1998 Volvo C70 T5 GT review from UK and Ireland
"A front wheel drive Ferrari!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong.
General comments?
The C70 is unbelievably fast once the slight turbo lag has been overcome. Once it gets to 3000RPM -BOOOM!!! The mid range pace and acceleration are superb - and it does do at least 147 mph!!
The only bad thing is that the steering is too heavy for parking - try Irish roads!! And also the turning circle is a pain.
Otherwise - the styling, the interior, the ENGINE, and everything else rock!
Its navy metallic with beige leather - and you know the wheels!!
