1998 Volvo C70 GT review from UK and Ireland
"Smooth, suave and sophisticated!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet - but I've only had it for 1000 miles!
General comments?
Awesome car! Superb styling, wonderful interior (including high quality soft leather) and outstanding refinement from the punchy engine. Also with the Dolby Pro-Logic option, it has got to have the best standard fit sound system on any car. Car is very practical with enough space for 4 adults and a large boot. Benz-like build quality. Rides smoothly and handles reasonably, although not as obviously adept in this regard like a good smaller car (eg. my previous Alfa 156). Transmission is very smooth and clutch is quite light for a car with such a big engine. If you can get one at a sensible price, this car is highly recommended - it's the best car I've ever owned!
