What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 Volvo C70
| 2013 Volvo C70 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 2dr Convertible 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Either young children for longer drives or most adults for trips below 30-40 miles each way. Just a "small car" (though with more rear-room that Lexus 250-350 4-door series!). see full BMW 1-Series review |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Impractical for adults for anything but short runs see full BMW 1-Series review |
