Overview & Reviews
Volvo introduces a high-pressure turbo (HPT) convertible and makes minor equipment changes to all C70s for 2000.
- Roomy inside, sexy outside, Volvo safe under the skin. Turbo provides enough power to satisfy.
- Poorly conceived easy-entry power feature for front seats. Tacked-on look of Dolby center-dash speaker.

Lemon - 2000 Volvo C70
By clm - June 27 - 2:00 amIt was b/w Volvo and BMW. Many more BMWs than Volvos on the road and I now know why. More defects and recalls than any car ever owned. Dealer unable to fix problems - particularly the roof. Depreciates like a rock. At least mine was a lease. Dont be foolish - a worst buy choice.

Interior Falls Apart - 2000 Volvo C70
By Glue Guy - July 24 - 10:06 amFun to drive and safe, but mine is literally falling apart. Both door panels have fallen off and needed to be replaced at the price of 1000 per door, switches fail, the sunroof constantly has the glass peel away from the assembly, switches fail, the leather is peeling, switches fail. The car is tremendously well taken care of but the electronics and interior cabin build quality are horrendous.

Falls Apart - 2000 Volvo C70
By Burned by Volvo - February 10 - 7:40 amLike others here, my door panels fall off ($1000 each) switches fail, sunroof constantly comes loose from the frame, the leather seats have peeled and the cqar is a basic nightmare. The throttle body has also failed, steering arm...the list goes on and on despite taking great care of this lemon. Volvo has been no help what so ever despite agreeing that ALL of these are known problems with this disaster.

Interior Falls Apart - 2000 Volvo C70
By GlueGun Ready - March 6 - 11:26 pmSolid and fun to drive but the interior of this car is literally falling apart. Both door panels have needed to be replaced (at a mere $1000 per door) electrical switches stick, work when they want to, or fall apart. The leather is peeling on the drivers seat and the sunroof assembly constantly needs to be reglued as the glass seperates from the metal. Ive never had a car do this and the darn thing is well taken care of. Amazing for a car with only 25,000 miles - and the dealer just shrugs....

Unique but poor design! - 2000 Volvo C70
By dezitrondeluxe - October 15 - 2:01 pmWhen I bought this car it was already 5 years old and over 90,000 miles and now it is up to 130,000. I have taken such good care of this car yet I always have to take it to the shop for major problems. It has had electrical problems from day one, the throttle is going out and so is the transmission. There was a recall on the electronic throttle in 06 I was never aware of. From what I have read online this car was just a bad design because everyone else I know with other Volvo models have not had nearly as many problems as I have with the c70. I admit I love its aesthetics because it is so sleek and rare but I spent over eight grand fixing it. Not worth it!

C70 i can belive how bad the quality is. - 2000 Volvo C70
By Saint - September 29 - 10:00 amI loved the first minute i saw this car. So i got it, and its the worst thing it ever happend. I visit the Volvo service every month. 3x for gas cap. 2x driver side window getting stuck on a cold rainy day. Grage door opener stoped working. Seet gets stock. head lights whiper brok off. Other then that i guess its ok. I just cant belive it is built so poorly. And they charge $500.00 just for a tunup. Verry hard to find parts.

Buyer Beware! - 2000 Volvo C70
By Big Dummy - November 24 - 8:00 amNice looking car. That is where it ends. A full array of electrical problems, transmission issues. The dashboard looks like a x-mas tree from day 1. Absolutely a horrible vehicle,. Looks nice, but I went with a BMW this time. A 40,000 hunk of electrical nightmares.
