Good morning from the UK

I'm thinking of buying a C70 2.4T GT - Convertible

Can you please tell me the pros and cons of owning a Volvo.

Also I have never driven an Automatic before - I've always had a manual/stick shift, I'm just a bit worried about the change.

Thanks in advance

Sarah :)

The ride will be alot diffrent for you.It feels a little flimsy.But with most convertables it will. Also the turning radias is alot diffrent from what you are used to.

Other than that they are great cars enjoy the open roof.
