TO THE POINT What's New? Volvo redesigns its C70 image car, basing it on the S40/V50 entry-level models rather than the mid-grade S60 and giving it a power retractable hardtop in place of separate coupe and convertible versions.
Selling Points: Weatherproof hardtop and sunny day convertible top; comfortable seats; kick-ass Dynaudio sound system; huge trunk with the top raised
Deal Breakers: Small, inaccessible trunk with top lowered; with tall people in front there's virtually no room in back; average powertrain and handling; fussy center panel ergonomics

2006 Volvo C70

The Volvo C70 is not fun to drive, but it is enjoyable to drive. For the trip I took up the coast on California Route 1, it was perfect. Soft, comfortable, quick enough, and equipped with a great stereo. But it's not a car I would choose for driving fun.
