After one month, this is my favorite Volvo in initial quality and design. I have owned a 850 GLT and currently own an S80. The C70 is quieter at interstate speeds than my S80 and my wife and I feel like we are in a snug, safe, comfortable cocoon when driving. It's just plain fun to drive and we also like the head-turning effect.

Headliner dropped

I just got my 2011 c70 t5 I also have an 2006. I'm a convertible fan,I'm hoping the 2011 keeps well as far as staying dependable. I noticed most reviews people went to the dealership. I've always taken my 06 to a master MECHANIC that specializes in foreign cars like Volvo,BMW,and Mercedes. He has kept the car on the road and for nowhere near the price of the dealership's. The 11 top headliner has fallen and it's my fault the previous owner had it garage kept,but it's now in this Ga heat with the windows up so that an easy fix thanks to YouTube. I'm not ready to throw in the towel on Volvo just yet.

Don't own it out of Warranty

We enjoy the car but it is not reliable. This car driven by a housewife to from school shopping etc well maintained by dealer not abused in any way Original battery failed after a year. Warranty battery failed after 18 months. At 49K just before warranty expired rear suspension failed (stabilizer bars bushings etc. )_ Destroyed new tires. At 51k AC COMPRESSOR FAILED ONE THOUSAND MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. At 55k headliner suddenly and completely detached. At 60K Oxygen sensor failed. At 65k brake caliper leaked and needed replacement. At 72K car started shuddering....... left and right transaxles BOTH failed and needed to be replaced. At 80k hard top started leaking. At about 84K main seals failed very expensive $2K. This card was serviced on schedule and well taken care of and has been a money pit. I will NEVER buy a Volvo again. Anyone considering buying a used C70 BEWARE. UPDATE: At 94k the hardtop convertible deployment mechanism failed dealer estimated $2500 to repair. Certainly not from over use...I'd say we deployed the top a few times a month max. So now we no longer have a functioning convertible. Also the front headliner that THE DEALER replaced at 55k is slowly detaching in one corner. At this point we are just letting our 16 year old drive it to school as long as the AC holds up...I am assuming the turbo or the tranny will go next ugh and we will likely donate it to charity since it has virtually no trade in value and I'd have to be crazy to put any more money into this car. All this on a car that was bought new impeccably dealer maintained, and driven lightly. Mistake not to trade it in at the first sign of trouble but my wife just didn't want to part with her red convertible. To Volvo I say drop dead. I

Unbelievable issue with 2011 c70 with 6,000 origin

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.
