Overview & Reviews
Volvo will offer the C70 Coupe in just one trim level, and the contents of last year's SE model will come with it, including the unique sport grille, 17-inch wheels and tires, power sunroof, leather upholstery, trip computer, auto-dimming rearview mirror and special dash inlays. New standard features for all C70s include Volvo's stability and traction control system (STC), heated front seats and an emergency trunk release. Convertibles also get 17-spoke alloy wheels and ride on Z-rated 205/55R16 Pirelli tires. Genuine wood dash trim replaces the "wood effect" trim in the optional Touring Package for the C70 LPT convertible. Ash Gold is now an exterior color choice, while Turquoise Metallic and Venetian Red Metallic have been discontinued.
- Luxurious interior, plenty of safety and comfort features, smooth ride, turbocharged engines.

Nice desi -shame about the annoying bits - 2002 Volvo C70
By paul lane - May 28 - 10:00 amNot all together happy with it. See below! Great looking car, but badly designed the cup holders are a joke - easy to knock a cup out ofthem and in the drivers way.

On my second - 2002 Volvo C70
By Randy Miller - May 14 - 10:00 amThis is my second C70 Conv. in 3 years. I almost bought a 5-series BMW, however, I still wanted something a little different. They dont make many C70 convertibles; and I still love getting thumbs-up as I drive around or the validating compliments from would be buyers. The performance will not dazzle you, however, the car is just so damn fun to drive. The build quality is exceptional and comfort is beyond comparison when matched-up to its competition.

Solid performance, great looking - 2002 Volvo C70
By Bill from San Diego - September 27 - 6:10 pmLove the car. HP model is very quick, especially over 40 mph. Surprising little body roll, Best looking in its class, especially top down. The rear seats are well-sized and surprisingly good trunk space. Love the car overall.

2002 Volvo C70 - 2002 Volvo C70
By F T Riekhof - October 20 - 1:16 pmThe car has numerous rattles and squeaks. It needed a complete replacement of the radiator and transmission cooler at 42,000 miles. The turning radius is way to wide and one would hardly know it has power steering. Gear indicator on dash is totally inadequate and stupid. The drivers seat has worn unacceptably given the milage. It has poor visibility when backing up. On the bright side: it handles wonderfully on the open road, and it is fun to drive with the top down in town. Overall it is a poor value, and I likely will never buy another Volvo as a result of owning this car.

C70...Thumbs up! - 2002 Volvo C70
By C70...I like! - March 12 - 10:00 amOverall the best car for the money. I thought Volvos were boring until I drove this car. The seats and driving comfort are so nice especially compared to the BMW 3-Series...firm yet soft. I find the controls on the BMW small but the C70 is very straight forward. The only down side to this car is the lack of shifting ability for the automatic compared to others but do yourself a favor leave it 3- gear on some back roads and let the turbo rev like it should! I must mention that the torque-pull is strong if you have a heavy foot...thats ok Ill take the power.

Bought it only for its looks! - 2002 Volvo C70
By PittPanther - February 8 - 10:00 amThis car is pure eye candy and we have had lots of people comment how beautiful and elegant the coupe is. The is more room for tall people than in any other luxury coupe. However, given the still somewhat steep price tag the car offers suprisingly little features and doesnt ride and handle as well as many cheaper cars. The power seats are a mere joke, the stereo in the center console an after-thought and I would advise anyone not to use the cup holders while driving - spillage guaranteed. The T5 engine is so-so at low speeds and only comes alive when revved real hard. Parking the car is a chore in tight spaces. Bottom line: buy it for its looks.
