Volvo C70 / C30

Where it stands out against its peers

• Unknown or other: more complaints than 97% of 2012 cars — 39% of its 33 complaints, where an ordinary 2012 car has 11%.
• Structure: more complaints than 97% of 2012 cars — 24% of its 33 complaints, where an ordinary 2012 car has 6%.

Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.

Recalls

Filed by the manufacturer with a regulator. A recall is repaired free of charge, whoever owns the car now.

80% of 2012 cars have more recall campaigns than this one, and an ordinary one has 3. More of them means more to check the service record for, not a worse car.
