A few years back, a female friend of mine looking to buy a new coupe car and she asked for my opinion. I suggested her Volvo C70, even that later she bought another car but she was considered Volvo C70 for a great potential option.

Volvo came with latest c70 with concentrating more on young costumers. Volvo c70 front end remember Volvo S60 Concept which has been launched at early 2009. Details on body work shows huge effort by Volvo to stay as competitive as possible. For instance, rear sensors can not be recognize easily which it gives better look to rear of car.

I personally love using wood in interior design but C70 still can looks good and quality worth without using any wood. Leathers seems to be refined and nice to look.

Electric roof seems payed attention to interesting points when it has been designed:
  • The car has to be at a standstill when the roof is raised or lowered
  • The car only needs 2 metres of free vertical space when the roof is raised or lowered
  • There is no need for extra space behind the car while the roof is being raised or lowered
  • The roof takes about 30 seconds to open/shut (irrespective of climate)
  • An electric motor, hydraulic pump and computer are used to open and shut the roof
  • The boot lid has two opening modes: for handling of the roof or to provide access to the luggage compartment
  • The roof is divided into three sections
  • The roof panels are made of steel
  • The seams between the sections are sealed with rubber
  • The side windows slide up against the roof rail after roof closes.
  • The boot lid is made of aluminium and steel
  • The body's torsional rigidity improves by about 15 percent when the roof is raised
And range of engines shows this car has not been targeted to be most sportive car in this class but it can be one of safest cars with full range of safety features.
