This car made this 40+ old man feel like a teenager. It has all the fun of a 'kids-car' without being a 'kids car'.

I love love love this car. I do not understand why there are not more of these on the road. I've only seen three. It's fast and so much fun to drive. Cute. Stylish. Comfortable. Affordable. I've done Japanese. I've done American. I wanted to do European this time and I did good by choosing this one.

Under Rated Volvo C30

We really love the new 2011 C30 R Design we purchased two month ago, so much so we ordered a second one. It handles even better than advertised, very tigthly built and EXTREMELY fun to drive. Due it's unique design and Volvo doing a poor job of advertising the C30, it's seldom seen on the road, which makes folks stop and look. It's not just another Japanese hatchback/econo box. Most important to us was it's best in class safety rating. We did our homework before we bought the C30 and it exceeded our expectations in all areas
Great Two Door with style hardening back to 60’s

We owned a c30 for 8 years and it was a great car. It has a nice heavy feel, but has quick response when driving. The back hatch makes for convenient loading and with the seats down, it hold a ton of stuff. We had no major problems, just the normal stuff. We sold it because we wanted a car with better gas mileage that didn’t require premium gas. Only drawback, but 8 years with a car is pretty good.

WIND NOISE - drive it and pay carefull attention and make your own informed decision. The C30 has major wind noise issues. This gas milage is aslo poor - 21 in combined city/highway driving. After 3 months and 1300 miles, had to take the car into the dealer - hissing noise under hood. Leaking either coolant or refrigerant. Only good thing so far is it comes with 5 year 60-month bumper-to-bumper warranty and it looks COOL. If only my wife had chosen a another car or I had waited for the LEXUS CT-200! So buyer beware.
