    I just got a C30 and so far the only real issue I have with it is that I care about the paintwork, unlike my old car.

    I have a 2009 C30 T5. Perfect vehicle for me. I can get 2 mountain bikes inside with the back seats down. So much aftermarket support (similar to Ford Focus RS and Mazdaspeed3) to boost performance. 23 mpg - not that good. Paint faded being parked outside since new. At 98030 miles it's never been back to Volvo for maintenance or any repairs. I have done all the service - very easy. Definitely underrated!

    I have an 09 version (1st model) 2ltr diesel on the auto (R-design)80,000 miles..really good sound system and a lovely driving car..sometimes reverse doesn't engage but left foot on brake and a jab of the throttle seems to get it going..Big Up Volvo for building such a unique car..Love it..✌️

    6' 2 1/2", 18 stone & I fit in the back quite easily. It's a great car mines a 1,6 petrol on 150K & never misses a beat (famous last words) bit heavy on petrol but it's a heavy solid & safe car. Build quality so good. I laughed & I laughed how did you make the boot sound like a cavern, it's pants, but that's the only thing that is. Love it. Oh btw if you could do a C70 2.5L petrol that would be grand.

    Totally agree great smaller car
    Tho bias as was first car I bought myself from new
    Had our c30 ever since rdesign 2.0D 08
    Fits in now with larger fleet as family life has came along with our xc90 mk2 and v70 mk1
    Volvo only released c30 as 2 door due to being owned by ford at time they won’t let them have 4 door version going up against focus
    Also reason why early focus STs used Volvo T5 engine

    The TF80-SC is a good auto transmission, but it does have a tendency to not know which gear its in and seems a little slow to react in comparison to newer vehicles. I guess its showing its age now.

    • @ph8414
      @ph8414 6 місяців тому

      Good gearbox? I seriously don't think so. Solenoid valves were going off on these transmissions and this resulted in damage to the hydro converter with absolutely no warning. It is said that it was changed within the warranty, but if you have a car with a small mileage, then this defect could have appeared long after the warranty and the repair is very expensive (unfortunately, this is my case).

    Nice review, nearly got one after down sizing from my S80.
    Premium tyres? Looked like Accelera which are cheap and nasty, binned these from my misses car as they were dangerous.
    Volvo specs were all over the place, some Lux have elec seat some manual etc...
    Another slight annoyance was the radio not being too upgradeable and playing.
    Do they have DAB?

    @petedenton9434 Рік тому +3

    You talk as if this is not a relative of the S40 and V50 range. Three cars on the same platform. It's the spiritual successor to the 480 in the way that the S40 was the spiritual successor to the 460. The 480 in turn was the spiritual successor to the P1800 ES. Volvo has a long history of making cars in this sector - just with gaps between each model.
    But maybe I'm biased. I love my C30 T5 lol
