Volvo C70 Coupé (97-02) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 1997 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. 3 out of 5 Other Volvo reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Safety Very strong with crumple zones and side impact protection; four stars for S70 (on which it's based) in Euro NCAP crash test; ABS; driver's and side airbags (optional passenger bag).

Stonechips to the bonnet and the occasional brake and steering fault are the only complaints from owners. Will run to very high mileages if properly maintained and not abused or neglected. Car check problem points Body Worn suspension and brakes. Engine/Gearbox Throttle can stick; slow auto change on 2.0. Other T5 can be pushed especially hard. Look for kerbed or damaged alloy wheels and damaged suspension. T5 tends to much tyres. Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
