I love my 2009 C30, and I also love watching videos of other people talk about their C30s! Thanks for sharing. TH-cam has been a great place to learn so much about the car. I will agree with you that the clutch is just plain weird!
I have a Volvo C30 RDesign also she's my baby the best car I have ever own. She's a 2008 plate and she's still going strong, she still looks like brand new, even when I take her in to be serviced & Motd they praise her and that's at the dealers. I don't have any complaint about her boot space she's never let me down about what I've needed to carry, I also love that the doors are also wide opening as well. These cars are well made, well thought about for the purpose of the driver, changing the headlamp bulbs is easy I do it myself all the time when it needs to be done. I love them and my vroom. Shame this model is discontinued, I can't understand why they did that.
I’m so glad, I love mine as well! I am sad they’re discontinued as well but i’m happy to have had the chance to own one and I plan on keeping it a while. Who knows maybe it will become a collector car one day :)
@@AmrinDosanjh Indeed. I have no intentions on changing mine either it's a case of keeping the car well in good condition because these cars are really reliable, look after the car and it will look after you. Plus another thing lol, I also love that I can still play my CDs in my car newer cars don't have that. Stay safe & well, and welcome to the Volvo club 😉👍🏾
Hey Man, great video! I bought a Volvo C30 2012 (T4 2Liter) a few months ago. I live in Costa Rica and I am having a great time with my car. It only has 73 000 km(45 000 miles)It is almost brand new, I bought it from the original owner who really took very good care of the car.
This car looks amazing for 150k+ miles on it. You can tell you and whoever owned it before you took care of it. I find that to be kind of the standard with Volvo's in general. People buy them for safety mostly so they aren't beat to death and usually well maintained. It's also funny how people don't buy Volvo thinking high performance car. But the C30 definitely is fun to drive and handles incredibly well. Too bad they stopped making them in the states. Hope they bring it back one day.
Thank you man I appreciate it. I definitely lucked out on this example. I feel the same way - previous owners take good care of their volvos which makes buying them used a great idea. I had no idea about volvo as a brand until I drove this car and I was hooked!
You can increase performance with the Volvo Polestar tune. It’s dealer installed and increases the HP and Torque and changes the mapping to improve the power band. More power lower in rev range. You’ll notice the difference but of course the car has no need for more power anyway. I have owned both a 2012 R Design with the Polestar tune and an earlier 2008 base T5. Enjoy your car it’s a great daily driver as you’ve said! Good review! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!🎆
The engine was in the 2nd gen Focus RS which is more impressive than just the ST. Notice you have the manual rear view mirror. You should upgrade it to the auto dimming with compass.
@@steveo8533 You're right about the C30 but wrong about the S60R. The P1 T5 S40, V50, C30, C70 and st225 Focus ST and 2nd gen Focus RS all have the same engine. The S60R (04-07) had a different engine.
Awesome video and agree with your points! My 08 C30 looks almost identical to yours. Same color T5 M66. Love this car and it's my first turbo car as well. Still puts a smile on my face. I come from rock crawling and offroading and wanted to have a little fun with a fast small manual car. Thought I would get bored of it quick and go back to a 4x4 but i'm hooked and never want to get rid of it lol
Best designed hatch, I beg to differ. Please check Alfasud Sprint Veloce and yes I do own a C30. That centre console is what got me plus the beautiful rear end.
I have a 2010 C30 1,6 R design and its my best Volvo ever after a 440, an 850, a V70 and an S60. Agree what You tell about this car, I experience exactly the same.
I have the 2011 C30 R design with the Polestar optimization software it makes 260 HP Dyno proven!!! Will be adding the elevate down pipe and cat back exhaust and that would put this rocket in the 300 HP range it’s very rapid as it is and gets lots of looks as well from German car owners because they know damn well is a unique car whilst you find them in the suburbs parking lot as if they’re going out of style 😂 a lot of envious people always parking near it to try and scratch the paint but I have cameras installed so no worries there anyhow cheers bru keep making c30 content 💪🏻
I just picked up a 09 c30 t5 with the polestar tune and I have this grin that won’t go away when driving it. I’ve got studded tires on it right now and it’s also a blast to drive on snow and ice. I like the interior, some friends have said it’s plain and boring but that’s what I like about it. Im So glad I picked this over the other more common cars when shopping and plan to keep this for a while.
The C30 pretty much *is* the Focus ST with a Volvo body. Which is a great car as the Ford model, but Volvo took the level of luxury and quality up to eleven. All of the technical parts are interchangeable between the Volvo and the Focus.
Things I like about my C3 2.0d: -huge amount of torque -good amount of power (stage 1-170HP) -nimble as hell -good quality interior -nice exterior design -stiff suspension(good for sporty driving, but a nightmare for city driving) -insanely good sound system (i have the premium one) Things I don’t like: -when snowy, the FWD is not the best for having fun (almost crashed it twice for not turning) -even tho you have 2 backsears, no one had ever managed to stay behind me as the leg room is non existent. - the halo headlights are like 2 candles at night. I have switched to phillips pro night vision in order to see something at night - fuel consumption is not great compared to other 2.0 diesel engines. - common problems with the electronics. (My right door electrics don’t work for whatever reason). -common turbo problems, injector problems, - DPF filter is the worst out of all car makers, as it has a lifespan of aprox 150.000km or 90.000miles
