2004 Volvo C70 Review
Price: $8,200

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Luxurious interior, plenty of safety and comfort features, smooth ride, turbocharged engines.
Cons
- Adding options quickly boosts the price, suspension isn't tuned for sporty handling, prone to torque steer during hard acceleration.
What’s new
The only notable changes are two new interior colors -- Volcano Red and Linen White -- that include additional aluminum (red) or birchwood (white) dash inlays.
Edmunds says
The first "out of the box" Volvo is showing its age, but with its abundance of safety features, comfortable digs and a smooth ride, it's still an appealing luxury convertible.

Tranny issues plague C70

2004 Volvo C70 LPT 2dr Convertible (2.4L 5cyl Turbo 5A)
I bought my 2004 in 2005 and love the look with the top down.
The main thing to watch out for is the transmission!!!
At 90,000 miles it began to slip and by 120,000 I had to have it rebuilt to the tune of $3500.
Since having this work done I've not had any additional issues but was sorely disappointed in this Volvo as I've owned 6 and this one just pooped out.
Another thing to watch is … to never drive up too close to a parking curb!!!
The bumper is so flexible and low to the ground as to let the car easily run up.
Due to the shape it will literally rip off when you back up.
This has happened to me 2x and I swear I'm not being as stupid as this sounds.
Fabulous Car

2004 Volvo C70 HPT 2dr Convertible (2.3L 5cyl Turbo 5M)
From the asthetic point of view it is a
gorgeous car. The interior is
luxurious and the seats can be adjusted
so that you feel that you have become
one with the car. There is plenty of
leg room as well as more room for
additional passengers. The ride is a
smooth one and you will notice alot of
people looking in your direction. Also
I have been stopped by people … inquiring
about the car. I rave. The sound system
is spectacular and you always feel safe
driving a Volvo.

2004 Volvo C70 LPT 2dr Convertible (2.4L 5cyl Turbo 5A)
Really enjoy the car. Being 6'3", I need more head room than most. This car fits me well. Smooth engine, great looks. Only problems: slow acceleration up slight grades sometimes causes the tranny to slip a bit between 2nd and 3rd. No slip at heavier acceleration though. Also, get verbal abuse about the headlight wipers:Could do without them. Actually room under the hood to work on a few … things myself. Only other nitpick is the slow power seat feature to enter the back seat.

2004 Volvo C70 LPT 2dr Convertible (2.4L 5cyl Turbo 5A)
this is my 2nd ragtop,and I am here to tell the whole truth...these cars can have their quirks,but are full of character.they rattle,aren't the smoothest riding around town,and can be noisy,not to mention,the leather can be high maintenance,and the top can leak around the a-pillars.to replace just the top,is between 1500-2500,for example,but other parts can be found pretty cheap on ebay.
