I bought the C70 new in 2011. It has always been garage kept.I have another vehicle I use during the winter and any kind of bad weather.I recently had my annual inspection done at my Volvo dealer,Stillman of West Chester PA. Usually the only service that's usually done at the inspection is an oil change because of the low mileage. This time I was told I had rust under the car that make my ASC/Anti-skid system in-operable keeping in mind the car has 6,081 original miles. The cost to fix this issue is over $ 700.00. How in God's name is it possible a garage kept car with 6,0811 miles can possible develop a rust issue. I wrote to Volvo and their response was simply "your car is no longer under warranty. So much for Volvo customer care after the sale.

From its Pinifarina inspired design to its Volvo safety and solidity; this is a great car. After 5 months it is still free of squeaks and rattles. Road and wind noise are minimal at top-up speeds up to 85 mph and top-down up to 65 mph. I average 21 mpg at 25 mph and 26 mpg at 65 mph. The Edmunds review software forced me to select a Manual transmission; it only comes in automatic but the transmission works great.

I've had the C70 for a couple of weeks. Compared the C70 to the BMW 3 series. Glad I bought the C70. It's a fun car to drive and very stylish. All the complaints I've read in other reviews have been resolved with the 2011 model. It has plenty of power for my driving style and good passenger room. I have the convenience and climate packages. The car is a real head turner when parked at the local restaurant or gas station.

Quite a nice piece of work. It combines so many exceptional features. First off is the exterior design. Neatly sculpted and quite fashionable. Easy on the eyes and will draw a lot of envious stares whether the top is up or down. Most naturally I prefer the top down. Makes getting to and from work a delight and not a chore. While not the top dog in the horsepower race, it won't disappoint either. Particularly when you want to pass. It accomplishes that in convincing style. I have not to experienced the safety/crash features and hope I never do. Knowing that they are there is reassuring. Fuel economy is quite acceptable. Not having to use premium gas a real plus. I really like this car!

Purchased November 2011, new...Mustang performance is better. Mustang reliability is much better. And we are a long time Volvo family ! What a shock to get this one and it is the last one for us. I bought this car for my children and grandchildren to be safe, but it is difficult to know whether it is safe because I cannot keep it running.... It seems that if the car is not driven daily, the battery runs down. The dealer insists that nothing is wrong with the battery. The tires wore out early , apparently because of an alignment problem that caused front and rear tires to wear on the inside. Although the car was taken in for regular maintenance, this was not discovered until the tires were non-viable. Little parts were regularly found lying in the car ( they matched the car interior) and appear to be covers for something, but the dealer has no idea what. The piece in front of the passenger feet keeps falling down and must be repositioned. It has been replaced by the dealer without improvement. There Is a side hatch on the driver's side that will not stay closed. It has been replaced without benefit. There are more gnawing problems. I just had to get a coil replaced. we were out of town for 2 weeks and my dayghter had to get people with much older vehicles to provide transportation because no one could keep the car cranked due to presumably the battery ( hard to know . The car will not crank. But cannot open car without emergency key and lights do not come on). I am attempting to charge the battery with heavy duty charger, unsuccessfully. I can get the lights to come on sometimes. When I complained again at the dealer while waiting to get the battery checked last time, the salesman tried to sell me another car!!! This one is not paid for....it cost $10,000 more than a mustang, but would be safe and dependable for the family. In April of 2017, I was able to trade the Volvo in for a Kia. As we were about to trade, the head liner fell down. On an internet search, we found that others have had this same problem. You may also want to make sure that the trunk latch is working. You will need to test doors and trunk while keys are out of range, as they automatically unlock doors and trunk as you approach. The 66,617 mileage is the mileage just prior to trade in at 5.5 years. This is very low mileage for us.
