The end result is powerful acceleration in most gears, with the 0-60 mph run taking around 7.5 seconds and top speed limited to 150 mph. Not bad when you consider the C70 is a chunky four-seat convertible,

I think he took the WRONG car out to test Drive!!!!

think hes right.... the C70 isnt exactly small, much bigger than a 3 series or A4, its a true 4 seater and its a convertable???? Its certainly no sports car.

I quite like it. If Volvo would like to give me one, for free, I'd have it (being an old git, I'd never be able to buy one... unless the lottery came up).

when we had the "Old Nells" meet a few weeks ago one drove into the car Park & Me & andy got talkin to the driver .. Beautiful car (the driver even lowered the roof to show us how fast it "raised & Lowered"....

Would look stunning in black with red leather!

This was a nice looking car when it was launched in 2006. They destroyed it with that new nose.

Volvophile - one for you. Back in 06, my father went to Koping to test the new 2.5 'T5' C70 thinking he might trade in his when getting it serviced. He said the car drove very nicely (compared to the first C70) no probs with brakes, steering etc. However, the car felt like a definite step down. The first C70 felt special, and this one simply did not - it was just another car and the interior felt cheap. Anyway, there didn't seem to be much interest in the car and Dad thought Volvo might do a deal on the demo car. The price? €81,000. It's not often that my father laughs out loud, but he did that day. 2006, the height of the madness over here...

it weights 3,840 it's a very heavy car and with only 236 lb-ft, I think it would feel a bit slowy
