Very pleased... - 2007 Volvo C70
By fairfaxc70 - December 16 - 3:16 amI ordered this car in September and during the 3 month wait had some second thoughts.Now after two weeks of driving I feel it was a smart choice. It is a pleasure to drive, comfortable, and is elegantly stylish inside and out.

Turns heads - 2007 Volvo C70
By pachung - May 10 - 2:00 pmOverall, a great car for its price. Cant get a hard top that seats 4 from anywhere else. Like the title says, youll be turning some heads when you lower the top at a signal. Its not built for performance though... looks sporty but really isnt.

Not Ready for Prime Time! - 2007 Volvo C70
By Missb - November 10 - 5:56 amMy 6 month old C70 has been in the shop twice because of roof rattles, roof still rattles. Volvo just sent out a "Campaign Notice", recall? Another trip to the dealer! After a minor fender bender, repairs took 2 months, primarily due to parts being on "national backorder". One came in a mislabeled carton, it took an additional week until the right part came from Sweden. A week later, the roof and trunk stuck half way open necessitating an emergency tow and more shop time! Apparently few techs are trained to work on the C70. Volvo is not supporting this car with parts inventory/tech training. Some customer service reps were surprisingly rude. Not what youd expect from Volvo, a disappointment.

What a great car! - 2007 Volvo C70
By Doug Caldwell - October 14 - 8:10 pmBought our C70 through the Overseas Delivery Program. You get 2 round trip tickets to Europe (anywhere, anytime, even peak season!), a night at the best hotel in Gothenburg, a free tank of gas (worth about $170!), insurance while you are there, a nice tour and lunch, and of course the car is shipped back. We took the all night ferry to Kiel-a beautiful trip thru the fjords. Ask to book the ferry at the factory, and you get a Volvo discount. We drove thru Germany, France and Belgium then up to Amsterdam, about 2000 mi. The car turned heads everywhere, it gets good mileage and is a practical extravagance. Buy a portable nav with European maps in the US before you go- we didnt, and wish we had

Best convertible yet - 2007 Volvo C70
By Morgen - August 26 - 3:36 amI saw my C70 being built in June of 2006 in Udevalla Sweden and took overseas delivery of it in September. It is loaded with the nav system and the premium sound system. The car has been flawless in performance. The car continues to draw appreciative remarks from people, especially when I put the top down or up. I still have the manufacturers plates on the front of the car. Look forward to purchasing another Volvo in 2010.

No longer waiting - 2007 Volvo C70
By larryh - May 10 - 6:13 amI already have 1300 miles on the car and have only had it since 11/30. I have been able to put the roof down twice and have experienced no problems other than my seat belt flapping. I also find the brake pedal to close to the gas pedal, I constantly bump it when moving my foot to the gas pedal. This car is definitely worth the money that I paid for it. I bought the flint gray with off black interior, the combination really looks great. The most annoying problem is getting into the back seat, I just dont like the seats work, would be better if manual.

Volvo C70 first two thousand miles - 2007 Volvo C70
By tim2it - November 23 - 6:40 pmGot one of those 6000 imported C70 2007 babies, and Im really enjoying it. It is Magic Blue Pearl with white interior. Best, most intuitive interior I have ever owned. I think it is called ergonomics. I also get people stopping me all the time to admire the car. Auto trans is a lagger at the light, but acceptable for people who dont care to shift. There is a pull to the right during accelerated lane changes at higher speeds, but again, it is OK if you know it is part of the turbo right twist phenom. I took it to Yosemite and over 9,000 feet mountain passes and the car was fantastic. Overall, it is a great ride, and a nice, safe drive. Lets hope I can get parts as it ages.

Lemon? - 2007 Volvo C70
By Sharon Lewis - July 22 - 6:33 pmI have had nothing but trouble with this car. It began at about 3,000 miles with a new fuel injector, gas tank & line, then moved on to strange noises upon starting, broken button on seat, first the passenger window quit working, now the driver window wont stay closed. I have had it in the shop 5 times for 8 problems. I am in the process of trying to sell them back this car.

Volvo C70 - 2007 Volvo C70
By ADM - May 6 - 3:46 amThis is my second Volvo C70. I really enjoy the hardtop and the Dynaudio system. I have had to bring the car back to the dealer numerous times for the same two issues. The front windows were not going all the way up when the doors closed. It took five tries before they fixed this issue. The other issue is the full spare tire. Every time I hit a bump of any type in the road the tires rattles around in the trunk. Volvo has looked at this issue at least 5 times and still cant figure out a way to stop it. They are looking into a foam base for it to sit on. They believe it might be a recall issue down the road.

Not worth the money - 2007 Volvo C70
By FLRabbit - December 28 - 8:33 amThis car has been a maintenance nightmare. Ive had to fix things on this car Ive never had to think about on any other car, and parts and labor are a fortune. Volvo closed the dealership where I bought it so now I have to drive an hour each way to get service. Not that they care, because you often have to keep going back before they admit to or find the problem. This car is fun to drive when its in shape, but unfortunately thats almost never. It goes through tires like a big dog goes through bones. You get weird little rattles and shimmies everywhere (that Volvo will blame on road conditions) and random things breaking that cost hundreds of dollars to fix. Not worth it at all.
