Thanks very much. Disappointing news about the convertible tops, but not too surprising.

Does there seem to be any correlation between environmental conditions and the electronic roofs? Being in the San Francisco bay area, the car would see temperate weather year round, few (if any) hard freezes, not much dust, no snow, and the inside of my garage most of the time. Would this likely help, or not matter?

Also, AM, what sort of meticulous maintenance should one expect to do? Are there particular areas that need to stay lubed/clean/dry/etc.? Or would one just always have the service tech give it a once-over at each service interval?

Whatever exact C70, I end up getting, it will most likely be my tooling-around-town car, as our V70R AWD is our main road machine. Plus, my wife isn't a huge fan of convertible driving anyway, so the thing may very well stay retracted most of the time.

...and for that reason I may end up just getting a C70 Coupe with a nice moonroof anyway.

Thanks for all comments thus far.
