2003 Volvo C70 Review Summaries

What reviewers liked most about the Volvo C70:

If you are shopping for an attractive convertible with a serene ride and a full menu of safety and luxury features, the C70 is worthy of consideration.

-- Edmunds.com

The interior is a delightful mix of nicely orchestrated hues, and there's plenty of room for four.

What reviewers liked least about the Volvo C70:

The C70's weak point is its lack of structural rigidity, which shows up as cowl shake, steering-column jiggle, and somewhat uncoordinated handling at the limit.

-- Car and Driver

Mostly user-friendly, but the steering wheel can obscure some switches. Even with standard leather upholstery, there's too much low-grade plastic for cabin materials to feel special.

Volvo C70 Comparisons:

Enough power for most any need, though both engines suffer frustrating turbo throttle lag. The 2.3 model is quicker, but the 2.4 has more-progressive power delivery.
