Buying a used convertible - Volvo C70?

I am looking for a four-seater folding-hardtop convertible to replace my ageing Volvo S60. I am tempted to stay with Volvo and get myself a used C70, but there are mixed reviews. Is this a good buy? Or would you recommend something else?

The Ford Focus based C70 was quite impressive. The Eos had a leak problem because the roof is composed of a lot of different pieces which makes it difficult to keep all the seals water-tight. BMW E93 3-Series coupe convertible best.
