First Drive: 2008 Volvo C30 - Although the C30 arrives in the U.S. next summer, it has already gone on sale in Europe so we headed for the U.K. and sampled one on the wrong side of the road. (more)
Full Test: 2008 Volvo C30 - A nicely appointed, strong-performing 2+2 with an upscale flare and a light disposition. (more)

Replying to: KarenS (Aug 02, 2007 9:22 am) according to info here, it should come with 236hp, right vmax? I think its kind of funny that a 6.6 sec $23k hatchback is being chastised by the press these days as "slow." And one MAJOR oversight on the part of Edmunds: in the current car market and the fact that this detail has moved up on the list of priorities for so many buyers, you would think they would report the GAS MILEAGE.

Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 03, 2007 7:12 am) I picked up my C30 today. My drive home from the dealer was a little over 50 miles and I loved every second of it. I live in Germany and bought the American Specs version. I've been told that mine was the first American Specs model delivered in Europe. The car easily cruised at 100mph without even breaking 3100rpm. I picked V2 with the T5. I can't wait to break the 1500 mile point so I can open her up and see what she'll really do.

| you know what I'd like to see? A C30 with small (15 or 16 inch) wheels, maybe even steel wheels, a non-turbo engine that produces really good mileage, and less features. For a lot less money. I'm not poor, but I am cheap. You can even call me a nerd if you like. I'd rather pay $17,500 for the C30 and get less of a tricked out hotrod. Who wants to spend 25 large on such a small car and not even get a sunroof? I'm smack in the middle of this car's demographic, but I think it's ridiculous. Disappointing. | |
