Just had a read a small article and it looks like Volvo are dropping the C30 from the line up, its probably the only other volvo that i would consider buying...... prepare for the price to drop :) http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=27839 I saw the polestar a few years ago at bruntingthorpe and it was mental...

Yes fella if you look at the dimensions of the new V40 and the C30, there's not much in it now. P1800.....480......C30......V40! What's next??

I've never like the C30, it's too small and looks like a block of chocolate.

[QUOTE=JamesT5;613676]I've never like the C30, it's too small and looks like a block of chocolate.[/QUOTE] agree with that much rather have a P1800 or a 480 out of the 4 I listed

I've never driven one (a C30) but if they still have the Focus chassis they should be good handling, some good engines too. Just doesn't look as good as 480 IMHO. 388 hp in a small FWD car is alot - is it driveable?? It would be like a R5 turbo with the torque steer I guess, like letting go of a balloon only a vague idea where it will go next. Then again it isn't really a small car, just a Focus with a different body with things out of proportion so it looks little. Like the new 'Minis'... ...and that vampires thing ruined it also. OK I admit I know it's called Twilight. But I don't know the names of the films!! It's good to discuss these things so I know I am in touch with my feminine side - vampire love stories, boxes of chocolates, cars with round edges....OK I'm off to work after a nice bubble bath

the Spanish perspective on C30's: http://petrolblog.com/2011/06/bangerwatch-volvo-480/ "...the C30 seems to me like cabbage patch kidsĀ“ car" Did the cabbage patch kids have cars? Must have missed that episode
