I have had a 2008 white C70 for around 8 months. I considered it and a BMW 3 series, but found that I liked the way the C70 drove better. On the highway at reasonable speeds, I regularly get 32 mpg, but if I want power, it's there as well. Electronically regulated to 150 miles per hour, this car will hold its own with virtually anything on the road. At 130 mph, the engine really didn't even seem like it was trying and I could tell it still had a lot of top end room left. I get comments daily when I drive it. The car also handles like a dream. The only negatives are that the trunk is obviously small, especially when the top is down, and the back seat doesn't have a ton of room, but it is enough. Of course, meither is what I bought the car for - for my kids, I drive an SUV, for dad, however, I drive the
C70. Of all the things I have ever spent significant amounts on, this is the one that has given me the most pleasure for the dollar. Oh, and don't forget, this is a Volvo, so you have the safety second to no other convertible on the road (but with a hard top, no wind noise). Lastly, this isn't a car where you look like you are trying too hard to be young and cool - again, it's a Volvo.
