Volvo C30

I'm actually pretty impressed.

Has the profile of the 3 door A3 (which Audi should bring to the US).
227hp turbo 5 cylinder with 236lb of torque, and pretty well equipped at a MSRP of $31,500.

Would make a nice little daily driver.

I've seen it in person and was surprised how big it is. It's also quite ugly, much uglier than the pictures seem.

I think you are the first one that impressed from the C30.I hate from its back design. and interior of its really simple.

I'll be the second, then. I really like the proportions and even think the rear window works with the overall design. The tall taillights are odd, but a trademark on Volvos with hatches (wagons mostly) and they even manage to make the profile a little sportier. It would make a great daily driver.

Actually, all of the reviews I've read so far have been very positive about both the design and the drive.

That T5 engine should be tunable for another 50-70hp as well.

the console is pretty nasty, otherwise its a pretty good looking car IMO.

I just don't like the packaging here in the US....sth "version 1.0" and "version 2.0".....after that there's still a looooong ass list of options for trims and stuff...

Can't they just make things simple like thier dashboard design....Volvo suppose to be user-friendly.....apparently not in this case...
