Volvo C30 [MERGED]

[kyle618]

i think its really cool car, and its worth the 1.6m price. although we cant avoid comparing it to 1.6m mid size jap sedans.

medyo OT, but i really liked the upholstery they had in the C30 displayed sa international motorshow sa worldtrade last week. unfortunately, the people at volvo locked the doors of the car so we didnt have the chance to feel the fabric or get a nice photo of it. anyway, do you guys know an upholstery shop that can replicate it? kakaiba eh kysa yun common leatherette.

Here are some shots of the Volvo C30 I took at the recent motorshow.

my wife likes the c30 too! looks similar to mini cooper un nasa trade show, 2 - 3 months ang waitlist daw?! kaya ni lock un car sa show, sold nasa kasi un.

oo totoo sold na yung unit na nandun.. actually wlang waiting time meron na clang available.. yung kukunin ko if ever is a limited edition 2.4l.. basically parang yung features nung nasa motorshow na t5 kaso 2.4l lang ang engine.. may idea ba kayo magkano maintenance ng volvo??

thanks!

wow! 1.6M European car?! sure looks like a better buy than the 1-series BMW.. it's a European car with a not-so-insane price.

but why do I get the feeling that the Ford Focus TDCi is a better deal? after all they have the same underpinnings (Ford C1 platform) and that wonderful engine..

or buy a Sante Fe CRDi or as BM suggests, an Outlander.

[BlueBimmer]

yeah..also consider volvo's low resale...

[dardmc]

whats the consumption of your outlander? i think i really need to reconsider.

If there's a CRDi VGT version of this C30, i think it'll be perfect. Beautiful car, powerful, safe and not expensive. Forget resale. As long as you enjoy the car, resale isn't that important - except if you plan to sell this like after a year or two.

Maybe they'll consider planting a diesel engine very soon.
