Reviews of the 2006 Volvo C70

CNET Review
The Good: The audio quality of the 2006 Volvo C70's Dynaudio stereo is superb, while the retractable hardtop is something to behold. Design, both exterior and interior, is very nice. The engine works a good compromise between power and fuel economy.
The Bad: The poorly placed pop-up navigation screen gets washed out by glare, and the stereo isn't MP3-friendly. Trunk space with the top down is minimal.
The Bottom Line: Not the most practical car, the 2006 Volvo C70 looks very stylish with the top down or up, and its audio system is among the best we've heard. The navigation system isn't a very worthwhile option, since it usually can't be seen because of glare, and this car is not for the driving enthusiast.
