I've seen the C-30 at the Volvo dealer and the L.A. Auto Show. The interior is very roomy for the size of the car, and definitely high level. The 5-cylinder engine gets it to 60 mph in 6 seconds, IIRC. It's really a lot of car for its size and cost - less than $30K.

I haven't seen a single example on the L.A. streets. Maybe consumers aren't used to a three-door hatchback Volvo as opposed to the traditional Volvo sedan.

There's a comparo test of a C-30 somewhere on line. I can't remember what the the C-30 was pitted against, but it held its own pretty well in speed, handling and braking.

They're cool little cars.
