INTRODUCTION
Volvo is the first of the premium-brand carmakers to offer a convertible of this size with a metal folding hard-top (the A4, 3-Series, CLK and 9-3 all still come with canvas hoods).
This latest model is an improvement over its soft-topped predecessor in every way: it's more comfortable and refined, it's a much more rewarding drive and it's more modern-looking and stylish.
Although shorter overall than the previous C70, and with a lower roof height and shorter wheelbase, this new model feels as roomy as its main competitors and boot space - although limited by the folding roof mechanism - is also comparable. It's just about a four-seater, though taller adults won't be too keen on spending too long in the back.
The C70 will be available with three petrol engines, all five-cylinder Volvo units. Two are the familiar 2.4-litre, in 140bhp and 170bhp forms (both normally aspirated) and the third is the 2.5-litre turbocharged T5, giving 220bhp, as in the Focus ST.
A 2.5-litre, five-cylinder D5 diesel (180bhp) will be available later in the summer. Six-speed manual transmission is standard, with the option of a five-speed auto 'box with sequential-shift function.
RELIABILITY AND QUALITY.RATING:****
Volvo has always made tough, long-lasting cars and its recent models have a very good record for reliability - they seem to have escaped many of the electronic glitches and gremlins which have afflicted certain other "premium" brands.
The engines and many of the underpinnings of the C70 are also well-proven already in other Volvo/Ford models, so should have been thoroughly debugged.
The only concern is the complex electronically-controlled three-section folding roof, which uses an electric motor and hydraulic pump to raise and lower in around 30 seconds. However, so far, it looks beautifully engineered, with all sections, windows and moving panels sealing together seamlessly to form a credible fixed-roof structure and folding back to give a solid-feeling drop-top with no scuttle shake whatsoever except on the roughest, poorest-surfaced of roads.
IMAGE RATING:****
Smart, in the typically understated Scandinavian way, and likely to be fashionable. Not as flash as a CLK, 3-Series or even, these days, the Audi A4 - but that's an advantage for many more mature buyers and it's an alternative to the obvious choices without being in any way offbeat. It's not quite as eye-catching as the Saab 9-3 Cabriolet, though, and it is a bit conservative and unadventurous for the design-conscious. Classic, rather than cutting-edge.
The design is plain but elegant, with no awkward lumps, bustles or bulges to accommodate the roof structure (stand up, 307CC), and it looks just as good with the roof up as with it down.
DRIVING RATING:***
Built on the same basic underpinnings as the latest S40/V50 and the Ford Focus, this C70 - far more rigid in its structure than its floppy, sloppy, shaky predecessor - has a similar feel to its relatives: it's utterly user-friendly, very easy to drive and with safe, predictable and accurate handling.
The full-sized glass rear windscreen gives an excellent view to the rear, as well as aiding overall structural integrity.
The C70 stops short of being a blast to drive though - perhaps due to the extra weight of its roof structure and the necessary reengineering of its chassis, it isn't as inspiring or exciting as the closely-related Focus (the T5 is nowhere near as sporty as the Focus ST with the same powertrain) and it's all a bit bland with no defining, distinctive characteristics. Even torque-steer, which used to be a strangely appealing feature in the more powerful turbocharged Volvos, has been eliminated from the T5 - no scrabble from the front wheels or tugging at the steering wheel when making a quick standing start.
However, everything works absolutely as it should: from the precise six-speed gearbox to the smooth auto transmission, from the layout of the controls and the driving position, to the careful intervention of the stability control and traction control systems, it's all been very carefully thought out - no nasty surprises or confusing overcomplications. For most buyers, this will be exactly right. Some, however, may find that the C70 is not particularly engaging and will not warm to it.
PERFORMANCE RATING:****
We've only driven the T5 as yet - 220bhp, 236lb-ft of torque, top speed of 150mph and 0-60mph in 7.6 seconds (8 seconds in the auto) - and there's certainly no complaints about its speed potential.
It pulls strongly in every gear, is responsive even when the turbo is off-boost and cruises quietly and smoothly at highway speeds, especially in sixth gear. But even with the roof down, there's no nice noise from the exhaust, no whoosh from the turbos… it's just not terribly exciting.
This is a car to cruise around in, enjoying the sunshine, rather than an out-and-out sporting machine. Unless Volvo plans to make a more focused R-branded version? The fundamentals are all there for such a model to be very good.
