New 2009 Volvo C70

When it comes to safety, Volvos are world renowned. When you take that first-class safety and add new-age Volvo styling and a top-notch power top, you get the 2009 Volvo C70.

The Volvo C70 is a two-door coupe that seats four and has a hard top that can stow in the trunk, or extend in just 30 seconds. On the other end of the car, a 2.5-liter, 227-horsepower turbocharged V-6 is mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional five-speed automatic transmission with manual shift functionality. This engine is available in two trims; the base T5 and the premium T5 R-Design, both available in front-wheel drive. Competing against the likes of the Saab 9-3 and Volkswagen Eos, the C70 gets 18 mpg in the city and 26-27 mpg on the highway.

Not only does the C70 look sharp on the outside, but the interior comes with several sophisticated amenities. An available Premium Sound System includes 12 Dynaudio® speakers, a MP3/WMA compatible CD player, amplifier, Dolby® Digital Sound, and auxiliary audio input for your iPod® to create a venerable concert-like sound. An optional Volvo Navigation System with Hard Disc Drive, DVD Map Data and remote control sports an easy-to-read 6.5-inch color screen, and provides detailed maps and directions. A variety of leather upholsteries and available heated front seats wrap occupants in warmth and luxury.

Volvo is synonymous with safety and the C70 is no exception. The C70 has received a Top Safety Pick designation for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety for front, side and rear-impact protection. Standard side-impact and side curtain airbags, active front head restraints, antilock brakes, electronic stability system and traction control will keep you and your loved ones away from harm. Optional safety features include rear park assist, which prevents rollback on inclines and blind-spot alert that notifies you when you attempt to merge into an occupied lane.

If you are looking for a stylish convertible which can transform into a coupe with the push of a button, look no further, the 2009 Volvo C70 is here.
