2008 Volvo C70 ReviewThe 2008 Volvo C70 is currently the only convertible that the company is selling this year, though once one takes a look at all that the car has to offer it’s hard to see why they’d need another model. Starting out at $39240 the C70 has a ton of features that come standard and almost as many options that make it easy to customize to suit almost anyone’s needs.

On the preventive safety side of the aisle, the ‘08 C70 offers rear fog lights with Auto-off, daytime running lights, emergency brake lights (EBL), front fog lights, a rear glass window and side marker lights. The car also comes standard with the DSTC Anti-skid System and an Anti-locking Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Assistance (EBA). For an additional $700, purchasers can add Bi-Xenon Headlights.

When it comes to protective safety, everything comes standard and there’s nothing to tack on to the overall bill of the vehicle. From Volvo’s Whiplash Protection System (WHIPS) to an energy-absorbing interior and Roll-Over Protection System (ROPS), it’s all included. Other features like the reinforced passenger compartment, head restraints for all seats and side impact airbags for both the driver and front passenger also comes equipped with the ’08 C70.

The C70 is also strong on security. The emergency trunk release, remote controlled central locking system, door mirrors with puddle lights and lockable covered storage in front doors are details that the engineers at Volvo made sure not to overlook.

An optional Homelink remote garage door opener is a nice addition that purchasers may want to make, and prevents the driver from always having to tote around a separate garage remote control. Finally, the C70 comes with a fantastic standard warranty that will cover the car for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first.
