Car gets unusually high compliments for its looks

It is 21 years old and it still gets compliments when the top is down but never when it is up. I look forward to warm sunny days now.

Nice car for the DIY

LOoks current, nice styling, ride is good, and acceleration is fine with the LT coupe. Mileage 26 mpg. Good enough. If not 'joy ridden,' engine and tranny keep well. little things (mostly of brittle plastic) like window regulators, sunroof, steering bump stops (that stop wheels from rubbing wheel well) wear, and costly if mechanic or dealer, but if you can do it yourself, all are fine, needs a timing belt change every 100k, again, costly if mechanic's prices.

2000 C70

My car gave me fits with the roof. Roof design is poor because it shakes I believe due to the coupe design. Nice acceleration. Heavy price tag for maintenance and brakes go around 20K. After 50 K good luck with repairs.

Recall Issues

Car Is great but forget trying to get anything fixed that Is a recall Issue. Check out recalls and then contact Volvo help and you will see what I am talking about. Recalls are listed as vehicle speed control on cars.com had It put on diagnostic and was told the same thing. Volvo help center said this was never an Issue. Just buy a cheaper car and when you have to fight to get something fixed you are saving money both ways. Had plans to buy a newer one but this has put me off Of Volvos.

Might be my favorite car ever!

Bought my 2000 volvo c70 convertible used in June 2012. The car is beautiful. I get thumbs up from other drivers all the time. The minuses:The top sometmes has issues seating itself (especially if you park on an upward incline) so I look for a level surface. When top is up the back window makes for limited rear visibility and though the rear passenger compartment is adult useable getting in and out is a challenge. The plus's: The seat positions are fantastic you feel like you're in your easy chair, the car definitely has get up and go! The MPG city/highway is about 23. My daughter is learning to drive and loves this car. So I'm looking for the second one.
