Used Volvos Features
Volvo
C70 Coupe and C70 Convertible have sexy enough curves to make you
forget that you are driving a car built by a company best known for crashing
its vehicles into walls. Most people know that Volvo spends a lot of time
and money building safe vehicles. The C70 models are packed full of high-horsepower
engines, beautifully crafted interiors, and a driving experience that we find
very rewarding.
- Style
& Exterior - The sheet metal on the two-door C70 widens over the
wheels and narrows again between the tires, like a Coke bottle when viewed
overhead. The lines tuck in at the base of the windows. The result is a
car that looks like It is in shape, with a tight waist and strong shoulders.
- Interior - Volvo's graceful design can also be seen inside. Sliding into
the generous, well-tailored interior reveals elegant lines and leather upholstery
in light hues. Volvo is designing some great interiors these days. The bucket
seats are well-contoured, comfortable and supportive, with eight-way power
adjustments. There is ample leg, shoulder and hip room in both the front
and rear, though taller drivers may complain of limited headroom.
- Engine Specs & Used Car Test Drive - The cabin's air management is
noteworthy. Even in light snow, we were able to keep the top down with only
the slightest intrusion of moisture. When it began to snow more heavily,
we pulled to the side of the road, set the parking brake and pushed the
button to put the top up.
- Volvo
brakes, too, are built to match the C70's potential for speed: They provide
good pedal feel and did not fade while descending steep grades. At the instrument
cluster, black numerals on handsome light gray gauges are easy to read and
reverse at night to white on black. An optional stereo is a 400-watt, 12-speaker
system with an in-dash three-CD changer.
