What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Volvo C70

2012 Volvo C70 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Great front seats, very comfortable. Minimal wind buffeting with the top down. Volvo offered an accessory wind blocker with this model but it's not necessary. Interior trim on the arm rests could be softer. My elbow gets sore resting on the hard plastic. I keep a small fleece pad in the car to solve this little issue. see full Volvo C70 review

2009 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4

2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 Really just a 4 place vehicle...3 across in the rear is not comfortably possible. see full Audi A3 review
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4
6-speed automated manual FWD		 Slightly too close to each other in arm room. see full Audi A3 review
