Volvo C70 review - What Car?

[@hebiyugasa]

I have one and I love it, its cheep to run, cheep to insure, and a lot of fun. I have had mine about a year now and I enjoy it as much as the day I bought it.

I’m about to join the club! Picked up a mint Red T5 with 24k miles.

[@AlexCorralMexico]

I bought mine yesterday, its like new, it only has 34000 miles and its a 2007 , paid $8000 and its perfect for San Diego CA. Im very happy so far😀

[@hunterklugh5067]

AlexCorralMexico can you say where you got yours

[@jimjam8149]

I brought mine last year with 33k on the clock an 06 plate absolutely mint condition for less that 5k! Couldn’t be happier absolutely wonderful to drive and an absolute bargain!!

[@ny2bama]

$5k really... call BS

This particular model was designed by Pininfarina for Volvo, which is one of the finest automobile designers in the world. it’s a very solid reliable vehicle

[@DrRich1960]

I bought a 2006 C 70 over a year ago with 64k miles. I put 6k on it since I have other cars. I never owned a Volvo in the past but really enjoy the top down cruising in Florida. great get up and go and 25 mpg. Who could complain about that.

[@carlannerstedt6796]

It has a longer life than BMW

[@denster7715]

I own a C30. The interior of this is identical. But it has a detachable roof. I am in love.

[@bboy23nno]

Got a C70 2.4 SE. I dont think it is sluggish. You lot test drive faster cars. That is why you think it is sluggish.

[@Peppermint1]

2.4 base petrol reluctant to rev? Mine goes happily and stays to almost 7000 rpm (170hp version)

[@mbrown2776]

I heave the 2009 C70 SE LUX, 2.1i. Mot, fuel, service that’s all you need to keep going. My third Volvo, no mucking about, reliability good safe drive all the time. Non of this in & out of the garage with this n that going wrong. Had this one now 10 years September gone, my last S60 I had for 14 years, & still had plenty of life in it.

[@michaelonyeka7340]

Which one will you sell to me

[@terminator672]

Bought a black 2.4i c70, manual. Cant wait to pick it up tomorrow

[@maoinc13]

I own a 2013 Volvo c70 t5 with 250hp .... sweet !!!!

[@jintygm]

I love my C70, so much so I shipped it from Scotland to Cyprus when we moved. Gets so much admiration and comments as only maybe another 2 on the whole island and one is an older model (mines 2011) Nightmare for parts though. Tyre place never refitted the boot carpet after a blow out and when discovering this months later (car seldom used due to husbands company car) contacted tyre centre who do nt have it 🤔 Trying everything to scource and ship one to Cyprus😢

[@dnch]

its stupidly cheap now, i think im getting one

even more so now

I have the White one, I love it!!

[@phil955i]

Typical girl comment lol

[@alexsa122]

I am not agree with him refering to the boot space. Even with the roof down, you can put two big bags into, and with the roof up, the boot space increase a lot.

[@ny2bama]

This guy's review sucks.

[@williammiller7593]

I have two Saab 9-3 convertibles which I absolutely love but I'm very curious about the volvos. I've never seen a c70 in real life I'd love to be able to test drive one

[@edwardm.6132]

I've had my silver Volvo c70 for 6 years. Have put about 85k on it. It still looks and drives like new, gets tons of complements, and is a whole lot of fun. I wish I could drive it another 85k, it's been my dream car in every way. May turn it in in the coming years for the new Audi a or s5 convertible. We shall see. Def go for it, you'll love it!

[@somervillearron]

i went from saab to volvo (not directly) i was very very surprised with the volvo but they are still very different cars you should really try one i would suggest maybe a older c70 one thats based on the s70 platform

[@dwboutme]

How do you drive on the M+ MODE?

[@pauldickey9]

we love our Volvo C70, and takes but 30 seconds to retract the hard top!

[@Mike7O7O]

paul dickey Sooooooo, that's ten seconds to make love to your wife, with a whole twenty seconds left over. Yes, I can see your problem :o

[@maoinc13]

So how fast you want it to come down !?? In a second ?? Dumbass

[@mary_asmr5]

I love mine but I’m having trouble with that convertible top keeps saying top malfunction when I hit a bump and now won’t open at all. Need to get it checked out, otherwise it’s been lovely.

[@waynepayne9875]

Give it a good smack see if it helps

[@juliadennehy]

You should. The roof is pure poetry in motion. And, God forbid, you're in a crash... no worries. You'll walk away. Volvo: 'For Life.' And I love my 2011 Flamenco Red C70 too... ;-)

[@gew12]

Great car. Mine is a eye Turner.

[@thecianinator]

I test drove one and I was so enamored I was ready to sign on the dotted line, but then during my test drive the clutch failed on me.

[@ny2bama]

So... did you buy it?

[@thecianinator]

@@ny2bama Nah, manual C70s were too much effort for me to track down and buy when they couldn't promise reliability (clutch failure was endemic to the model), so I bought an IS 350C instead.

[@cameroncameron4274]

you don't buy a diesel convertible it's to be a smooth as possible same as you don't buy a diesel jag

[@stevo63n]

So why wouldn’t you buy a diesel XE/XF/XJ Jag then? I’m intrigued!!!

[@phil955i]

You obvious;y haven't tried the C70 D5 then, the engine suits it very well

[@craigturbo1]

2.4i petrol sluggish don't think so 0.60 in 8.5 seconds diesel about 10.5 seconds. Volvo c70'best cabro out for me easy i own a 2.4i se c70!

[@maoinc13]

I have 2013 Volvo c70 t5 250hp ... sweet !!!!

[@phil955i]

You're talking about the 2.0 diesel, of course that's going to be slower than a 2.4 litre 5 cylinder petrol lol. Try the D5, 10 bhp more than the 2.4 petrol & a heck of a lot more torque, along with significantly better fuel economy ;-)

[@oliversjmildmay2970]

Brilliant Review THANK You

[@MartigenLT]

i think 7 months is enough to buy a car, so it's for other users: 2.4 is better in terms of cost and maintance, 2.5 is more powerfull, less fuel efficient and you have to worry about the turbo.

[@stoyannikolov4191]

What car reviews, what a joke.

[@SIMcityplayer2002]

These people are comparing C70 to 3-Series they no nothing.

[@MrBarrynicholas]

That is a lousy review!

[@ForgottenHorrorchannel]

barry nicholas i was thinking the same my dad has T5 and its rapid not sluggish and turns heads always the ride is very comfortable and feels strong.. dont know what this guy is talking about

Who want´s to listen to a diesel engine when the top is down?

[@2steaksandwiches665]

Prefer gen1 better. They are going up in value for a good one. It’s stupid

[@adrianleon1731]

Wtf why is the interior basic?

[@matthewmtt]

It's the "Nordic" aesthetic. Same with their furniture. The materials are high quality but they like super clean.

[@phil955i]

Think "Ikea furniture" ...Scandinavian stylish minimalism

[@kieshalova5627]

Volvo can't even fix the convertible top.. I'm disappointed

[@tg2638]

Why is dude sitting in the backseat while alone in the car?

[@Cloud007.]

I've found that What Car? reviews are like a bunch of motoring terms but all manufactured together by an AI that makes little sense or has any value.
