Great decision on the Volvo C70 T5. The car rides great! Even though it sits low, accelerates and corners like a sports car, it still rides comfortably. Driving it in Miami traffic was fun and provided no problem competing in that aggressive market. Driving it the 10-11 hours back to LaGrange...
Thanks gents. It's even more fun than I anticipated. The reviews I watched and/or read daid that the suspension and performance were a hybrid between sport and passenger but this thing hunkers down and scoots. It's no Ferrari of course but in this schizoid Miami traffic, it's great at getting...
Deed is done. I'm leaving Monday morning for 5 nights in Miami and made a deal with the Volvo dealership there to buy a 2006 Volvo C70 T5 Convertible. It has a retractable hard top, 90K miles, a very nice Car Fax history and will be all mine Monday evening or Tuesday morning depending on how...
I had to abort a trip to Marietta this morning. Was going up to look at 2 Volvos and a BMW but two if the cars fell thru befor I got out of the driveway so I bagged the whole trip.
LOL! I got to "Fiat Spider" and I thought you were psychotic! Laughing my ass off thinking of what a contrast you put up driving in in an El Dog and out in a door stop. Yeah. Big block madness and a FRONT WHEEL DRIVE! LOL.
As for my dream car it would be a '69/70 drop top Chevy Impala SS with a...
Roadster. Too small for what I want. Besides, it's really not about the drive train. For me owning a Mercedes is about owning a Mercedes. Which I may never do from the looks of it. The CLK320 looks good but the only ones I've found in my price range that were 4 seaters were an '01 and an '02...
Haven't found a BMW with the retractable hardtop yet. But from what I've seen they have zero trunk space when the tops down. The Sebring and Volvo(still can't believe I'm even considering Volvo) both have decent space in the trunk even with the hardtop stowed. And since the plan is to take the...
Probly...LOL
How about a Volvo?
I'm tellin ya, these retractable hardtops are getting under my skin. And the Volvo and Sebring are the only two I have seen that still have some trunk space with the top down. Actually, ALL the other retractable hardtops I've seen are roadster sized. Oh and I...
I know I made my decision...(I think. LOL), but I've been reading about the Mercedes naming convention and trying to get a handle on the specifics. And, as StuP said, the CLK is not exactly top of the line for Mercedes. So, with the added cost of import(especially Mercedes) parts and labor, I...
I started looking more into the Solara after your post. I just skipped them for looks and "Toy factor" from the outset. After looking at them more they seem less like a rag top and more like a Camry that Toyota decided to cut the top off of to get market share. They are reviewed as having soft...