Congrats with your beauty mate. I love my maple red C30 T5. Giving you a follow cus I am considering to change my exhaust as well. The 5 cilinder sounds soooo good, but I’d love it to roar just a little more.
Your'e not wrong. I have a C30 r-design with 80,000 on the clock. It's the most perfect car I've ever owned full stop. Amazing road handling, pulls so hard in 4th gear then into 5th, 6th for a super smooth quiet ride unless like you say I have the sound system on.
I am jealous of the viewing angles you get in the C30. V40 is kinda bad, so I made sure it get one with the rear parking sensors. I have adjusted to that lack of visibility quite well. I love the look of these cars.
Yep. I'm looking for one. I have a 2004 XC70 and I just won't give it up. Turning it into a newer car just replacing a lot of engine parts and down to thee suspension. This car is on my list for a second car. Volvo's will last forever and they are reliable... Just need to update on parts or your car will just never move lol.
I am in North Bennington Vt..I own a 2008 C30 Turbo R Design with 102 K..miles!! I will Never Sell my C30 Turbo Love it!! I have driven back and forth from Vermont to Missoula Montana 7 Times..and Knock on Wood Still Running Well..Soon I will bring my Volvo to dealer for Timing Belt Water Pump and Belt Tensioners...I change my Oil every 5K..with 5W 30 Mobil 1.. Best Oil Ever..Also my C30 Runs like New Solid solid as a Rock.....I also love My Dynamic Stereo..its Top Notch..No Sunroof..which is actually Rare......1 thing that sucked i have to Change Shifter Blind...What a pain in the Ass..but I did it. Another Pain is the Pollen Filter ..gotta remove Gas Pedal..Hard but I got it done..also check Engine Splash Shield. They tend to lose Screws holding Spash guard on..I believe there are 7
Awesome car man! But if the clutch is feeling weird to you then you should replace it. The pedal should have plenty of leeway off the floor before it engages. Your car is at 150k and its well worth it to put in a new clutch/flywheel before it takes a shit and strands you on the road or causes other failures. While you’re down there id recommend pressure washing the bell housing and replacing the slave cylinder too. It would be a big project but it could save your ass
I'm considering this car in black colour, y. 2007, 109k km, and 4 cyl. engine 1,8 or 2,0 benzin, european version as here in EU we usually don't have available the 5 cyl. engines. I absolutely love the overall look of this car, yet I'm not sure about the engine's durability after this long time, I only know it's a Ford engine produced in Belgium or NL. Hope I will buy this car and nothing else and hope it will serve me for a few years without major issues. I love all cars with 3 doors, but this one has probably 2,5 doors:).
@ Ragna Rok.The 1.8 is a Ford motor. Verry reliable. My first c30 was a 1.8 . Instant Love. After that a s 60. 👍 But I couldn't forget the c 30. It's such a beautiful car. Know I own a C30 T5 r design. It will never leave.♥️♥️
Hello from Brazil, i love my 2009 C30, how should you already know the C30 is derivative of volvo 1800ES that was a shooting brake and today I can see some similarity especially when the back seats are folded, in your car(in my car to).
I have a 2009 C30, non r design. But I love the rain sensing windshield wipers and the memory driver’s seat. My only gripe about the whole car is a lack of rear proximity sensors for parking. Other than that it is a perfect fun daily
Nice review man! I love the front of the C30 and the interior is simple yet great. The dash looks a little empty on the passenger side though and I'm indecisive on the rear exterior. Sometime it looks great and sometimes it looks kinda awkward. But I feel like this is THE used Volvo to get! Also nice Aipom plush lol
Thank you man! I can definitely say the styling has grown on me. I really didn’t like the rear at first but after owning it i’ve come to love it for its heritage and unique-ness. And thank you for the Aipom love haha!
Nice review and car mate! 👍 Similar to you and other commenters I absolutely love the looks of my 2007 Passion Red C30, ive had it since 2009 and love the looks the same as the day I bought it. I might be the odd one out here, but my C30 is a 2.0L Turbo Diesel (diesels were really popular here in the UK) and i’ll be keeping it until i go electric. I have had mega problems with the (manual) transmission the last few years with 3 gearboxes and 2 clutches fitted 🤦🏻♂️ I did upgrade the exhaust and got a custom twin one made 😉
Our 2008 C30 has a timing belt, I went to the dealership to check. Some had timing chains that year according to a friend, our C30 has about 18,000 miles on it and we keep it a climate controlled garage in Florida. I’m concerned about the timing belt, I’m not sure if I should spend the roughly $1,000 necessary to replace it in this low mileage car?
These cars can be expensive if going to a shop/dealer for every service. I believe the timing belt is recommended every 100k miles or so, I recently had it done along with the water pump which was very expensive. Aside from that, expect to pay more for brakes, oil, etc. due to its luxury and premium nature. Again, despite the costs I have enjoyed the car immensely, and you get what you pay for in this case
I have another video on my channel showing the roof rack install! I purchased them from Volvoswag.com, the info is in the description of my roof rack video

