Reviews of the 2008 Volvo C30
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Version 2.0 trim level of the 2008 Volvo C30 comes with a premium audio system that puts out superb surround sound. The car has an exceptional design, both inside and out, and decent handling.
The Bad: The optional automatic transmission is slow to shift even in manual selection mode. Fuel economy could be better in such a small car. Torque steer is a factor under hard acceleration.
The Bottom Line: The 2008 Volvo C30 makes for a fun and sporty little car that will stand out in a crowd. It can be optioned up with the full range of tech, though its stereo interface leaves something to be desired. Leave out the automatic transmission option in favor of the manual.
