2001 Volvo C70 consumer reviews

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 xxxx of a car.
