2003 VOLVO C70 CONVERTIBLE
This model year
What the record shows
The 2003 Volvo C70 Convertible is a subcompact car, and the 6th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1998 to 2009.
The EPA rated three configurations: engines from 2.3-litre five-cylinder to 2.4-litre five-cylinder, front-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on premium gasoline.
Combined fuel economy is 20 mpg.
No complaints, recalls, investigations or service bulletins are on the federal record for this model year.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
