Explore the 2012 Volvo C70

First convertible I've owned

I bought this car in 2013 with less than 10K miles on it (certified pre-owned at the now closed Volvo dealer in Thousand Oaks, CA). I love this car, but I'm so glad I bought the maintenance contract along with the extended warranty. It has never let me down or had to be towed but it has had more than its fair share of warranty repairs. The suspension had some major issues but that may have been due to the poor quality roads and streets in Los Angeles. I will most likely be driving my C70 Volvo for many more years as I have no intention of ever selling it.

Great hardtop convertible

I wish they would start making these again, great form factor, well designed and well made. Electronics are a bit dated but the vehicle is a winner.

Super Fun and Comfortable Car

I adore this car - it is fast, comfortable, reliable and safe. I traded in my volvo S40 for this one and I have never regretted it!

Top down fun, Volvo safety and design

I was looking for a convertible to use in non-winter weather (I have an AWD SUV beater for that). Looked at Mustang, Miata and BMW, but fell in love with the C70. The car is not a sports car, but a GT. Great ride, more than adequate handling and performance and a superb look inside and out.

Nice car and conformable ride

Great car to drive, easy handling and comfortable. I recommend a Volvo to anyone in need of a safe and reliable car. I've owned a number of Volvos over the years and have never been disappointed. The dealers has always been helpful to fit me with the model that works well for me and my family.

Best hard top convertible

This car is stylish, sporty and utterly amazing. I test drove a Toyota Solara before I bought this Volvo. The Toyota rattled at every bump. Not the Volvo though. It is a good solid car.

Love my used 2012 Volvo C70

Been contemplating purchasing this model for a while now and finally took the plunge after locating a 2012 in great shape with decent mileage. Very pleased with how the car looks and drives since purchasing a month ago. Dealer experience was smooth and overall time for the purchase was about 2 hours - not bad. Nothing beats a convertible with the wind blowing through your hair and this car is tough to beat.
