2009 Volvo C70 User Reviews

Pros

Nice looking, relatively rare and thus distinct. Good build quality. Great MPG.ge excellent..

Cons

Ride somewhat harsh. Pick-up more than adequate but not outstanding.

Have had car a month after driving two CLK convertibles over six years costing minimum of $12,000 more. Only difference --CLKs ride less harshly. On the other hand, am getting almost 8 MPG more w/Volvo. Car very subtle. Rear view mirror tells you your compass reading, for example. Stuff opens and shuts with soft clicks. Admire the car's esthetics. Dash and interior stripped of all but necessities. Controls intuitive. Navigation system pops up and in direct sunlight hard to read. Also, tried driving from Pasadena CA to Claremont and system had no idea how to get me there. Stereo upgrade unnecessary as standard system superior to one in 2005 CLK. What I like best is having a unique car that gets wonderful gas mileage, close to 30MPG on highway and close to 20 around town. Also got $11,000 off sticker on lease. Will keep three years and likely buy as residuals are, unlike those with BMW, reasonable.
