HISTORY历史
Although spy shots of the C70 were circulating way back in 1994, the C70 coupe was officially launched in the UK in June 1997.虽然拍摄的间谍被C70的行销,早在1994年,C70的采伐的正式推出,在英国1997年6月. This proved popular and it was surprising that it took another couple of years for its soft top sibling to materialise.这证明,令人惊讶的是,流行花一两年的软顶兄弟才能完成. Volvo perhaps missed the boat a little in this respect, as the initial hue and cry had died down and pre-launch buzz for the E46 BMW 3 Series Convertible managed to depress the market for C70 Convertibles still further.沃尔沃也许错过一点在这方面,作为初步吵死了下来,发射前流行的e46宝马三号系列兑换设法压低convertiblesC70的市场更加. Volvo were patient enough to play the long game with the C70 Convertible and alongside the 240bhp T5 version and 193bhp 2.4T models, Volvo subsequently slotted in a budget 2.0-litre 163bhp entry-level convertible model in December 1999.沃尔沃被忍够久玩游戏的可兑换,随着C70的T5时240bhp和193bhp版2.4t型号沃尔沃后来缝了预算2.0公升163bhp入门级示范兑换1999年12月. GT versions arrived in 2000 and a plush Collection limited edition was launched in May 2004 with exclusive alloy wheels and a leather trimmed interior.燃气轮机版本抵达长毛绒收集了2000年至2004年5月推出限量独家提供合金车轮和皮革裁剪内政部.

WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The Convertibles are very agreeable transport.convertibles很赞同的交通工具. For a start, like its Coupe stablemate, the styling looks great, with uncluttered lines thanks to a hood that slips neatly beneath a metal tonneau cover.作为一个开始,就像其采伐stablemate,造型好看,感谢与白描线下方整齐的方巾,单金属tonneau封面. British Designer Peter Horbury jokes that it's the best looking topless Swede since Sixties movie star Anita Ekberg: most will agree.英国设计师彼得horbury戏称它的最好找裸露上身瑞典人自六十年影星阿妮塔Ekberg夫人:最会同意. Volvo claims that the electrically folding roof is one of the most technologically advanced available.沃尔沃宣称折叠电动屋顶是世界上最先进的科技刊物. It's operated via a single dashboard button: no hooks, no attachments, no broken fingernails or grazed knuckles.它通过一个单一的仪表操作按钮:无钩、无执着、无破碎指甲或放牧转向节. Just a silent transformation that occupies just thirty seconds.只是沉默,占地仅30秒钟变换. With the hood up, the only problem is a lack of visibility through the rather small rear window.随着罩起来,唯一的问题是缺乏知名度,通过后窗户较小.
Better to fold it down at every opportunity, a process which conceals the soft-top and its glass electrically heated rear window out of sight behind the rear seat.为了更好地利用一切机会褶皱下来,隐藏的进程软顶和玻璃电热屋后窗户脱离背后后座. The roof is available in four different colours to match the chosen body colour and an optional wind deflector (well worth specifying) can also be fitted behind the front seats.屋顶为四个不同颜色可供选择,以配合身体颜色和择风偏转(值得说明)还可装前排座位后面. The wind deflector isn?t the cleverest looking thing, but it?s undoubtedly effective.肖国风偏转?巧笔找东西,但?收盘无疑有效. There's also an 'intelligent' climate control system and a sophisticated 10-speaker stereo to keep you cool when it's hot and hot when it's cool.还有还有一个'智能'控制系统和一套精密气候10-议长立体声保持冷静,当你又烫炎热时的清凉. All models now come with leather upholstery, cruise control and interior wood inserts.所有型号现在与皮革座垫、巡航控制和内部木材刀片.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出

A later 52-plated example with the Ceres alloy wheels is worth £16,000.稍后52-镀与谷神来说是值得合金车轮16000英镑. Auto boxes are always desirable on the C70 Convertible and these add around £600 to the price.自动盒都是不可取的C70的可兑换,这增添600英镑左右的代价.

