Looking at selling three cars I'm not crazy about for one that I actually want -- a C70, probably a 2000 or later model. I'm torn between convertible vs. coupe, LT vs. HT. Plenty to choose from in the SF Bay Area, though, where the low-end zip of the LT engine might actually be a better way to go.

What I want: (1) a bit more performance and updated styling over our base '97 850; (2) decent gas mileage (in the 20's); and (3) maintenance costs not more than our '99 V80R AWD.

What I'm concerned about: I've read a real mix of reviews of the C70 online, with most of the problems centering around (1) the convertible top and (2) the '98 - '99 model years.

Knowing that people who are dissatisfied tend to talk about it a lot more than people who are satisfied, I honestly don't know what to make of what I've read. Any words of wisdom from current or previous owners on the Brickboard?

Thanks in advance.
