. The car is very quiet with the top up, and a blast to drive with the top down. The interior styling is excellent - no clutter and controls are easy to use. Front seats are typical Volvo comfort, and back seat room is larger than I have seen on other convertibles. Build quality is excellent.

  Worth the wait - 2006 Volvo C70
  By whichhardtop - August 8 - 1:56 pm

  I fell into my 2006 C70 when a higher up in the Volvo company turned in his red C70 after putting 700 miles playing around with it for a few months. The question is, after driving this car, why would anyone give it up? The biggest knock on this car is that it is not fun to drive. Try the standard 6-speed manual and watch it put the 218 horseys to work (and save $1250). Also forget about spending $1400 on leather seating and go with the amazingly sleek (and not very hot) synthetic flextech upholstery. I had no regrets about dropping $1550 on the 12-speaker dynaudio system, which sounds phenomenal. My other big splurge was the 18" tires, which firmly place this as a bonafide sportscar.
