A car company not always associated as a performance brand in the United States is Volvo. Volvo is typically known for it's comfortable interiors and incredibly sage vehicles. However one car that always slipped away from my attention was the Volvo C30 which was equipped with the same 5 cylinder motor as the Ford Focus RS in Europe shared! The C30 wasn't as quick as the Focus RS, but in theory this was the closest vehicle in America to the European brother. They shared the same platform, suspension setup, and much more. Also unfortunately known as the "car from twilight" the car didn't have the best reputation since it was driven by a sparkling vampire. So after all these years did we completely miss this Focus RS in disguise? Let's drive it and find out! Thanks for watching and new uploads every Tuesday,Thursday, and Saturday!

[@zingbat4]

Volvo's T5 engines make GREAT tuning platforms. They can take a ton of boost, make a glorious noise, and make a lot of power doing it.

[@bigtimber]

Isn't this car fwd? So not an RS at all.

[@urgeandfuria4chau]

Volvos are like the hidden gem of the car community. I have owned 13 Volvos over the years an its addictive. Here in Europe we also got a Diesel version of this engine. Makes 210hp and 460nm with a tune and gets 50-60 mpg in the Volvo V70.

It may sound like a focus RS but that's where the similarities end, I don't no what you guys have over the pond but the c30 in no RS, maybe more like the focus ST but no way shape or form like the RS.

The C30 is a unicorn

[@BoonTheGoon.]

I love seeing cars that I’ve never seen before like this. Thanks for sharing David

[@lexus_offroad_adventures]

I’ve had two of these. They are so fun, fast and unique. You have to review one with the M66 manual trans. Preferably one with an upgraded transmission torque mount that makes for smoother shifts.

[@IliescuBenyamin]

Oh, the mighty 5 cylinder ! The best sound by far (when you're talking less than 8 cylinders), for the least amount of fuel and the smallest taxes here in europe (where you pay taxes according to your displacement). The 5 cylinder is like the hero we got but we didn't appreciate. There is no engine smaller than 3.0 liter tahat makes me say ""Dayum!"" every time i hear a nice exhaust on one, i wish i could afford one.

[@brandonvera916]

Volvos are slept on. Thankfully because I own an s60 and I love hearing people say "that's a volvo?!?!" When I drive by, it's one of the best things in the world:,)

[@AJL15N]

I've owned my 09 C30 since new and I still love this car 11 years on.

[@TheVolvoDude]

YES! Finally some more Volvo content! love it! If I was closer I'd love to have you review my S60R.
