Volvo C70
Volvo’s convertible is proving to be some tough competition for the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and other big names in the category. It features the same engine as the little C30, a 2.5L 5-cylinder that produces 227 hp and slightly less torque at 174 lbs.-ft. This attractive Swede is not available with manual transmission as its only gearbox is a 5-speed automatic.
