Is the Volvo C70 a good car to buy?
The Volvo C70 is an effortless and comfortable cruiser. It was a bargain buy at 8 years old because it gets 35mpg at best and 30mpg round town but then I have averaged only 8,000 miles per year. I paid |£3,500 for it and I’ve had it over 3 years with only regular servicing, tyres etc and one major repair.
Who was the designer of the Volvo C70?
Peter Horbury designed the exterior and Mexican designer Jose Diaz de la Vega led the interior design team. The C70 broke Volvo’s decades-long styling tradition of boxy, rectilinear designs and was Volvo’s first luxury coupe since the 780.
When did the Volvo C70 retractable hardtop come out?
The C70 retractable hardtop replaces its predecessors two models: both the convertible and the coupé, the latter which had been absent from Volvo’s lineup since 2003. The retractable hardtop went on sale in the U.S. in spring 2006.
Why does the Volvo C70 have a curtain?
The curtain has an extra stiff construction with double rows of slats that are slightly offset from each other. This allows them to remain upright and offer effective head protection even with the window open. The curtain also deflates slowly to provide protection should the car roll over.
Absolutely horrible! Claimed vehicle was thoroughly inspected. 4WD was NO GOOD. Wouldn’t come down on the price and expected me to cover expenses for the repairs. Read 2 more dealer reviews…

Why did Volvo use vacuum in the 60’s?
Beginning in the 60’s engineers began to use the vacuum in the intake system to draw the gasses out of the crankcase. This would create positive crankcase ventilation and re-burn these gasses, so there was less pollution. There were studiesdone at the time that showed 50% of the hydro-carbons in the air were from crankcase ventilation.
