I am interested in leasing a C30 1.0 but have seen little to no activity anywhere for this car. Does anyone have any info on the current leasing program or any info at all on the C30? I have yet to see one on the road and can't get much recent leasing/prices paid info and I don't want to go into the dealer uninformed. Thanks to anyone who has info.

I have a Ford Focus and I have been looking into getting a C30. I have 3 dogs which are rather large, and I live on a Ranch down a dirt rode. I am hoping this car will be okay with the lifestyle that I live. Could any one tell me more about this car and how to get the best deal? Thank you for all your time!

My husband is considering a Volvo C30. He is about 6' 7" and has about 3 1/2 to 4 inches to the roof. Seems like a pretty nice car. We happen to be on the lot when they unloaded a pretty 2009 red C30 R series. Nice. Also unloaded a hard top convertible someone had actually flew to the factory and test drove. Volvo pays for round trip tickets and 1 night in a hotel. The sales manager said you can pay for additional nights yourself. Wow. They said they average about one a month. Didn't discuss price but they were really nice. Free tires for the duration of your ownership and with the 2009 you get all service maintence free for up to 3 years or 36000 miles, whichever is first. Pretty sweet deal. How to see if he decides on this one or wants to keep looking. We live in Tennessee.

We just got back from doing the European Delivery. It's not a trick.I priced the same C30 (1.0,auto,sunroof,Titanium Gray,cruise,weather pkg, cargo cover, computer,I think that covers it) on Edmunds at $27,835 for the 2008. We paid $25,310 for our '07,and got open jaw tickets (Copenhagen/Stockholm, the wife hates connections) and a night at the Radisson in Goteborg included.
The car is really nice - comfy enough for long trips but small enough for her to consider. Zippy, too.
The people at the Delivery Center were REALLY nice - they even called to check on our B&B the second night in Goteborg,and found us a different place when the first informed us they had lost our reservation. The Volvo FDC provided pickup and taxis as needed.
Scandinavia is a greatplace to tour - most locals speak English and no one ges snobby about the language illiterate Americans.
Roads in Norway can be breathtaking,and are often single lane. If you know how to downshift, the mountains are no problem. And the scenery definitely makes it worthwhile. There was enough culture and history to satiate my teacher wife.
Advice: Credit cards don't work the same as here. You're often asked for a pin. If you plan to go to the Volvo Museum, google map it ahead of time. Get the luggage cover to keep the sun (and prying eyes, though we never felt unsafe anywhere) off your stuff. And don't pick up the car the sameday you fly in. (jetlag) Most metro areas have very good transportation and "cards" that make it easy, even fun, to go carless. Have your dealer check for "in stock" cars - you might get an even better price.
In short, we did it and we loved it.

Enjoy your new Volvo!

I was anticipating the C30 before it came out and have been so surprised not to see them everywhere. I work with a small team that helps Volvo with Southern California community sponsorships and takes a C30 to local events, and it's always the same reaction: "Whoa, that's a Volvo? I've never seen it before but I love it." Then they drive it and they're blown away. As someone who just loves to drive, totally aside from my ties to Volvo, I'm one of the people who can't rave enough about the car.
 
Looks like it's held back by the fact that people don't know it exists. I'm not sure where you're located, but we'll be at the Cars and Coffee car show in Irvine, CA on Sept. 13th (link title) with a C30 R-Design (along with an XC90 R-Design, S80 V8 and C70) so you can see what you think for yourself without going to a dealership (we're not affiliated with a dealership but are extremely knowledgable about the cars. This sweet IPD-built C30 for SEMA will be there too, but just for show.

My husband bought a 2009 Volvo C30 R Design about 2 weeks ago. We watched it pull up on the big hauler truck. Pretty red color. 6 speed manual. Drives like ...well..just fun. I have driven it a few times. It is really nice. The sales manager we worked with told us there would be only about 400 of these made for 2009. He did get 3 years or 36,000 miles of Service Maintanence free and he was the last one to receive the Free Tires for Life as long as he owns the car deal. My husbands last vehicle was 11 years old so if he owns this one that long, he will do good. It has the tires that run about $250 each new right now. He is about 6ft 7 in tall and 265 lbs. He sits pretty good in it. It has a sunroof in it so the headroom is some less but he still has about 2 in. He looks good in it.
