I bought my 2002 C70 used in 2009. It ran great for about 6 months & then had a host of problems that caused multiple trips to the shop, including one that lasted 3 months. The car doesn't always start. Turning the key over and trying again sometimes works, but Volvo told me that trick as they can't fix it. The transmission slips & it has gotten progressively worse to the point that the car is only reliable for trips under 15 min. Volvo can't diagnose that problem either & suggested changing the trans, but will not guarantee that it's the fix. The rear windshield has dropped & is suspended by the headliner. I need an auto upholstery shop to stitch it back in as the glue won't hold.
Gotta be different

One thing that drew me to the C70 is that there aren't a lot of them out there. Seems like you see BMWs everywhere but you sure don't see many C70s. I have only had mine about a month now and really enjoy it. I live it in Italy and trust me it will do more than the governed 130mph. I can cruise at 100mph with no problems and very smooth on the highway. It also fun running through the Italian Alps. I sure feel I got my money's worth.

I was swayed by the looks when I bought this car. It has been in the show more than a dozen times in one year. The windows rattle, the top flaps in the wind, the turning radius is almost unsafe, and twice my brakes have malfunctioned and needed major repair - with only 25K mileage. Good looking is the only good thing I can say about his car.
Love this ride!

It's just a joy to drive. Incredibly comfortable seats, great sound system, good controls. There is an irritating lag in acceleration from a stop, which I'm told is typical of turbo engines.
nice looking but unreliable

The car was good the first two years, but then things started going wrong and wrong and wrong. Dealer could not fix recurring problem with starting. Needed to always carry all three keys because you never knew which one would start it. Funny smell that dealer could never locate. It is my fourth and last Volvo.