SAFETY AND SECURITY RATING:*****
It's a Volvo, which means a high level of safety equipment fitted as standard, as well as integral details such as well-designed seats and headrests to protect against whiplash injuries, sophisticated seatbelt systems and a structure developed to give the optimum protection in real-life impacts, not just in laboratory crash tests. That said, expect a full five-star score for this car in the Euro NCAP tests. Airbag provision includes a full-length side 'curtain' over the windows - an achievement of engineering, in a convertible - and there are rollover sensors and deployable protection.
The hard-top roof offers more protection than a canvas hood can if a rollover is inevitable: it also makes the C70 a lot more thief- and vandal-resistant. The central locking system includes locking functions for the cabin storage areas, to reduce the risks should you wish to leave the car parked with the roof down.
RUNNING COSTS RATING:***
The hard-top roof means lower insurance ratings than for the soft-tops and should ensure this car's desirability on the second-hand market; residual values will be stronger than for the previous C70, although that has always been a sought-after model in the convertible-crazy UK, with good low-mileage examples continuing to be priced high by Volvo dealers.
The petrol engines are all large, though, and none are particularly economical; the 2.4 140bhp returns just 31.7mpg (and emitting 212g/km of carbon dioxide, hence hefty company car tax bills), the 170bhp does 31.4mpg and 215g/km and the T5 31mpg and 217g/km.
Automatic versions of all of these are a little more thirsty and, in real-life driving conditions, the T5 is unlikely to return anywhere near the claimed figure - on the test-drive, it drank fuel at a frightening rate. The diesel promises to be the most cost-effective option.
COMFORT AND EQUIPMENT RATING:****
Smaller than the Mk1 C70, the new version is nonetheless on a par with its main rivals for cabin space - that is, it's roomy up front, with plenty of scope to push the front seats right back to accommodate long legs, but with rear seats somewhat more cramped, especially with the roof up. It's fine for children in the back, but adult passengers had best hope the journey won't take too long, or that the front seat occupants aren't too tall. The rear legroom is further limited by the full-length centre console, which runs from dashboard to rear bulkhead, and means that rear-seat riders can't stretch their legs out sideways. It's a bit of a scramble to get in and out of the back seats, but no worse than in any other comparable model.
The boot space tots up to 400 litres roof-up and 200 litres roof-down, which is pretty average; the boot is long, but shallow, with the roof and the glass rear windscreen folded away, although the folded roof can be electrically raised to give a wider aperture for loading or for accessing the stuff stowed away down there. A fold-through ski hatch gives a bit more practicality and there are loadspace dividers, the usual locking storage areas in the cabin, door pockets and console-bins.
The improved rigidity of this C70's structure gives a much smoother, quieter and rattle-free ride compared to the shaky Mk1 and Volvo has - thankfully - resisted the temptation to make the suspension too stiff and unforgiving, even in the T5. Obviously, there are different wheel/tyre combinations available, but the standard set-up of the T5 absorbs bumps and surface imperfections well, both roof-up and roof-down, coping with all but the worst potholes and broken surfaces without a tremor. It's firm, but won't loosen any teeth.
Top marks, too, to Volvo for its superb front seats, which are soft, supportive, and ergonomically near-perfect for a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
Noise is well suppressed and the driver and front passenger can easily carry on a conversation without shouting - even at motorway speeds with the roof down. The wind deflector averts too much of a gust from behind and the relatively high sides give good insulation from cross-winds. It's all very civilised.
Unusually, though, the roof cannot be raised or lowered unless the C70 is stationary: other manufacturers allow their convertible roofs to operate at slow urban speeds.
A high level of equipment is offered as standard: specification levels for UK buyers are Sport, SE and SE Lux. The Sport gets aluminium interior trim and a six-speaker CD player; SE versions have eight-speaker audio, wood trim and electrically adjustable driver's seat, leather upholstery, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and rain-sensing wipers; and the SE Lux versions have a 910-watt 12-speaker hi-fi with sub-woofers (pretty good), power-folding door mirrors, a ski bag and cargo net.
As you'd expect, the cabin is all very tastefully and minimally furnished in monochrome shades. It's all very inoffensive, but it's a shame that Volvo hasn't worked in, say, some of the quirky details of the YCC concept car, or given some more colourful options for trim and upholstery. It's all well-finished, however, with pleasant-feeling plastics and the neat centre console design, as in the S40, with controls for the audio and ventilation systems integrated into a unit inspired, apparently, by the remote control for a Bang & Olufsen stereo. Form follows function.
