With Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 all-season tires sized 235/45, the Volvo C70 grips well enough, and though the steering lacks road feel the C70 is easy to place in corners. Get in too hot and understeer is the predictable result. Lots of bump steer and column shake accompanies rough-patched corners, and the suspension displays plenty of body roll, squat, and dive when hustling the car. Braking feel could be better because it doesn't feel like much is happening for the first half-inch of pedal travel, and then the binders bite effectively – the brakes work fine, but the pedal is hard to modulate. Ride quality is good but compliance over rough pavement could be better to help keep hard bumps from getting transferred to the cabin. Finally, and this is surprising for a European car, the turning circle is too wide. Overall, the Volvo C70 is a fine cruiser, but isn't an enthusiast's choice.
