Overview & Reviews

For 2003, the C70 is only available in convertible form. Slight power increases are in store for both powertrains, with the LT engine now making 196 horsepower, an enhancement of six, and the HT engine producing 245, a boost of nine ponies over last year's output. The headlamps and taillamps have a jeweled effect, and the front grille is darkened. A rainbow of new colors -- Maya Gold, Ruby Red and Titanium Grey -- burst onto the scene.

• Luxurious interior, plenty of safety and comfort features, smooth ride, turbocharged engines.

  The C70 is the best of all worlds. Fun to drive, full of safety features, reliability and great performance. The optional wind screen lets me enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, and my hair doesnt even get messed up! The C70 has great acceleration and provides a smooth ride. I love this car!

  1972ChevelleMalibu checking in new pass - 2003 Volvo C70
  By TopDown - March 19 - 7:16 am

  20,500 miles. Not driving as much as I should! Everything on the car is in excellent condition. The only weird thing that happens is sometimes the windshield wipers stop without being all the way down while cleaning. Top is showing some mild discoloration on the flex spots, but I also use the top as much as possible (any day over 60 degrees) in New England. Car is superb on the highway. Cruises at any speed with control. Highly recommended as a used car (providing no accidents, etc). You get a huge discount off of new, yet car is 90% the same if well taken care of. Would buy again.

  A great car that is fun to drive! - 2003 Volvo C70
  By xyzzyx - March 14 - 10:00 am

  I have always owned mid priced - full sized convertibles (Cutlass / Toyota Solara / etc) and this has been the nicest, fun to drive, stylish car I driven. Good power (with the HT version) and comfortable. The power top and automatic boot is wonderful (ever been caught right before a downpour ?) One touch and your back on the road. Add the six disc CD player and power antenna switch (both simple to install by yourself) and this car is ready to have fun.

  Update on my Moondust C70 - 2003 Volvo C70
  By 1972ChevelleMalibu - September 10 - 9:23 pm

  15,500 miles and cant wait for this summer. Only word of caution, get rid of the stock Pirelli tires ASAP. First off, they are only summer and second, the sidewalls are way too weak. You hit a pothole or bump and they are ruined. I switch over to Dunlop Wintersport M3. They also come run- flat. Take much more abuse (regulars), but low - profile in general is a bad idea. Car was totally fine in snow with the Dunlops (they are winter tires). Moondust color is perfect for hiding dirt, finish is fine, interior is perfect. No problems with anything, just get in and turn the key. Very unique. Drive all day and maybe see one other on the road. Cant think of anything else I would rather have.

  Cant wait for next season - 2003 Volvo C70
  By 1972ChevelleMalibu - July 31 - 2:00 am

  I have to put in my opinion on this car because they are so hard to find, etc. I have had my Moondust C70 with the high powered turbo for 6 months and 6,000 miles. So far, it has been a fantastic car. It is powerful (252 HP), smooth riding and the seats are extremely comfortable. I originally struck out to find a used one, but it was so difficult, I bought a leftover 2003 new. People come up to me at stoplights to ask what it is and say how much they like it (sometimes one person a day) when the top is down! If you have the $, it is either this, or I would check out the new Saab (was not out when I got mine).

  Best All-Court Player - 2003 Volvo C70
  By Jlinwood - November 29 - 10:00 am

  An all-court player, the C70 combines luxury, performance, and comfort in a stylish package thats fun to drive. While there are a lot of good-looking cars on the road these days, it still turns heads and we can still tool around town with tall friends in the back seat. Youll feel a lot of confidence on the on-ramps, and maintenance has been oil and gas.
