Volvo C70 Coupé (97-02) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Volvo's glamarous coupe was discontinued in 2002, after five years in production (although the cabriolet carried on). This model broadened Volvo's appeal, adding a sexy coupe to a range consisting of dutiful saloons and estates. The underpinnings are tried-and-tested; they've come from the old S70 saloon, which has kept reliability. It's a good used buy, but not as glam as it once was.

Equipment

The C70 T5 Coupe, developed from the S70 saloon, has sports suspension, front fog lights and 17" alloy wheels; the GT (originally a pack available with the T5, then a standard package from 2000) adds climate control, cruise control, traction control, ten speaker audio, electric driver's seat with memory, leather upholstery and heated front seats. Revisions to C70 line-up in October 2001 included new alloy wheels and Stability + Traction Control (STC), optional lowered suspension on T5 models, and a Dolby Surround Sound audio system on GT models. Range rationalised to just convertibles in Nov 02.
