Volvo C70 T5 SE Lux (2006) CAR review

By Angus Fitton

First Drives

24 July 2006 04:24

Verdict

The C70 is refined and handsome. With warm but not blistering performance and so-so handling, it's no sports car. Neither as brutal as a grade one or funky and spikey, the C70 is as conservative as a short back and sides. And to many, that will hit the spot nicely.
