Model years to avoid

Volvo C70

What it says about you

Opinion

A folding hard-top Volvo, which is a sentence that should not work. Safe, sensible, and roofless.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

8 model years on record, 109 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has none. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

Every year

  1. 2013 0 recalls 11 complaints
  2. 2012 1 recall 23 complaints
  3. 2011 1 recall 13 complaints
  4. 2010 2 recalls 4 complaints
  5. 2009 3 recalls 10 complaints
  6. 2008 3 recalls 22 complaints
  7. 2007 4 recalls 17 complaints
  8. 2006 2 recalls 9 complaints
