Write a review
Volvo's convertible came back in 2006, hoping to wow the world with its new feature: a three-section, retractable hardtop. It returned after an extra year of retooling after the 2004 model year - a 2005 C70 does not exist. The four-seater's steel top features a glass window that provides more rear visibility than the earlier soft-top versions did when in the up position. That's a useful improvement for sure, especially in a Volvo, where safety is the theme. The 2.5-liter, 5-cylinder engine doles out 218 horsepower and features a light-pressure turbocharger for a bit of additional pep. A 6-speed manual overdrive transmission came standard, with an optional 5-speed automatic available. The list of standard equipment included air conditioning (you'll need it - it's going to rain now and then), power doors and windows, and power seats. Volvo's well-reputed safety components are a given, too, with air bags, side-impact beams, and the patented Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) all in there. ABS, traction control, and stability control join in for good measure, but this car was not made with AWD. Pop-up roll bars wait in the wings to help protect the occupants if the unspeakable should happen. In online reviews, John Q. User praised the car for its looks, speediness, and comfort. Some grumbled about the seemingly oversized doors and the disappointing gas mileage, but the head-turning appearance of the car (especially when the top is doing its thing) probably makes them forget about their frequent fill-ups. There were also some mild complaints concerning the trunk space - you have to get accustomed to the diminished capacity when you have the top down.

I really liked having this car, loved the seamless convertible transition. The backseats were nice to have even if they weren't very comfortable or spacious. Compared to the Mercedes SLK hardtop, it was great to have the option of the backseat. Loved how sleek everything is. The power was decent, I had an automatic transmission, though I regularly drive a manual transition. Turbo was decent, not the best or the worst on the market. Very spacious inside, even if it was an optical illusion. Very eye catching car with the top down. I'm sad to say it was totaled in a hailstorm a month after I bought it.Jan 04, 2014

heavy on juice, but the looks out do the bad. what a car loads of room in the car and can still get a full set of golf clubs and trolley in the limited boot (folding roof). on a long run you can get over 30mpg it is a all round cruising carAug 19, 2008

Nothing beats speed and safety all in, Acceleration I find two be very important, especially when in predicament of having to react fast, or just simply being in control of such a quality car, makes driving a joy......Aug 04, 2008

thinking of buying
How can we tell if the roof leaks in the C70, buying it used? Are there other issues we should check out first? The car has 10,000 miles on it, and they're asking 21,000 dollars US. Is that a good price? Thanks for your help.
