  Tire issues are a problem - 2006 Volvo C70
  By Bay area gal - August 26 - 1:43 am

  Told first set of tires were just bad tires and replaced at 20 k miles due to excessive cupping. Within 10 k miles back tires cupping again dealer monitored and replaced back tires only after stating they fixed the issue. Volvo would not replace front tires. Told tires on front had at least 20k miles at least on them with plenty of wear left. 3 months after replacing the back, cupping noise back. Dealer stated they did in fact hear and see cupping starting again. Did alignment and asked me to bring back for check in 5k miles. Waited 3k miles 2 months and was just told back tires are fine, no cupping which is discrepancy from 3 months ago and told front tires need replaced. Incredible

  Poor introducton of model - 2006 Volvo C70
  By Bob S - August 24 - 10:20 am

  My ownership experience has been less than satisfactory due to the constant irritation of having the auto at the dealership. Constant problems with programming with radio shutdown, GPS shutdown, barking dog in the fan control of AC were finally fixed with a programming fix. Two rings embedded in the back boot of the convertible cover resulted in boot being replaced after two attempts to get replacement from mfg. Blew out a tire & since no spare, took 5 days to get a replacement. Now I get a recall stating most of the problems I have already experienced. Found five shims in trunk that fell from someplace in convertible top & undetermined where they should be replaced.

  Its like being on vacation every time I get behind the wheel. The top is an amazing piece of engineering. The car is very well built, and drives extremely smoothly.

  Service Problems - 2006 Volvo C70
  By John - June 26 - 9:00 am

  This car is beautiful to look at but is at the dealership more often than at home. Leaks, stereo speaker rattles, and in three times for airbag indicators coming on. Add to that the tires wearing out completely after less than 10k miles with no assistance from volvo and Im not a happy camper. Tires cost $1200 to replace at under 10k miles.

  Better than the Rag Top - 2006 Volvo C70
  By LJM - June 3 - 10:00 am

  I also own a 2003 C70 soft top convertible. There is no comparison. larger, more comfortable, quite, excellent stereo and AC. Equal power. You cant beat the expression on peoples faces when you put the top down.

  New C70 Owner - 2006 Volvo C70
  By CPW - December 23 - 8:30 am

  Overall, I love this car and would highly recommend it, but there have been a few issues that you should be aware of. The roof/windows leak during washing. Both driver and passenger seats have 3 settings which is great, but I dont like that you have to hold the button vs. "one touch". It is very fun to drive and handles great. I have heard complaints about the navigation system, but I think it is much better than others I have used (including Lexus and BMW). I love the remote control feature with the navigation. With this said... it is a great car and a lot of fun!

  Check your rims - 2006 Volvo C70
  By Jeff - December 3 - 8:23 pm

  We love the C70 but it has been in the shop a number of times due to the tops sensor going off while driving in the rain and when someone is walking behind the car as I back out of a parking space. Basically I have to reset the top by opening and closing it. Not a fun experience in the rain. Another ongoing issue is both right rims seemed to have gone oval for no reason. One rim was even cracked on the interior. The dealership and Volvo USA say they are not responsible. The top rattles, water gets in at the car wash. The battery died which unlocks the car and rolls down the windows. Its a safety feature.

  Amazing! - 2006 Volvo C70
  By ANNA - October 25 - 6:46 am

  I got this car about a week ago and i love it so much. It is the most amazing convertible i have seen and the best part, it will get you a lot of attention. It drives great with top up or top down and looks great both ways also. I had looked at other convertibles in its class, but i am so glad i picked this one. This has so much more to offer.
