Replying to: volvomax (Aug 03, 2007 10:34 am) yer right. had to search to refresh my memory. Back in April I commented on the reported bump to 227, which you let me know would be the case for all the cars with this engine. Replies to this message: johnnyvolvo07 (Aug 23, 2007 3:09 pm)

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.

Replying to: volvomax (Aug 07, 2007 2:47 pm) Yup Volvo is a PREMIUM brand and the C30 is a PREMIUM small car. If you want a little hatchback for 17,500 go buy a Yaris, Kia/Hyundai etc.

Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 07, 2007 5:12 pm) Actually that's a good point...(about the Rabbit). Tell me, what makes Volvo a PREMIUM brand? My buddy's old 1976 245DL wagon wasn't very premium...I think the distinction between what's premium and what's not is in the marketing.

Replying to: bitterbob (Aug 07, 2007 6:06 pm) Yes lets compare a 30 year old model to a current model car. Go get a Rabbit.

Replying to: british_rover (Apr 06, 2007 5:28 am) How much would you be saving in a car like this that requires premium gas if you used the premium gas suggested instead of using regular. How much less would your MPG be if you just used regular. Cause there aren't many premium branded cars or luxury cars that use regular unless you get a lincolm mkz. Or you get a buick a premium branded car but not what most people think as premium brand. Is spending the extra 30 cents or so worth it?