Thepick of the bunch is probably the compromise model, the 2.4T, but it?s also the rarest.thepick一串大概就是妥协的模式,2.4t,但它?收盘也罕有. Expect to pick up an early automatic for £10,200 on a 99T plate with the desirable GT versions starting at just under £13,000 on a 2000X plate.期待早日自动回升为10200英镑,按99t板块与理想燃气轮机版本在刚刚下起了13,000英镑2000x板块.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Whilst the C70 shares its mechanicals with that old workhorse of the nineties Volvo range, the 850, it?s unlikely that you?ll need to check them for towing stress or load bay damage caused by antique Ottoman chests.虽然C70的股份,其机电与旧员工的沃尔沃射程90,850,?收盘不可能吧?当地需求为牵引,以检查他们强调湾负荷造成损害或古董奥斯曼胸前. The C70 will have led a far more pampered life, although the front tyres and shock absorbers on all models, but especially the T5, are worth inspecting.<C70的会导致生命更娇、尽管前面轮胎和避震所有型号,特别是T5时,都值得考察. Also check that the hoods are in good operating condition as they employ a large number of electric motors which are easily damaged by anybody attempting to lower the hood manually.还检查了头套处于良好运行状态,因为他们聘请了一大批电机容易损坏是有人企图降低人工方巾. Sounds idiotic but it happens, especially if the car has been used by a number of drivers.但听起来蠢事发生,尤其是如果车已用了一些司机. The basic mechanicals of the car are sound, but try to get one with a decent main dealer service record.基本的汽车机电稳健,而是要设法找到有像样的主要交易服务记录. The only other prime area of concern regards residuals, affected by news of the replacement model.唯一其它主要关切领域问候残值,受消息替换模式.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(approx based on a 1999 2.3 T5 Convertible) Spares for the C70 are on the whole fairly reasonably priced.(1999年3月2日T5时基于大约兑换)C70的备件为整个月都颇为相宜. A clutch assembly is £150, whilst a new exhaust system is around £260.大会是一个离合器150镑,虽然是一个新的排气系统260英镑左右.

ON THE ROAD 在路上
This car actually benefits from considerable British influence - and not only from the design team.这实际上得益于轿车相当影响力的英国,而不是仅仅从设计团队. The original project was master-minded by Tom Walkinshaw Racing and if they?d had similar success with his Arrows F1 team, they may now have been challenging for a podium position.原计划是师父头脑的赛车,如果汤姆walkinshaw?丁已成功与其类似F1的箭队现在他们可能已经有挑战性的讲台位置. TWR, you may remember, were also the team that took the boxy Volvo 850 and turned it into a race-winning force in the British Touring Car Championship.塔台管制,你还记得,该小组还表示代为沃尔沃850盒变成了竞赛优胜队在英国巡回车锦标赛.
The Kidlington-based operation specialises in chassis engineering; drive the C70 and it shows.<kidlington作业专注底盘工程;C70的驱动和显示. The enthusiastic driver will find plenty to entertain, without any of the temperament that's exciting on your favourite twisty country lane but irritating just about everywhere else.司机更充裕的热心招待,没有任何的气质,刺激你喜爱的国家里,而是曲折刺激性只是天下. Turn-in is crisp; only the ride quality could be slightly better.投票是在脆;只可乘坐品质要好.
To be fair, since the C70 Coupe is more a Grand Tourer than a sportscar, it would be unreasonable to expect anything different from its soft-top stablemate.平心而论,自C70的采伐更为盛大tourer比跑车、这是不合理的预期有所不同,其软顶stablemate. Lazy steering and a manual gearbox that doesn't like to be hurried discourage really over-enthusiastic use - though there's very little body-shake over uneven surfaces.懒惰和督导手册变速箱不喜欢被赶来劝阻真过份热心使用,虽然有极少体表面平整动摇. No, this car is at its best in cruising mode.不,这汽车上最好巡航模式. The 2.4-litre model with automatic transmission would probably be an ideal choice.2.4公升自动传输模式大概是一个理想的选择.
OVERALL 总体
A Volvo C70 convertible is a good choice for those who might otherwise look at soft-top Mercedes CLK, Audi Cabriolet or Saab 9-3 Convertible.沃尔沃C70的可兑换,是一个好的选择,看看那些有可能软顶奔驰赤角绅宝奥迪cabriolet或九月三日兑换. The 2.4T cars are the most impressive, combining a fair amount of power with a sweet, tractable and reasonably fuel-efficient engine.2.4t车是最令人印象深刻的结合力相当有甜、多晶片、合理节油发动机. Don?t think the T5 models will keep up with BMW M3s or Audi S4s on twisty roads, but instead buy one if you want to over big distances quickly.鲍思?笔会认为型号T5时追上宝马或奥迪m3s陈冰对曲折的道路,而如果你想要买一对大的距离很快. As long as you can live with the image of the C70 Convertible as a car driven by ladies of a certain age, there?s no reason why you shouldn?t find one an enjoyable and reliable choice.只要你能忍受的C70的兑换形象作为某女士驾驶汽车的年龄,?收盘没有理由你不应当?笔找到一个愉快而可靠的选择.
