  Perfect Ladies Convertible - 2009 Volvo C70
  By Shelly - April 18 - 6:20 am

  While not up to the performance of a BMW, this car is smooth as silk. Acceleration and handling in normal driving are very good. The hardtop works amazingly well. It is quiet with the top down. You can actually listen to music with the top down at 70 MPH or have a conversation. The seats are supportive and comfortable even for my husband at 62" and 230LBS. The car looks great with the top up and fantastic with the top down. No fooling around with a cloth top or boot. Sound system is quite good and I just have the standard one. I can listen to music with top down just fine. This is not a car for a sports car enthusiast, but for me going to the golf course and work it is just great.

  I have had my C70 for two months. Most of that time the weather has been nasty - snow, cold, wet, with a few days of nice weather (Typical pre-spring in Alabama). So far I love it. Drives great, comfortable (54 miles one way commute) with plenty of power. Car has 110,000 and I have had to replace an axle and wheel bearing but its good now. Awesome looks and very unique. Car has plenty of room inside and four adults have ridden comfortably, though getting in and out takes a bit of practice. Love my C70.

  It is fun to drive again - 2009 Volvo C70
  By cthimes - July 30 - 12:33 am

  I just purchased this vehicle last week and love everything about it. I am a big man and fit in the vehicle just fine. It is a great car to show off and certainly gets everyones attention when it changes. My kids have named the car after Jazz in the Transformer movie because it really is a noticeable change. I like the feeling of security that the car brings and I am very pleased with the performance. The car has plenty of power actually more horsepower than the V6 Mustang convertible that I was also considering. It really is two cars built into one.

  Fun convertible - 2009 Volvo C70

  Smooth as silk when shifting this manual 6 speed. Excellent interior headroom, not a claustrophobic feeling like some front windshields give you in convertibles. The hardtop splits into three pieces which still allows for excellent storage in the boot.

  Professional Convertible - 2009 Volvo C70
  By PJ - November 5 - 9:43 am

  As a VW driver for years, I talked myself out of another VW when my last lease expired. I do like my C70 and find it stylish, but I miss the zip of my 4cylinder turbo charged VW Passat.I test drove an Eos in my search for a new car, and bowed out due to unsteady feeling of that car. In retrospect, Id have given this purchase more thought....

  FUN, FUN, FUN!!!! - 2009 Volvo C70
  By fragglerock414 - September 5 - 10:36 am

  I bought the car a couple of days before Thanksgiving. After 4 months I can honestly say that I love this car. I also own a 2002 Volvo S60. I have always like the C70, but was concerned that I wouldnt really use it as a convertible, which would be a huge waste of money. Worries are gone. I cant keep the top up. I should be arrested for indecent exposure! This car is so much fun, handles well, is beautiful, and has great features. The integrated Bluetooth is awesome and works well even with the top down on the highway. Also love the integrated iPod. The only drawback is the horrible gas mileage and small (compared to my S60)gas tank.

  c 70 weak frame and roof - 2009 Volvo C70
  By frank - July 29 - 7:40 am

  Good experience driving top down but not when the top is up. It generates too much rattles from plastic panel door and roof

  By Cthimes - March 19 - 3:56 pm

  I purchased this vehicle after reviewing several others including the V6 Mustang convertible. I am pleased with the quality and luxury of the design. The nav system is relatively simple and intuitive. The audio system is excellent. The aggressive ability of the acceleration is wonderful.
