Volvo C70 Convertible (1999 - 2005) 2.0T 2d (2000/V) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Don't really know but people will look when you go past with the top down.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Girlfriend loves it and family and friends all think its a good-looking car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Not sure as there is a new model out which I do not like as much.

What are you likely to buy next?

Nissan 350Z or maybe Audi TT

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

April 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a reasonably good deal as convertibles are not that popular and I was not trading in.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I bought it because I had always wanted a convertible when I was little. It looks lovely, has quite a lot of power and there are not a lot of them on the road.

What was the dealer like?

I found them good to deal with

What's it like to drive?

It's reasonably enjoyable to drive although the handling isn't brilliant. The engine is powerful and overtaking is easy. It's a great car for long drives as it is very comfortable.

What's it like to park?

It's pretty bad to parallel park as it's long with poor rear visibility and a very large turning circle. Apart from that you can park it most places.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The passenger window regulator has broken (one of the documented problems with this make and very expensive to fix) The throttle body was replaced under warranty (again a known problem)

What's most practical about your car?

For a 2 door it can hold 4 passengers comfortably. I also love having air conditioning and heated seats.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Great factory stereo but probably air conditioning as you really notice the difference in the Summer.
