What the specs mean
It is powered by the 2.3L 5-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated at 11.8 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 35 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $20.65 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
Being a small car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 227 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
A good match for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Rent it for a week first
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the C70 tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
