Volvo C70 2012 The Style And Prestige

Firstly, you must know that this Volvo C70 2012 with or without roof meet strong opponents: BMW 3 Series, Audi A5, Infiniti G and Lexus IS. Admit we’ve seen price competition! Volvo but was caul to appear belligerent towards these cars. Anyway, after two turns of the wheel, you will understand why. We will return.

Last year, in order to present a more up to date and comply with the corporate style of Volvo, the Swedish brand, now Chinese (Geely) has redesigned the front so it is more consistent with those of the XC60 crossover and the S60 sedan. We also took the opportunity to improve the quality of some materials.

What does the future hold?….Volvo C70 2012

When we consider the withdrawal of the S40 sedan and its counterpart family, the V50 of our market, and we know that the coupe / convertible C70 from the same platform as these, it is very fortunate to be more access! Volvo is known, was purchased in 2010 by Geely. At first we did not know where went the Chinese brand with Volvo, but it seems she has a serious desire to invade the U.S. market. However, the number of models sold by Volvo in America could fall to better target products that work well here (S60 sedan, XC60 and XC90 crossover, for example). In this context, we meet again one C70 next year?

The Volvo C70 2012 will be understood, is not very athletic. She pers, by far, the long straight roads and boulevards of Los Angeles or Miami, even if it displays a fine balance in curves taken a little faster. Obviously, suspensions per comfort. The chassis of this coupé / cabriolet is rigid when the roof is in place, but it feels when bending down. This is somewhat surprising, given that Volvo vehicles are generally among the strongest in the industry.

Two personalities … but not bipolar!

As is often the case with coupes / convertibles, the Volvo C70 2012 has two personalities, as the cabin roof cap or is stored in the trunk. In the first case, we do not think driving a convertible car. The hardtop isolates ambient noise, and most importantly, it ensures greater rigidity to the chassis. About 30 seconds after pressing a button that triggers a still impressive hydraulic sweeper and the roof is stored in the trunk.

However, the roof is stored or not, nobody can deny that Volvo C70 2012 produces arguably the best seats in the industry. They are comfortable, hold well in the curves, support all parts of our anatomy as if a laser measured, to our knowledge, our body and asked the chair to be adjusted as a surgical glove. Even after a journey of several hours without stops, I never felt the slightest fatigue break.

Since we at Volvo, the safety level is very high. For example, as it was impossible to insert cushions the head of the people sitting in the front, engineers have planned they would be placed in the doors and they would deploy up. Well thought out!

The Volvo C70 2012 is still among us. More bourgeois sport, this car has not, however, flawless reliability and maintenance costs are generally very high.
