The Volvo C70 is like changing the image Volvo has created in people’s minds. The Volvo C70 is so modern and svelte in its looks that people will either question hey is that a Volvo or they would say I can’t believe it is a Volvo.

After all those boxy cars it is time for Volvo to break free now with the Volvo C70.

The Volvo C70 coupe’ is a front wheel drive car and the drive train is from a turbocharged 2.3L engine with dual overhead cams and can deliver up to 236 horsepower. This is coupled with a five speed manual transmission. Volvo expected a lot of customers to opt for the Automatic transmission, side air bags, antilock brakes, power moon roof and 17 inch alloy wheels.

The factory settings were limited to a good suspension, heated seats, leather upholstery and a 14 speaker audio system.  Soon after the Volvo C70 was released it was followed by a convertible in the same model. Volvo has placed a lot of emphasis on safety features which is increasingly becoming the brand motto. When it comes to the Volvo C70 it has to be taken in that it is not a muscular car which is going to make a statement while you drive and show off that you are the most powerful but yes it is a nice looking coupe’/convertible which will keep you happy on the road.
