1999 Volvo C70 Sport Coupe Review

Phil Sayer reviews a 1999 model Swedish Sports Coupe - the Volvo C70. He'll be testing the car on the open road for it's performance and handling, as well as seeing how practical it is. This variant of the C70 has a 2.4 litre engine, which produces 140bhp and gives it a 0-60 time of a respectable 8 seconds.

I got 2000 C70 2.3 240hp manual its still sporty by modern standards and looks beautiful.

Simon Templer drove a prototype in The Saint 1997

I've owned my coupe Volvo C70 since 2001 and after 160k miles and going better than ever, albeit with boat-like handling.

ULEZ compliant in London. Best cheap car with comfort and luxury for £1-£2000.

Nice car, but it should've been Richard Hammond doing the tape... Had to shut it off prior to the ending... Sorry...

Only one available for sale as coupe in Australia at the moment, and I'm buying it. Don't like the convertibles. Good car, I think the design is still appealing, whatever the 2/3rds recon.

215BHP "More than efficient fir tha car". Are you joking? T5 is the way to go! Beautiful car and interior. Not the best car sportswise, but a lovely car all over. I own one, would totally recomend. Just a great car. in every way

[@theboogeyman5736]

[@Salmon260]

Perfict classical music in the video's background.

[@stevethemechanic8099]

[@kingofjamrock]

[@Mothegreatx]

What are the best mods for this car?

[@windowsXD100]

when you are inside, even you are great!!! 2:35

[@carnbyarst670]

Was this car reviewed prior to 2014? According to the registration it hasn't been taxed or MOT'd since 2008...🤔

[@easezgin]

Looks like the video is from about 1998

[@youngstayoung6633]

Volvo's were for sportyness the 850z were running away in the btc

[@amgtim4636]

Beutiful car.

[@reallyhappenings5597]

Did this ever come as an R model, or even as AWD?

[@noahh914]

No.
T5 is the one with the most hp

[@duncanhertog3396]

Yeah it did come as an R model. I own one

[@Dubble86]

It never came as an R. The ones who said it did don't know the car. Because you ad an R badge it's still not an R

[@FirstLast-dy4gt]

Can’t believe you asked that

[@geeteebloke1979]

That's funny I have a 2001 c70 convertible which has a 163bhp 2.0 turbo 5 pot... unless this engine came out later ??

[@racerxc70]

Geeteebloke
Convertibles in the early year had a low pressure turbo, coupes had a high pressure turbo

[@kawasakibenni]

Is it front or rear wheel drive?

[@HELPMEIDUNNOHOWTOUSE]

front

[@NickPerry]

Shades of accidental Partrige here

I read volvo marketed the car for post-family people. After kids leave the house. Compared to Peugeot 406 coupe i d say it has more of a quality image, this being untrue factly, but when selling expensive stuff image counts. Xc90, S60, it has more aristocratnvibes, but conceptwise its a Calibra.
I would like to remind the world Barbara Bush had a Trans Am. People who never ever met a rich person in their lives, shouldn't just..know what they want. No i didn t say Merecedeses drives like Nissan, or did i? Well, 2 Nissan. Bancrupt Enjoy hotel, with the Slavic staff, since you cant normally have staff if you are bancrupt, are owners of c class 17 years old. So here we do know, but..that s not rich people, since it is bancrupt Enjoyhotel all Inclusive nu illegal hotel owner. All in all give Volvo some slack it s very fast, it doesn t fall apart, seats are great and if residual valeur of the Laguna is a falling piano, then this is a Bavaria yacht, in the springtime, owned by Benny Hill, but that doesn t matter. Did you know the drivetrain of an average Mercedes is from Renault, probably a Megane? Which are good ca..BE MORE NORMAL all of you!
