2009 Volvo C70 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
A Scandinavian convertible might seem like an oxymoron, but Volvo built one anyway. It might not be the flashiest convertible on the market, but the C70 is tested as the safest, staying true to the Volvo name. A carryover from 2008, the C70 sees no major changes for 2009 and is built on the Volvo D1 platform, along with the S40, V50, and the C30.
The only North American trim available is the T5, which has a 2.5-liter, inline five-cylinder engine that reaches 227 hp. For mileage, the C70 achieves 18 mpg city, and 27 mpg highway. The two transmissions available are a six-speed manual and a five-speed automatic, both of which are front-wheel drive. The C70 can seat four adults comfortably.
A fusion of coupe and convertible, the C70 utilizes a retractable hard top that can be lowered or raised in about 30 seconds. When down, it fits completely in the luggage compartment, leaving some room for actual luggage. When the hard top is up, it creates a quieter, more secure cabin than its soft-top counterparts.
A leather interior comes standard for the C70, along with a 6-disk CD changer. The interior looks refined, clean, and comfortable, but Volvo spent more of their money on safety than extra frills, so luxuries like a navigation system or heated seats are extra-cost options.
As with many new convertibles, the C70 comes standard with auto-extendable rollover bars. When a rollover is detected, the hoop bars extend from behind the rear passengers. For the first time, the C70 is equipped with front and rear passenger side impact curtains that deploy from the door. Along with the standard list of safety features of antilock brakes, dual front airbags, and traction control, Volvo adds a stability control mechanism that senses and assists the driver when a skid is detected.

Great vehicle and a lot of run when you drop the top on nice days. Good size car, good on gas.

The car was clearly wrecked and it not reported. There are large paint scratches and scuffs. The front bumper is bent and sticks out in the right side. It was an obvious car accident that was not reported. Feb 22, 2022

The car has been one of the best I have owned (G35; MB Kompressor; BMW 3 series). Loved the fast response, MPG, fun convertible, the look and the control of the car. Unfortunately I just had a baby and does not fit my lifestyle any longer. Jul 18, 2012

Extreemly confortable; very easy to operate the convertible hard top; super sound system, great great handling around the curves, I feel secure inside my C-70.... It has a great built quality..no doubt about it accomp[anied by a great market re-sell value with Volvo's reputation...Perhaps need more acceleration power
extremly fun to have...I love itAug 12, 2009

This is the best hard top convertible on the market for the
price! This car has no flaws! The car turns on a dime and
performs beautifully on the open road! This car has a 12
speaker concert hall sound system that rocks all the way!
This car is off the charts fun to drive!!Jul 31, 2009

My 2009 C70 is a well built and enjoyable car to drive. Heads turn when people see the jigsaw like roof retract into the trunk. The 5 cylinder engine provides very good but not overwhelming acceleration, but other compensations abound like a spacious trunk area for a convertible, dynamic radio and speaker system, nimble handling, and seating for four. Having priced BMWs, Saabs, and various Audi models, I'd have to say this is the best value for the money. Volvos are known for their safety and this C70 is solidly built.Apr 28, 2009
