A newer old car

From my 04 c70 to my 09 c70 it's day and night not just from soft top to hard but an entirely different animal. Interior seems more stylish. The old one had more bells and whistles but the hard top was the draw. I have put a brand new top on my 04. But a sagging headliner on the 09 did not deter me from a trade. a 1 hour fix, its perfect now. A few scratches a dent or two does not take away from the stellar styling. I never seem to be alone as the car seems to garner attention wherever I go. Smooth, heavy, stylish, comfortable, reliable, safe are the words it inspires. It seems to outweigh the 04 but it's leaps and bounds more stylish. 108k miles I stole the car at the price I got it for. (saggy Headliners scare people off thankfully) a toy for sunny days it must compete with my cruiser and my 2018 mb glc300 if the sun is shining it wins almost every time. It's a nice sunny day cruiser. I've been after it for years. I was proud of my benz, but in my drop top c70 I've finally arrived.

Good experience driving top down but not when the top is up. It generates too much rattles from plastic panel door and roof

Purchased my black C70 in August. My initial impressions are great. I wasn't expecting Vette performance, so acceleration/ handling are adequate. No shudders/creeks in the body top up or down. Exterior design is beautiful- by far the most attractive Volvo. Interior also designed well-- drivers seat is comfortable and very adjustable. Chose standard sound system and I am pleasantly suprised by the acoustics. Both the iPod and Bluetooth interface are awesome. Some of the interior bits and surfaces could be of a higher quality (dash, wheel, door trim). The key is cumbersome, and I wish I'd opted for keyless with this car. Overall, I love the versatility and design.

I purchased this vehicle after reviewing several others including the V6 Mustang convertible. I am pleased with the quality and luxury of the design. The nav system is relatively simple and intuitive. The audio system is excellent. The aggressive ability of the acceleration is wonderful.

This Car Relaxes Me

This car will make you want to cruise, listen to good music, and enjoy the scenery. I find it very comfy. The trunk room and rear seats have no other competition in the hard top convertible space. The interior storage is definitely adequate. Those three main reasons are why I went with the C70 over the BMW 328i hardtop even though the lease on the BMW worked out to be $10 cheaper a month. It's simply a more 'usable' car... it's even rated to tow! The car does have some oddities that need to be addressed, though. See below.
