TO THE POINT What's New? Volvo redesigns its C70 image car, basing it on the S40/V50 entry-level models rather than the mid-grade S60 and giving it a power retractable hardtop in place of separate coupe and convertible versions.
Selling Points: Weatherproof hardtop and sunny day convertible top; comfortable seats; kick-ass Dynaudio sound system; huge trunk with the top raised
Deal Breakers: Small, inaccessible trunk with top lowered; with tall people in front there's virtually no room in back; average powertrain and handling; fussy center panel ergonomics

2006 Volvo C70

With the driver's seat set for my comfort and 33-inch inseam, there is no leg room in back. Three scant inches exist between the rear seat cushion and the front seatback, tops, making it good only for kids. With a shorter driver, the Volvo C70 is capable of carrying four people. If adults are sitting in back, the rear seat offers the same terrific comfort as those in front, but shoulder and hip room aren't as generous. The front seatbacks are softly padded, and foot room is good. Head room not an issue, either, especially with top down.
