    Did much pre-lease research. Bad mech reviews here made me cautious. Also consid A4,BMW3,Saab9-3,CLK. Volvo won out on uniqueness, size(big rear seat),and price. Great luxury cruiser Well worth it to get the Touring pkg (wood upgrades) and added cost wood wheel. Skip extra cost audio and Propus wheels(2x$1000)and the LPT comes in under $40K if you negotiate. Very smooth driving car. Did 300 mi round trip and looked forward to it. 28mpg at 70-80mph and smoooooth. Seats absolutely rock.

    The Volvo C70 is a zippy, sexy, fun car to drive. It has pick-up and glides around curves. It feels sooo good with the top down. The interior is quite nice; the seats are very comfortable. The back seat even has ample room for two. Only negatives are the small trunk and the rear window when the top is up-- -hard to see out of.

    The Volvo c70 is the perfect car—or at least the perfect car for anyone who wants to have fun driving and doesnt want to look silly in a cabriolet. Its beauitfully done--what a pity that Volvo didnt push harder. No doubt it will become a classic.

    This car had been in an accident and had a salvage title, price right, but some concern because of that. However, once I put new tires and new engine mounts on the car (they had deteriorated in hot Florida weather) this car runs like new and is a pleasure to drive. Good pickup, great fun on an open winding road with the top down.

    I need a car to get me from school back home which is a far drive. This car can handle great in the snow and has yet to disapoint me.

    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.

  • A beautiful, elegant convertible... - 2004 Volvo C70
    By -

    Its a convertible that is elegant and stylish. We found it to be the perfect convertible because of the performance, style and the very roomy backseat. The stereo with its 12 speakers is awesome and the interior quality is superb. Volvo has also taken care of adding numerous safety gadgets to make this a fun and safe car to drive. After test- driving all of its competition I found it to be the best value all-around. If you are shopping around for a convertible that does NOT yell out "teeny bopper or mid-life crisis vehicle" than this is the car for you. A GREAT CAR!! Now run out and get one Im off for a ride ( top down of course!!) in mine now!!!

  • Fun in the sun! - 2004 Volvo C70

    Amazing how little wind penetrates the passenger compartment with top down. Outside noise is not with the top up. I now understand the meaning of turbo lag. I think the car matches up very well with Mercedes CLK and BMW 328 conv, there are some vehicle integrity issues you would not expect from a luxury car, such as noise from the wheels when you turn the steering wheel all the way, a very slight rattle in the dashboard, & sometimes a squeak when window goes up. At low speeds when you first start the car up there is a slight vibration. With Volvo you dont get the bells & whistles that you do with a Jap or German car, but the bottom line is I love my C70.

  • Below Average Car - 2004 Volvo C70
    By -

    We have been extremely disappointed with our Volvo C70 and the Dealer. The car is very difficult to drive due to all of the blindspots with the top up or down. The front end is so low you cant go over the smallest bump w/o scraping it. To get into the back seat takes forever due to auto seat speed. Buy the less expensive Saab!
