It is a very good looking car and it has a solid feel. However, it has some holes when it comes down to technology. For example, the car comes with a navigation system but no backup camera. It has a Bluetooth audio streaming but no push start button.
@@ubiased23a lot of the newer tech in cars is unnecessary garbage. Those things would ruin a C30. You literally don't need a back up camera with a glass hatch that wide with such visibility. I miss when cars were specifically CARS with just enough tech for music and dvds with some comfortability, but not unnecessary stuff like "lane assist" and autobrakes that just encourage newer drivers to pay less attention to the road than they already do. I'd love for Volvo to bring back the c30 or a similar car, but with everything being a hybrid or electric, they'd probably ruin it the way they did the newer V60s...
A friend of mine owns a fully loaded 2012 C30 T5 r-design 6 speed manual, and it really is a fun car to drive and even ride in. He lets me drive it all the time. His doesn't have the Polestar chip, but he does have a Mototec Carbon Fiber CAI with 3" Piping & 6" Filter. It also has a do88 Big Pack Upgraded Intercooler & Piping Kit. For exhaust, he has a Mototec 2.5" Touring Edition Exhaust System with 4" rolled tips. He has a Mototec 3" Downpipe w/HF Cat. He also has a RICA Stage 3 Remap. He's running 245/40ZR18 front and rear tires. He uses Hawk HPS brake pads with stainless steel brake lines. He also has a Quaife ATB Helical Limited Slip Diff. I think he has some light suspension work as well. I'll have to ask him about his other mods again. Lets just say that his C30 is a totally different animal! Man, what a fun car to drive!!
i own a 2010 r design facelift c30.. albeit the 1.6 petrol for insurance purposes as its my first car, i think its a fantastic car, well built, drives smooth especially at 70mph and has a great sound system but i find the seats a bit unsupportive, comfortable but you move around a little when you push it round some corners, just thought they would have upgraded them in the t5... the only thing that lets it down, awesome car though.
man I love Volvos Swedish racing green color...So sharp with the black rims...But damn that car mustuv had a rough ride...never seen the camera jiggle so much...looked like you were riding a pole full of stars..
Always hated the rear of the C30 lol. I don't find that design any bit attractive. The front end looks good tho. :) All-around it's a decent car tho. I'd rather go with the S60 tho. If I was getting a hatchback I'd get a VW GTI, WRX or Mazdaspeed3 instead of this C30R.
Any C30 is a privilege to be behind of in traffic. One of the best looking rear ends on the road imo.

I had a 2013 with the Polestar for years and loved it. Best hatch ever produced.
What did you like about it and how reliable was it?
I absolutely love Volvos tuned by Polestar! And that beautiful colour, fits it perfectly!

Recently bought a C30 T5 , absolutely love it, sounds great, love the quirky look
Reckon it's a collectors yet? I'm seriously trying to get my hands on one... Been eyeing these for far to long
Kersy Govender I reckon it will definitely become a collector’s in the future
I have fond memories of the interior styling of this generation of Volvo. Parents had a 2008 S40 and I really like the way it looked on the inside.
Lovely car. That 5 cylinder is always such a joy to listen to. I wish it was less muffled though. Not louder, but angrier, like in the Focus ST or RS.
You have no taste in cars if you think this is ugly
Thanks for saying that
I was waiting for the voice of Doug de muro to apear out of nowhere saying 'this is the Volvo blah blah bla
Never realized you could get the Polestar ion the U. S. Should have done my homework! Very cool!
The sound of the 5 cylinder si adorable
Unfortunately but the style is so unique and the color as well. You'd really stand out especially considering the limited number of these.

I agree with you buddy
Headlight washer. I don't know in the US, but in Europe if you have xenon headlights they are mandatory.
So much road and wind noise, can't hear that glorious 5 cylinder enough.
I love this car !!!
Na, ką aš galiu Pasakyti... Super Auto!!!!! Pati vairuoju Tokį 👍 Tarp kitko Niekada nemėgau volvo... Net nesitikėjau tokio Stebuklo 👍
I love their older models like the S70 better.
I love mine :D
Coincidence, I use the same ramp to get on M14 every day
What's the 0-60 on this car

What are those sqares beneath the front lights?
