1999 Volvo C70 T review from Australia and New Zealand
"Superb Style, Superb Performance, A Blend Of the Best, Good on ya Volvo!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The seats Have worn down around the edges with few cracks visible. Overall that is all that has gone wrong! and that is general wear and tear.
General comments?
This car is a head turner, It blends luxury with a sporty engine and look, the C70 Turbocharged Convertible is comfortable in all weather, Although it has a turning circle of a Jumbo Jet the Handling around turns and in the wet is superb with all the Traction Control and features. A very nice interior with high standards for luxury. The Most Comfortable Convertible I know of, Although like any Convertible there's occasional "creaking" sounds when going over Bad Road Surfaces and Bumpy Roads, We Took it out west of Australia for a long 6 hour cruise and it was a bit bumpy with rattles here and there, though this is normal for convertibles and the excellent Audio System covered the rattles up and the Super Soft seats with seat warmers that hugs you kept us comfortable on the long trip.
