Working at an auto auction, I do not fall in love with vehicles very easily, but alas I found my Volvo C70. It's a very sporty car but very safe as well. I feel comfortable cruising the roads by myself or using it as a family car. It is safe and practical, but the real fun begins when you put the hardtop convertible down. It looks like a transformer when the top folds down into the trunk! The gas mileage isn't what you'd expect from a small car, only 18mpg, but it something you can overlook when you love your car! I am absolutely in love with my Volvo C70.
