I've owned this car for 11 years. One of the best I've driven. Car is now at 350K and yes, maint is expensive, but worth it. Oil changes every 3 months and i would suggest owners budget atleast $1200 a year for maintenance. Besides oil changes & tuneups - Issues: ABS module - approx $300 to fix. Heater core - @250K - approx $800 Window switch - approx $200 Rear antenna - approx $100
A lot of style and performance for the $

I purchased this car in '02 with 43,000 miles and have since driven it to 78,500. I truly enjoy this car each day and am surprised that this now 7-yr old vehicle still draws admiring comments. Great acceleration, but wish it was an all-wheel or rear-wheel drive. Not many used cars in this price range can achieve the 6.2 or better to 60 MPH. Only complaints thus far is an annoying noise in the roof that accompanies heavy dew or rain, flaking paint on front bumper and cheap plastic switch that has broken under seats disabling power functions... (fixed with a rubber band!)
Well Pleased.

Was looking for a "Personal Car" as have a M-B "Family Car) and found it in the Volvo C70. It was my second Volvo and was impressed with the overall engineering that goes into their products. The car has served me well and continues to draw "raves" for appearance. Gas mileage is in the 32- mpg area on the highway. The sound system is outstanding. Currently have 49,000 miles on the car and has held up very well and shows no "age". Great Car!!!!

This car does not compare favorably with my last Volvo in: turn radius, ride quality or fit & finish. Wonder what a Camaro or Mustang built in Sweden would be like? It would have front wheel drive, lots of air bags, power steering that binds during U-Turns, bake transmission fluid in 10k miles, a sunroof outsourced to Hyundai (make the noise go away), comparable build quality, plenty of rattles & squeaks. The side windows make an alarming "thud" at bottom, a real passenger pleaser. Does the spring rate really need to be this high? Two alignments have failure to prevent this thing from hunting the road like a hound after prey.
