2000 Volvo C70 Review

Well beyond
Walkaround
The designers of the C70 Convertible did a good job of marrying Volvo's highly respected heritage with a graceful, but sporty look. From the front, the grille retains its trademark diagonal badge, while sleek headlamps remind drivers that this is a muscular piece of mechanical art. The raked windshield and sports-car styling stand out the most when viewed in profile. The hood and rear-end styling carry over from the S70 sedan, providing a strong family resemblance. But the similarities end there: 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's in shape, with a tight waist and strong shoulders.

Whether it's Coupe or Convertible, the Volvo C70 is a beautiful car.

Volvo's designers also got the details right: Headlamp washers are tucked discretely above a slightly protruding bumper that is punctuated by serious-looking air vents.

When the fully automatic soft-top is raised, it slopes gracefully to its slightly tapered rear. Lowered, the top tucks out of the way to preserve uncluttered lines. The Convertible rides on 7x16-inch alloy wheels with 205/55-16 Pirelli P6000 all-season tires. Our C70 came with the optional traction control. Next Page
