"Great for anyone who wants the sporty convertible but still be able to haul kids, etc. around too. Very roomy backseat seating for two. HT version has incredible pick up - this thing will scoot. I had the Dolby Pro-Logic sound system - probably the best sound system I've ever heard in a car. Safety features are impressive. Seats are extremely comforatble (and love the heated seats feature). Only negative - ride fairly firm, feel a lot of bumps, etc.; but, I had the low profile tires and I've heard it would be somewhat softer with normal tires."

"The C70 has plenty of power and sporty handling. Interior is comfortable, and the ride is very smooth. For a convertible, the back seat is rather roomy - plenty of room for kids, and adequate for adults. Roll over protection and side air bags are huge safety features. The system for the top is really nice. By pushing one button, the top goes down in 30 seconds and is enclosed completely. The car looks great with the top up, but it's shape is really sharp with the top down. I think the C70 is one of the best 4-passenger convertibles around."

"I have had 87 cars. I am a trained mechanic and I know cars. I have had everything from a 328 GTS to a VW Bug. I love the styling and the car has great pick up. The problem and it is a real problem is the ride. You would expect it to ride like my old 960 but it doesn't. It is harsh, bumpy and the wheel even shakes from time to time. I have 17K miles on the car so I went to the dealer and he said maybe if I changed the tires to a higher profile tire it would help but this is the way they are suppose to ride. Ride is very important to me. When I was younger it didn't matter that much but now I want a more soft and responsive ride. I loved the ride on my MB SL handeled like one of my 911's but felt like an S class. This car should have been designed better. I am sure I will sell it soon but it is to bad as the car has drop dead looks, plenty of options and a great interior. If you don't mind the ride it a hell of a car."
