To get a use C70 commin off lease with a dealer warrentee is the way to go. Fun to drive, safe, with plenty of room for 4 people. Don't even think of buying a Chrysler product - go test drive a used C70 and save yourself 10K.
Love This Car

I love my Volvo C70 Convertible but does anyone else have a problem with blind spots and not being able to see out the back window? This doesn't have anything to do with height either.I'm 5'2",my husband is 6'2" and has the same problem. I depend entirely on my side mirrors, which is difficult. Otherwise, it's a wonderful car. Very comfortable and great to look at.Minor problem with getting in and out of the back seat if your a big guy. One other problem, if your uncomfortable with people staring at you, don't buy this car, because you will get stares! Took a long road trip this summer and couldn't have asked for better mileage and comfort. Wonderful to have a convertible that so easy to use!

I loved my car until I started visiting the service center at the dealership every other month. I bought the car used - less than 2 years old, and was at Volvo 11 times before the warranty was up (yup, in less than 2 years). All electrical problems, many of them over and over again. From the amplifier to the windows/door locks to replaccing the motor in the roof. I finally sold it because I couldn't stand all the time it took to keep it working. The service center was great - Volvo headquarters on the other hand, couldn't be bothered even to acknowledge that I was trying to speak with them.
Volvo Convertable C70

This car is surprisingly nimble for a convertable, but the cowl has a noticable shimmy when going over uneven surfaces. Had to replace the upper engine mount (some $60 in parts and my own labor) which really helped isloate the engine noise. The 60k service was a real killer (love those Volvo parts prices), but the biggest expense I had while owning this car was the electronic throttle body. It developed a dead spot right in the cruise position and would cause the computer to make the car surge ahead or slow down - as though it can't see the throttle and moves it wide open then completly closed. That cost me a cool 1k but the car drives much better now.
Not as good as they use to be.

Overall this car hasn't great, the recall for the ECM/Throttle body is the biggest fault. Volvo basically just patched it, the throttle body WILL fail and has to be replaced. Not a cheap repair at the dealer, 1k just for the part, I ordered a new one from another company and replaced mine myself. The ABS control module failed, replaced it myself, the cooling fan went out, the heater/AC blower went out, heater core had to be replaced also. I bought this car when it had 20k on it and I drive almost entirely on the Interstate. The turning radius is awful, a friend has a V70 and it is also. Oh, and how could I forget, the convertible top, doesn't work anymore.
