1998 Volvo C70 T5 GT from UK and Ireland - Comments

Nothing has gone wrong.

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!!

I realy Think That the c70 is great car, but for someone over 6 feet. The headroom seems quiet the unfriendly type.

The C70 seats do go up and down, I'm 6'3" and it's fine for me.

I'am 6 foot 9 and it's fine for me!!

6'4'' and no problems, but then mine doesn't have a sunroof.

i currently have the engine light on the dash comes on and stays on whilst driving, this has never happened before and worried whether it is a major electronic fault in the engine. it is a bit of a worry at 47,000!

Check the oil level immediately if you have check engine light on, you never know. Although it is mostly nothing to worry about, usually just an oxygen sensor that you can buy and replace yourself for under $100 and then get it back in fuel savings because of better fuel economy.

Is the C70 not rear wheel drive?

This is the 3rd 1 I've had and about the 10th volvo, what a car at 6'3" 18 stone the cockpit has plenty of room with a good level of clear and understandable controls, excellent seating position, good visibility the engine is very strong and pulls like a train right through the rev range.

Volvo cars are like marmite you love them or hate them fortunately for me I love them both.

A well rounded car if a little thirsty at times happily mixes it with the jumped up pr**** in there gti's and that comes from a 29yo.

SUPERB What more can I say.

I have two things that if I can ask first is this an easy car to tune,and the next is can you fit a diesel d5 in this car. thanks for any info that you can give.

Amazing car T5 GT Auto utterly amazing, buy one you cannot go wrong.

You can easily tune it to about 300+ hp, if it is T5.

D5 is not suitable for that car. Newer models (2006 and later) comes with D5 engine new.

I absolutely love this car!!! It's got great looks, comfort... all around excellent car. Haven't had any major problems with it - my brakes are due, possibly change the timing belt... oh and yes the O2 sensors... Love it.
