This car is highly underrated it has a great look and shape that many vehicles don't have it. It is imported from Sweden, so expect to pay more for mechanical maintenance but over all is well put together. If you look for style this vehicle will stand from the rest. Considering than most BMW, Hondas, Lexus etc. they all kinda look the same. Even tough there is great room for improvement (engine power), the price and affordability will balance that. This is not a family car but for you and your partner is perfect. Good luck finding one.

This is a great car! It rides like a coupe but has the fun of a convertible. From the aggressive nose to the LED taillights it is a nice looking and well engineered ride. The celestial blue gives it an air of dignity but the 18 inch rims give it that sport look. The gas mileage is so-so 19 in the city but you don't buy it for that...it has all the Volvo safety features and the 5 year (covers everything) warranty is "just in case." Had to wait for this special order...2 months...but the spring timing was perfect. The dealership, Fairfax Volvo, made certain that the car was perfect. Very pleased...enjoying the sun!!!
Fun Car BUT......

Have never owned a European car, convertible or a car with a turbo charged engine. Got all three in the C-70. Realize this is a sports car and designed for performance however the design is flawed and eats rear tires at a rapid rate! Have taken the car to the Oklahoma City Volvo Dealership repeatedly as I had to replace tires every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. They told me this is the way the car is designed and there isn't anything that can be done to correct it. I have had enough. Besides burning through 4 tires in less than 25,000 miles, another problem is the car is now discontinued, no longer in production and considered an orphan with a considerable hit to resale value. I now have European cars, convertibles and cars with turbo charged engines out of my system and will not go down this road again!

Dealership personnel are Not knowledgeable about their vehicles. I have found more info online than they will ever know or admit to. No-one has ever said the RDAR makes the computer search for a signal day and night so if you don't start your car often the battery will discharge. RDAR is a service you can Buy form Volvo if you Buy it problem solved. Enjoy the monthly payment on that! There was or is a lawsuit about this, see google. No-one at a dealership will admit or they are so ignorant about their vehicles you can't get a straight answer. If your windows stop going up and down automatically you must reset them, well good luck trying to reset them your self. It is Not in the owners manual. Even the techs on the forum will not give you a straight answer. I would not recommend a Volvo to anyone. The older ones in the 70's were good 2000 and up you are asking for problems.
