first full month of ownership - 2009 Volvo C70
By houston - December 19 - 9:00 pmC70 is a beautiful car that exceeds my expectation of how livable a convertible can be. The folding top is a marvel to see in operation and the interior is Scandinavian simplistic. This car speaks of adult sophistication.

A blast to drive! - 2009 Volvo C70
By Ken - August 24 - 2:33 amSmooth handling and head-turning style go hand-in-hand in my 2009 Volvo C70. On a recent trip to Southern California, the C70 averaged 32.6 mpg. The car has plenty of low end acceleration and if one is not careful, it can creep up to 75-80 (or faster) mph very quickly. Interior styling, while conservative, is ergonomically sound. When the metal top is lowered, people stand and stare as the jigsaw puzzle neatly tucks into the trunk. For a convertible, the C70 does not disappoint in adequate trunk space. I carted two full sized reptile tanks and two pieces of luggage with no difficulty. Compared to an Audi A4 or BMW 3 series (both more expensive), the C70 holds its own very nicely!

Unique and Beautiful - 2009 Volvo C70
By Pete - October 21 - 11:53 pmExcellent exterior and interior styling; interior is understated and straightforward with intuitive controls. Trunk and backseat are both surprisingly roomy (best in class) for a retractable hardtop. Roof function is smooth and quick. Low-end torque is a little weak, but the turbo makes for a zippy little passer once it is underway. Fuel economy is great. This car is a well- kept secret, making it pretty unique.

The C70 is awesome - 2009 Volvo C70
By Jersey Girl - November 29 - 10:50 amThe C70 handles beautiful and is fun to drive. I was very surprised at how large the trunk actually is. The interior is comfortable and quite. The blue tooth connection is also a great feature.

BOM BOM POW! - 2009 Volvo C70
By MYVOLVOC70 - May 20 - 12:13 amI am a loyal Volvo customer and have owned a Volvo since 2001. My latest purchase exceeds my expectation. The car has a well thought out design both inside and out. The "tranformer" like hardtop puts on a fun show. My car is smooth as silk. And the bass on the audio is awesome. The turbo has a nice punch and you can pick up speed pretty well, but I dont think I will be drag racing this car. The room in this car for a convertible is surprising and even my over 6ft men in my life have leg room. The safety features that Volvo has included along with that smooth ride makes you feel safe and secure even with the top down.

bravo, Volvo - 2009 Volvo C70
By seye - April 29 - 4:46 pmPurchased my black C70 in August. My initial impressions are great. I wasnt expecting Vette performance, so acceleration/ handling are adequate. No shudders/creeks in the body top up or down. Exterior design is beautiful- by far the most attractive Volvo. Interior also designed well-- drivers seat is comfortable and very adjustable. Chose standard sound system and I am pleasantly suprised by the acoustics. Both the iPod and Bluetooth interface are awesome. Some of the interior bits and surfaces could be of a higher quality (dash, wheel, door trim). The key is cumbersome, and I wish Id opted for keyless with this car. Overall, I love the versatility and design.

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

2009 Volvo C70 T5 Convertible - 2009 Volvo C70
By oak7 - October 14 - 10:06 amI 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 amI 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.