I'm 19 and I got my driving licence last wensday. I've desired this car for months because it's a Volvo, it's rare and I love coupés. Sadly you can't find a lot of these in France so I will surely have to buy one in the Netherlands or Germany. Which engine do you recommand for a young driver like me who learnt driving with a 95 HP Peugeot 2008?
I can see why you’re drawn to the C30! Honestly I would pick whatever you can find at a good price and what you can afford. The T5 is excellent but definitely pricey on gas and maintenance can cost more. I only have experience with the T5 but as a new driver honestly I think you’ll love any engine, especially if you can find a manual transmission which I recommend immensely! Good luck🙏🏽
Since you’re over seas see if you are able to find some diesel models do some research on them. If I recall correctly the d4 is the 5 cylinder diesel in the states we only got the t5 in the c30
I believe this car has a good balance of fuel efficiency and power. It isn't necessarily a car you buy due to its fuel efficiency, unless you're going for a diesel. I average roughly 23-25mpg in combined driving but I can achieve 30mpg or higher if doing a long road trip primarily on freeway. Premium fuel here in California definitely hurts but it's 100% worth it for me due to the other things I love about the car
I love my 2009 C30, and I also love watching videos of other people talk about their C30s! Thanks for sharing. TH-cam has been a great place to learn so much about the car. I will agree with you that the clutch is just plain weird!
Of course! More content on the way. I’m glad you could relate with the clutch - at this point i’m used to it and it doesn’t bug me too much haha
I was surprised with my 09 r design 's clutch point as well, but actually found it aids in throttle blipping for me
I have a Volvo C30 RDesign also she's my baby the best car I have ever own.

