Motorweek test of 1997 Volvo C70

[@luizpires106]

I remember this car this year, it was my dream, it was really fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

[@brianklamer3328]

Have one that is the last year for the rag top, a 2004 with low pressure turbo. Nautic blue metallic over beige leather with only 47,000 miles at 17 years years of age. Love it !

[@fontheking5]

Volvos best looking car i think :)

[@ivansno.1garage909]

I've owned my coupe Volvo C70 since 2001 and after 160k miles and going better than ever, albeit with boat-like handling. Hands down Motorweek is best car etc. review show out there. No silly corney joking or unnecessary stupid comments. Keep up great work. ☘️

I have the '04 C70 convertible,blue ragtop &silver body paint, quality car!

[@aayonce4]

Great look for '97 !!!

[@andrewschannel4259]

My grandparents have the sedan version of this car: The S70 T5.

[@m3trooper]

Your grandparents are lucky! Those old C70 and S70's are among the best Volvos ever built!

[@andrewschannel4259]

+m3trooper They actually bought it because of me. They wanted the safest car for me to ride in when I was little. It also saved my grandmother's life, because it was involved in a big wreck.

[@daxtech1]

My dream car

[@Microjoey02]

that call was fast for back then!!! Hell the GM F-body only ran low 14's high 13s

[@davidsherrick898]

Still Volvo's best looking car, even better than the convertible

[@Naebothernosey]

Currently searching for one in saffron gold in the UK just now to add to my Volvo collection.

[@Naebothernosey]

Bought my silver C70 2.0T yesterday. After five years, I finally have my hands on one 🙂

[@pinksponks1]

i neeeeeed to get one!

[@wrapcityhqvicmelbourneaust6570]

I remember Volvo showroom I walked in and this convertible was unbelievable I had to have one in my life anyway I end up getting two of them 15 years later and doing it up I love the shape I love it I have a black and cream leather convertible and the silver with grey leather I think there were between 90 to $120,000 brand new I think correct me if I'm wrong

[@alexlevy322]

Picked up a 2002 recently. Blue hard top. Simply amazing !

[@randy25rhoads]

pr0n music FTW

[@whoohaaXL]

I've never seen a manual in the states...If you find one, snatch it up.

[@ManS1ayr]

whoohaaXL I snatched mine up, love it. from what I've heard there could be fewer than 150 manual coupes in the US

[@andrewschannel4259]

135 to be precise

[@georgbeuerlein4494]

I got one. But 2,5T not 2,3T5

[@m3trooper]

Oh! You mean PORN music.

[@cro508]

does anyone know 0-60 in an automatic?

[@FriendlyIntentions]

+cro508 Lauch is a bit slow, but same after that. 0-60 means fuckall anyways lol

[@cro508]

Bit of a feedback. After that comment I owned the C70 HPT for about 18 months, pretty good car til it comes to repairs. It's a nightmare with how much the parts cost. So I went back to 945T :P

[@marcosp8087]

6.9 seconds

[@ianvillanueva8400]

5.7 for high pressure

[@ubiased23]

does anybody owns a 1997 Volvo c70? if so has it been reliable?

[@alexharden6396]

my mum had one a few years ago it didn't really have any problems only problem was the front wheels would make a cranking sound when turned on full lock witch I think she had fixed

[@ubiased23]

@@alexharden6396 what year was it and how many miles? You sound from England.

[@christiangwenner6384]

Our 2.4 T, the soft turbo charged version with 193 hp, ran 560‘000 km with the engine running as smooth as on day one. Best engines Volvo ever build. The seats are also on Mercedes‘ levels and the stereo was the best of any car that time and age. Only thing is soft suspension and some rattling plastic parts. Apart from that, a truly wonderful car.

[@DecoPage666]

'Coup'? Oh, 'murica.

[@volvo145]

This started the downfall of Volvos design.
