The Volvo C70 is a four-seater coupe/convertible that has brilliant styling, with elegant coupe lines, and the retractable hardtop is an engineering masterpiece.

The C70 only comes in one model, the coupe/convertible. It is powered by a 227 hp turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-five engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The five-speed automatic transmission is optional. Safety features include electronic stability control with traction control and anti-lock brakes with brake force distribution. In addition to the required front airbags, there are side airbags in front, and air curtains which activate upwards from the doors, even with the windows rolled down. The Rollover Protection System, a pop-up rollbar, is activated by a "pyrotechnic charge," which will smash the rollbars through the glass when the roof is on.

For 2008, the Volvo C70 only receives small options changes.

The C70 helped launch a trend toward true hard-top convertibles when it debuted as a 2006 model, and it was an immediate sales success. ... Read Full Review

AT A GLANCE

Notable features are the way the fabric headliner unfurls and is tensioned by wires as the roof moves into place and the L-shaped mesh draft screen that clips over the rear seats when driving with two up front. This wind blocker has zippered openings to allow easy parcel stowage and can be folded in half to fit into the trunk with a full complement of passengers onboard.
