  Very nice car! - 2008 Volvo C70
  By 2007 Volvo C70 T5 2d - May 28 - 10:33 pm

  After test driving the BMW convertible, this Volvo became an easy choice. Better looks, perfect sound system (please get the upgrade) and best of all has more airbags than I can count. The seats are very comfortable, the interior is nice and easy to use buttons, I also got the Climate package, 6 mo free Sirius, 1 year free maintenance and best of all $10K of the sticker price. All I need now is some sun. Enjoy your purchase.

  New Toy - 2008 Volvo C70
  By Dennis - February 16 - 6:33 pm

  I have only had this car a few weeks and it has exceeded my expectations, Fun to drive, love the hard top convertible. It wont mess your hair. I upgraded the sound to the dyna system and I was literally blown away, I have owned BMWs, Audi and Acura. This is the most fun I have had. I hope I am as thrilled a year from now. Only complaint is not enough accessory outlets, one for my gps and one for my cell. They have to share!

  Best convertible for the money! - 2008 Volvo C70
  By Constantine - December 27 - 7:10 pm

  After driving the competition the 2008 C70 was a no brainer. Lots of power, beautiful design in and out, the best seats ever (even by Volvo standards) and best of all I can have two car seats in the back (infant and forward facing) with lots of room to spare. I got the upgraded sound system which is amazing and worth every dollar, the climate package which keeps me warm in the morning and free Sirius radio for 6 months. What will amaze you is how big the trunk is with and without the roof in it, how smooth the transmission is how elegant the interior is and how many storage compartments they put in this car. Bravo Volvo!

  Ultimate convertible - 2008 Volvo C70
  By Mike - June 5 - 7:33 pm

  Looked at convertibles for 2 years before settling on the C-70. Decided on C-70 because of feel of quality and safety rating. Very well designed car. Smooth, quiet, excellent acceleration and handling. Gas mileage has been pretty good at 23 mpg in mixed driving. Optional bluetooth system worth the $675 dollars. I like the BLIS and Dynaudio.

  Wow Wow Wee Wow - 2008 Volvo C70
  By Mike - December 2 - 1:26 am

  This is a fun vehicle and very fun to drive! What originally caught my eye was the sleeker design in contrast to the other Volvo models. The hard top convertable is also an excellent plus! Like Mc Donalds "dah dup dah dah daaaaaah Im lovin it!"

  My C 70 - 2008 Volvo C70
  By LLoyd Smith - July 22 - 3:36 am

  I test drove other cars in the same class; Audi convertible, Lexus, Mercedes, etc. None, I say none of them felt as solid, had the same pick up, were as stylish, comfortable or as beautiful. What an great experience to drive this car, AND it isnt bad to have so many people take an extra look as you drive by. Everything is within very easy reach inside, even visibility is great. Although I prefer all wheel drive the C 70s front wheel drive works well. I have about 4,000 miles on it presently and I am getting an average of 20 mpg and I have a heavy foot. I am an "oldster" and it is a pleasure to get that "I love my car" feeling back. Top up or down draws a crowd.

  Impressed with C70 - 2008 Volvo C70
  By Mike S - July 5 - 11:20 am

  I could not be more satisfied with my new 2008 C70 convertible. As an owner of a 2000 C70, bought new and driven over 100k miles, I initially though I would select something different. I shopped the competition for convertibles and test drove many below and above the C70s price point. I concluded the C70 was clearly the best value for me based on quality, style, and fuel efficiency. The C70 is not inexpensive, but the more expensive 328i and CLK350 could not justify their higher prices. I have now driven the car for two months. All my expectations have been satisfied. Great qulaity and value.
