The Volvo C70 was possibly the first Volvo since the P1800 of the sixties that didn't look as if it was designed with rulers and setsquares. It's elegant fusion of compound curves and taut sheet metal was an instant hit, and further enhanced the credibility Volvo was gaining through touring car racing. The brand had metamorphosed from something only driven by schoolteachers and harmless eccentrics into something genuinely desirable.

About the Volvo C70

A Volvo C70 will appeal if you are the sort of driver who appreciates a good-looking car, buys into the Volvo philosophy of safety, security and sensibility and has probably put the days of tyre-smoking sideways antics behind you. If you need an urbane, indestructible and slightly quirky coupe, the C70 fits the bill. The convertible models are equally impressive and will appeal to those who might otherwise have considered a soft-top Mercedes CLK, Audi Cabriolet or Saab 9-3 Convertible. The 2.4T cars are the most impressive, combining a fair amount of power with a sweet, tractable and reasonably fuel-efficient engine. Don't think the T5 models will keep up with BMW M3s or Audi S4s on twisty roads, but instead buy one if you want to over big distances quickly. In short, one of the better boulevard cruisers.
