is a volvo c70 a good car?

Question

someone give me some facts on this car

Answer 1

I really like them. I was going to buy one some years back. I ran into a hassle with the salesman. He wouldn't give me the employee discount price. The "A" plan for Ford. He wouldn't even let me use a "X" plan number. He told me to get someone in supervision to cut me a "X" plan number. Then he gave me a price on my trade in that was an insult.
I called Detroit and asked them about it, and they said that I could use the "A" plan. About a month or two later, the union came out and said that it had to be a car built by UAW employees to be eligible for the discount plan.
So I bought a Mustang GT convertible instead.

The C70 has developed a cult following of Volvo enthusiasts due to its groundbreaking design and its touring car performance.[citation needed] The C70 is a heavy car for its size due to numerous safety features. The car performs best at high speeds, overtaking traffic with power bursts from its turbocharged engine. The manual transmission makes the most of the straight-5 engine, but is rare in North America.

A series of special edition models was made in the beginning of the production run featuring a unique two-tone premium leather interior. Other optional equipment made standard in this special edition include the SC-900 (coupe) and SC-901 (convertible) Dolby Surround Sound stereo with 3-disc integrated changer unit (via a cartridge) and 12 Dynaudio speakers.

The C70 met with limited success overall due to a limited demand for coupes in general and cost (roughly US$43,000 for convertible and US$39,000 for coupe). The coupe model has a smoother roof line than the convertible due to the ribs necessary in a soft top. The second generation C70 remedies this by using a three-piece retractable hard top.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in the United States recently conducted its first crash tests of several convertibles and has awarded the Volvo C70 as one of their "Top Safety Picks". Volvo C70 has really set the benchmark for convertible safety in regards to occupant protection with a number of safety systems, including the unique Inflatable Curtain for side impact protection.
