Porsche Boxster vs. Volvo C70 Review

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, the Boxster is a genuine sports car.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Boxster and the Volvo C70 most definitely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Porsche Boxster has a larger engine than the Volvo C70. Keep in mind that smaller engines typically get better gas mileage, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the C70 isn't much more powerful than the Porsche Boxster.

Utility
Drivers with frequent kid-duty might favor the Volvo C70 over the Porsche Boxster.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Porsche Boxster offers a bit more head room than the Volvo C70, there really isn't much of a difference.

Dimensions
The Volvo C70 is tremendously more bulky than the Porsche. The C70's tank is almost the same size as the Porsche Boxster's, though the Porsche Boxster's is a bit bigger. The Porsche Boxster and the Volvo compete for the same parking spaces. The Boxster's shorter wheelbase will give a nimbler feel in daily traffic. On the other hand, the Volvo is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Volvo C70 to the dealership as the Porsche Boxster. When it comes to MSRP, the C70 costs significantly less than the Boxster.

Warranty
The Volvo C70 and the Porsche have the same basic after-sale protection.
