Volvo C70 Coupé Convertible (06 on) - Review Review by Simon Harris on 26 January 2006 Last Updated: 13 April 2010 The Volvo C70 convertible injects a welcome dose of glamour into the Swedish firm’s range. Pitched to go head to head with premium rivals from Audi, BMW and Lexus, the Volvo boasts a complex folding three-piece hardtop in place of a cheaper fabric roof. This helps benfit weatherproofing and security while raising refinement. Inside the C70 lifts its interior from the its siblings which means there is the typical clean, minimal, and not to mention stylish approach to cabin design Volvo excels at. From the end of 2009 the C70’s style quotient was boasted even further with a facelift that saw the firm’s new corporate nose grafted successfully onto the C70. Inside, the materials used to craft the interior benefitted from a welcome boost in quality. The engine range carried over unchanged. 4 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 Also Consider 4 out of 5 Audi A4 Cabriolet (06-09) Elegant style, great engines, incredibly refined Cramped rear seats, not as good to drive as rivals Read full review 3 out of 5 Lexus IS C (09 on) Very well equipped as standard, smooth and refined on the move, quick-action metal folding roof Poor in corners, sluggish automatic gearbox, no diesel engine, lacks the feelgood factor Read full review 3.5 out of 5 Saab 9-3 Convertible (03-11) Neatly styled, good range of engines, turbocharged performance, comfortable Interior lacks quality feel, not as refined as other convertibles, button-heavy dash Read full review Find other convertible cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
