I saw 2 in the past week, they are damn sexy cars. I searched and read the threads on here, but none of them had any info on the cars first hand from a member on here. I’m extremely interested in looking at picking one up in a year or 2 when they’re a bit cheaper used. Just curious to hear thoughts on them, if anyone has driven one, owns one, or knows someone who owns one. I’m mostly interested in the 6 speed/5cyl turbo version, but I would also like some first hand info on the fit and finish of the interior and exterior. EDIT: from this thread:[http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38593&highlight=volvo+c30](http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38593&highlight=volvo+c30) it sounds like what i currently have is better in every way, but who knows. ---

drove one a few times, I REALLY liked it - just not the “4-5k over what it should be” price tag ☹ ---

I was looking at snagging one when I had a potential to work at Ford (beefy discount). 5cyl. turbo, right? If they made these in AWD I would have really seriously considred it for a nice DD. ---

Still may be interested to hear what other people think about it Ok I am a huge Volvo fan I currently have a Volvo 850 T5 its a great car. I test drove the C30 T5 and while its a great car I feel that it needed some improvements to the power band. The Suspension is great and the car handles like a Go Cart. My friend actually just purchased one and did a few mods, Air Intake, full 3in Exhaust and reprogrammed the ecu. He is getting 15psi out of the factory turbo. I drove it and man is it fast!!!😃 Anywho Volvos are great cars and they last forever! My recommendation is just go test drive one and check out the volvo forums: [volvospeed.com](http://volvospeed.com), Volvo Forums, swedespeed. Im sure you can fnd some info. ---

I love the way the c30 looks and the interior, however i refuse to consider one unless they come out with a T5-AWD model or even better an “R” model…they look and hadle friggen amazing on coilovers and factory option upgraded wheels, o and blue ftw. (can you tell i want one?) ---
