C70 vs S70 C70

I had a V70 T5 for 6 years before getting my '03 C70 T5 convertible. The convertible suffers from severe scuttle shake but apart from that it drives pretty much like the V70. I suspect it's marginally quicker off the line but that's probably due to the different auto gearbox and drive by wire throttle. It's certainly smoother to drive and kick down is much better since you aren't relying on a throttle cable that can get sticky. But yes, the turning circle is terrible, but I think that is probably due to the larger, 17" wheels. For sure it is harder to get into the rear seats, but I think there is actually more room for two in the back than in the V70. And the Dolby sound sytem is awesome!
