We finally got our C70 delivered just before July 4th via OSD. We are still collecting mileage data (and still going through break-in). The first few tanks were a bit depressing, until break-in when we started seeing 27-28 combined driving and 29+ on highway using premium (93).

Before you purchase a Volvo C70 try it. Rent one for a week. These vehicles are not selling well at all. For the 2010 C70 there is $6,000 dealer money. Because there is dealer money, this vehicle can be purchased thousands below invoice. These vehicles have one annoying problem, they leak. They leak in car washes and some rain storms.

bjorn 1 "sort of a poser sports car" "POSER" sports car, the C70 with the 18" wheels, the HPT engine and a 5 speed is probably the sportiest thing in its field: Lexus: nice v8, no manual transmission MB CLK: again, nice engines, but UGLY interior and no manual tranny BMW's 3 series is amazing, but I could actually transport more than 2 people ...

Yes, I, too, have heard the C70's will be discontinued. It's really a shame, but it will make my '99 C70 convertible even more special! They are a relatively low production item. According to Volvo Cars of North America only 3,269 C70 convertibles were sold in …

Both of the tires on the very inside are like this. I was told by a Volvo tech, that the C70 has some suspension problems and what was showing was a known problem with them.

I have a Volvo C70 convertible also and my top went 1/2 way up and stopped. Would not go down or up. All fuses were fine. I had to use tools to take off the boot from the hinges so I could get into the trunk so I could use the crank. Then I had to also use the crank inside the car, up by the rear view mirror so I could lock the top down.

I recently purchased a 2004 C70 with 8,800 miles on it...now has 13,300. Have noticed two problems and wonder how common these are. 1. steering pops when turned to extremes or hit a rough surface with wheel turned and 2. check engine light sometimes comes on...diagnosed as catalytic converter problem. Otherwise, very impressed with car.
