What Car? says
For Unusual design; good build quality; efficient diesels
Against Limited practicality; hard to find on used market
Verdict Volvo's C30 is neither a true coupe nor a small family hatchback
Go for… 1.6D SE
Avoid… 2.5 R-Design Sport
- 1. The C is supposed to stand for coupe, but from most angle angles it looks distinctly like a hatchback
- 2. Despite of nine engines being on offer, only a few are worth serious consideration on the used market
- 3. A comprehensive face-lift at the end of 2009 brought the C30 in line with newer members of the Volvo family
- 4. Older cars are also susceptible to a stability control system failure, which can be expensive to fix
