Er, they don't handle very well! Nice, well made, but feel pretty dated.

I think CAR magazine is running a test on them in this month's issue

Thumbs up

Comfortable, very quick and muscular (240bhp / 250ft-lb from 2000 to 5000rpm), built for cruising rather than cornering but they handle OK, steering a little light and vague with "safe" understeer.

Nice cabin, in a Scandenwegian way.

Based on the Old 850/S70 chassis, everything that is said about them carry forward to the C70, including the appetite for tyres and terrible ride/handling. On the plus side they look good, and have plenty of room inside for a coupe, but watch out for depreciation, as they haven't been the biggest sellers by any stretch of the imagination, though rarity might help keep prices up, but this is doubtful. I think there were also quality control issues on the first ones built, though that may only apply to the cabrios and not the coupes.

The ride and handling is not terrible !

Its compromised by 250 bhp thru the front wheels, if you have a brain in your head and bear it in mind its a fantastic cruiser, you cannot compare it to a scoob in any way

Cheap fast and classy.
