    C70 T-5

    Hello,

    Been wondering..just how well do these coupé's handle? Any notble difference from the
    V70 and S70
    I'm talking about the 1st generation.

    Also..how insane can you boost the 2.4 T-5 ?

    thnx

    I work at a place that does Volvo/BMW work. Watch out for the oil light. There is a o-ring that goes between the block, the oil pan, and the oil pickup tube. The o-ring "ledge" is actually halfway machined (aka half of it wasn't finished from the factory) and fails, almost looks like it was done on purpose. That's the only reason that we can see when working on these cars.

      I test drove a C few years back, it handled like a sofa.

            Test drive the new C30 T5 Coupe.

            If they release it in AWD, it'll be amazing. Loads cheaper than any BMW/VW/etc!

              The C30 (hatch right?) options out pretty damn expensive even in FWD trim, doubt it will be cheaper than a VW or Audi A3 hb. I looked at it's pricing just a few months ago, 30-40k easy iirc.

              IMHO of course.
