Pros: Rare, Stylish
Cons: Not Much Cargo Space
Volvo really is making a convertible. The $42,995 C70 is Volvo's first soft-top since like the 50's if i'm not mistaken in my research. This model so rare most auto buffs probably don't remember it. The new steel-body convertible is the soft-top version...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: Looks great. Fun to drive when it works
Cons: The least reliable car I have ever owned. Always in the shop. Parts unavailable.
The Bottom Line: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING ONE. Multiple problems, inadequate supply of available parts and uncaring, robotic customer service are a bad combination. Too may other good cars out there!
DON'T BUY IT.
I could probably end the review here and you'd get my point but if you're even close to thinking about a Volvo I should explain why not to buy one.
This car has been in the repair shop more than the last three cars...

Pros: Great gas milage, armor-like safety, stylish
Cons: Slower acceleration than what you'd expect
My mother has purchased seven Volvo's in a row, starting back in her college days (she was smart). This just shows you one families loyalty to the Swedish car maker, as many other safe families can attest. You probably know that the only vehicle that...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: performance; interior; style
Cons: rear visibility; rear seat access
I would never have considered a Volvo. Safety is well down my list of priorities, not having had a real accident in 18 years. Performance matters a lot to me, and the Volvos I had ridden in and driven would be an insult to the word...

I find the...

Pros: Great ride, very safe, roomy
Cons: moving seat for rear passengers is slow
We recently bought the 2000 Volvo C70 and have found it to be everything we read about and more. We looked at a number of convertibles and chose the Volvo for three reasons: safety, room, looks. The C70 carries on the Volvo safety tradition with a...

Pros: Safety,Comfort,Roominess,Sound system,Quietness of ride.

Pros: Looks good, plenty of power
Cons: Doesn't look good broken down in the garage, not a lot of power sitting in the repair shop all the time, awful service and reliability, awful dealership support, holier than thou dealerships that want you to thank them for buying their overpriced piece of
We bought this car new off the showroom eight months ago. I sold my Mercedes and bought the Volvo C-70 convertible high powered turbo. What a mistake. The car has less than 8000 miles. I have owned cars for twenty-five years and have never had a car...

Pros: Fast, Stylish, Volvo Safe
Cons: can't think of any
I have had my Volvo C70 for almost a year now. I bought one of the first that was available. I bought the high powered coupe, the only option that I didn't get were the factory installed BBS wheels.
What can i say, to this day I am as happy...

I was in Florida last week and had the opportunity to rent a convertible. To my surprise, I was able to rent a C70 convertible! I was so excited since I think this is an extremely handsome car. When Hertz dropped me off at the vehicle, I was a little...

When i first saw this vehicle i fell in love with its unique look. I saw it driving on the road and i said to myself, I need that car. I went to the dealer ship and they told me about the side impact and whip lash protection systems which made me feel...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Beautiful to look at and drive.
Cons: Pricey.
When people talk of a Volvo many still think of 'a box with wheels'. But they would be wrong, very wrong. A revolution, started first with the elegant S40, and following soon after the popular V40 estate. In a move to perhaps create a new image the Volvo...