Love seeing the way its look has changed so much with all of the stuff you've done to it! Looks GREAT!

Many thanks to all who support Ukraine 🤗
The engine was in the 2nd gen Focus RS which is more impressive than just the ST. Notice you have the manual rear view mirror. You should upgrade it to the auto dimming with compass.
Good to know! That’s awesome! And dang i didn’t even know that mirror was an option :o
The T5 engine used in the RS was the same one used in the S60R 300bhp, the C30 is the the same engine used in the ST.

It really is! Makes it hard to be interested in any other cars haha!
the 5cyl should have come with a warning sign "highly addictive"
Like the Blue Sillicone Coolant hoses/ lines...how easy was that to do..and how many Total to do ?
Super clean volvo dude! (coming from a fellow C30 owner) I was just curious how you swapped out the shift knob and boot? Maybe make a video tutorial?
Thank you man! And oh that was a whole mission haha I had to had a shop remove the knob. Not a bad idea, i’ll see what I can do!
New video regarding the shift knob and boot has been posted! thank you for the suggestion :)
Nice review man! I love the front of the C30 and the interior is simple yet great. The dash looks a little empty on the passenger side though and I'm indecisive on the rear exterior. Sometime it looks great and sometimes it looks kinda awkward. But I feel like this is THE used Volvo to get!
Also nice Aipom plush lol

@@AmrinDosanjh yeah if you get a standard C30 the rear is kinda ugly but with the bodykit and these twin exhaust pipes it’s waaay better.
Also whats your take on Coilovers ?? Suspension etc
nice bro, like from Brazil!

Oh and I have the Moose badges too! 😉
Very cool car, looking different and very nice video from you! That’s why i give you immediately like subscribe
Great video 😊 how is the car getting on? Curious to know the mileage you got to in the end, or if it is still going!
The car was rock solid! I ended up selling it at just about 200,000 Miles or 320,000kms. I have seen some out there with around 300k miles as well!
Did u have to do a timing chain too? I'm lookin at 1 for my son also are they car that need constant money thrown at it

all i need is a comfortable seat and a silent ride, volvo all the way.

Good vid. Thank you
What roof rack is that? I need one for my C30.
How about the fuel consumption?
I believe this car has a good balance of fuel efficiency and power. It isn't necessarily a car you buy due to its fuel efficiency, unless you're going for a diesel. I average roughly 23-25mpg in combined driving but I can achieve 30mpg or higher if doing a long road trip primarily on freeway. Premium fuel here in California definitely hurts but it's 100% worth it for me due to the other things I love about the car
I’m getting the automatic 🫤 I already paid for it bc my brother had it so I’m hoping the automatic version is ok.. any input on this?
Many people actually prefer the automatic over the manual! Just make sure to maintain it via fluid changes and enjoy :)
I love Volvo but our problem is service after sales
I need the link to buy me the roof racks
Do you have heated seats?
best video A+
Thanks gui🧡
I have heard Rumors that it may Be reintroduced as a different Model
We can dream haha! That would be very cool
Great video! I love my C30! #c30crew
i’m glad! they’re SUPER underrated
I’m guessing it’s not economical, still looks good though.
With the manual and driving 70mph it actually gets around 30mpg, not too bad! City is awful though lol low 20s
Wich year is this model?
2009 Volvo C30 R-Design!
Volvo is best. I have s40 d3. And a s60 d3.
try a saab's seats and then tell me volvo comes a close second..best car seats and interior in the World!
I would love to try and I don’t doubt it!
