2004 Volvo C70 2 Dr HPT Turbo Convertible Trim Overview

The peppy 242-horsepower C70 HPT is neither a true sports car nor a luxury car, but is sure looks sharp and is a lot of fun to drive, especially when that turbo boost kicks in. This convertible lived on for another year in its existing design after production of the coupe version was halted after the 2003 model year.
It was made in a 5-speed manual with auto transmission available as an option. The expected Volvo comfort and safety features were present along with the conveniences one should see in a European-built convertible.
The HPT's drivers rave about its sporty acceleration and the attention they always get when driving it, especially with the top down. Most suggest the purchase of the optional rear windscreen to help keep noise to a minimum and also to increase the number of those head-turning top-down days.
There have been many complaints about the car's too-large turning radius. Rear visibility with the top up is also a problem.
