Volvo C70 Coupé Cabriolet Sydney

Customers can select from the following petrol engines: a 168bhp 2.4 and a 227bhp 2.5. The 2.5 is much quicker, and its is very excellent in fuel economy. The smart money is spent on one of the the frugal and smooth diesels, though. There's a 2.0-litre and the older D5. The 2.0-litre is cheaper to buy and more frugal, while the D5 offers better performance.
Ride & handling
It is recommended that picking a C70 with smaller wheels and tyres. The 18-inch items on the top-spec SE Lux trim create a jiggly ride, while the more powerful engines struggle to put their power down without wheelspin and steering wheel tug.
Refinement The C70 is a refined cruiser and, with the metal folding roof up, it feels like a proper coupe. Press a button for 30 seconds to lower the roof, and it's quiet and bluster-free, whether you're in the front or the rear.
