Ordered one of these today, R design one, Such a nice drive and excellent interior, Just couldnt find anything better in its price and class.

I also really like the look.

Anyone else got one the pre facelift ones, this is the facelifted one so it looks like we are going to have to wait 3 months as its not quite released yet.



Ps. opinions are welcome, even negative ones as i like it and so does the wife.

It will be the first brand new car ive ever bought...

 

I think they are awesome looking cars until you see the arse end Vile rear!

 

They're nice looking cars actually.

 

What is it?

 

rear is a little facelifted but it has grown on me since i now nearly own one lol.

i agreed though rear end is a little ugly, rest of it is so nice though

Oh Chop its the 2010 Volvo C30 R Design

 

ps. i love Um Bongo!

 

Not bad mate, what price bracket are they in?

 

arnt they 4x4?

 

I like them, seen a White one some type of OE kit (don't know the engine size) I think the back end looks ok if you squint

Nice car hope you enjoy it

 

On the advert the white one powering past the graffiti looks pretty cool. What colour have you gone for? ........please dont say that green/blue above, cause its a bit pish IMO.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Hmmm looks quite cool for a volvo!

 

Nice car! Drive pretty well too
Best of luck with it

 

my boss has one for a runaround. i quite like it.

 

nope gunmetal grey pearl with black leather and cream inserts.

As its for the wife we just went for the 1.6.

dave they are around 17K depending on options

Seems so well built and drives lovely. Really nice inside.

 

Looks good. Something a bit different. Does it have VVT?

 

 

 

No VVT im afraid so im still on lookout for an St170 to add to my Garage.

As i do require a quick car for the Twistys!

 

Cant find a grey pic but its really nice.

 

this is an old style seat.



anyway thought id show you thats enough from me....

 

Not as keen on the facelift as the pre-facelift, I'd deffo have one of the old ones in white. Stunning wee car.

 

I thought the same and i love white im just worried its a fad.

Then i saw the facelift and it loos so much meaner and modern IMO.

I would have been silly to buy an old one when new one is coming out so soon!

 

what engines in the 'hot' version?

 

i think you can get if with focus st engine...

Would be very nice indeed.

 

Which is a Volvo engine anyway lol

lovely sound from a 5 cylinder.

 

...i didnt think about that.
if i had the choice i think id go for the volvo with the proper volvo engine.

 

17 aint bad is it ! I paid 16 for the wifes focus zetec s!

 

benni has one of these.

 

exactly what i was going to say. the front end looks ace, but the rear, a discrase

unless its changed being a new model?

 

I really like the look of these

 

My Mrs loved the pre face lift ones since she saw a silver one in the film Twilight.

 

Love these

 

Lol don't you mean you can get a focus st with the volvo engine?


They share the same chassis at the focus too don't they?

 

I like them, they can look really sporty!

 

Nice cars these..........arse isnt as bad as a Megane!



Look lovely in WHite with the factory kit!

 

yep... loving these....

hot ones in cream white with dark brown body kit.... nice

 

cream with brown bodykits? ive not seen that combo but it sounds horrendous.

 

yep exactly same platform.we now do volvos aswell as fords and c30 is nice esp r design models.
just a shame everything u change requires to order software for even things like window switches

 

I have one of these so can tell you what I think from 12 months experience. They are fucking awesome!! Mine is Magnum Grey, R-Design and it's a head turner. When I go for fuel and stuff people ask me what it is, and that they like it.

There is geniunely nothing I can fault with it. Handles like a dream, holds the road very well and has some nice options you don't get with Ford and the like. Twin climate control is one of the many good features. The back end will grow on you, it's my favourite feature of the car now.



That's my 'Baby' above. You and your wife won't be dissapointed.

Benni.

 

quite possibly the ONLY volvo i would ever own, think these are gorgeous cars!
