  first full month of ownership - 2009 Volvo C70
  By houston - December 19 - 9:00 pm

  C70 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.

  This Car Relaxes Me - 2009 Volvo C70
  By miabchdave - March 30 - 10:33 am

  This car will make you want to cruise, listen to good music, and enjoy the scenery. I find it very comfy. The trunk room and rear seats have no other competition in the hard top convertible space. The interior storage is definitely adequate. Those three main reasons are why I went with the C70 over the BMW 328i hardtop even though the lease on the BMW worked out to be $10 cheaper a month. Its simply a more usable car... its even rated to tow! The car does have some oddities that need to be addressed, though. See below.

  A blast to drive! - 2009 Volvo C70
  By Ken - August 24 - 2:33 am

  Smooth 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!

  Beautiful Car Inside and Out - 2009 Volvo C70
  By Magic BlueOne - March 22 - 11:00 am

  First off, I enjoy just looking at my C70, it is a beautiful car. Its handling, breaking and acceleration are all capable, so for my intended purpose of top down cruising it is a pleasure. For the reality as a daily driven commuter work horse the Northeast its proved both comfortable and reliable, and the hard top is a necessity. Its a sedan when I need it, a convertible when I want it. Nice job Volvo.

  Unique and Beautiful - 2009 Volvo C70
  By Pete - October 21 - 11:53 pm

  Excellent 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.

  Way behind the Technology - 2009 Volvo C70
  By Steve - August 7 - 11:00 am

  The looks are great, inside and out. Ride is comfortable, especially the highway driving I do. Handling is a little mushy. The car is quiet as a hardtop, top up, not bad, top down. Seats are incredibly comfortable and definitely recommend the sovereign leather. Technology is embarrassing. The Navigation is like a built is Garmin. The phone is HORRID; very few phones are compatible, and any time I have tried to upgrade phone software, wont sync to the phone book. The other problems are the gas pedal is 1-2 inches lower than the brake pedal, which is awkward, and the Climate Control is weak. After 6 months, Im going to see if I can trade it if I can do it without losing too much money

  The C70 is awesome - 2009 Volvo C70
  By Jersey Girl - November 29 - 10:50 am

  The 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 am

  I 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 pm

  Purchased 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.
