Car is an 07, in Canada we got the c30 a year earlier. Replaced the original 5 sped manual with a 6 speed from a turbo and gained a 15% improvement in fuel economy. Great long distance trip car, about 225000 miles and still solid. Front wheel bearings the only weak spot.

That the tires don't last very long and they're expensive.
It's cute. It's zippy. It has a large trunk area. It's unique.

It is a safe sporty vehicle.
The design and function fit my lifestyle. Is a very versatile vehicle. Gas mileage is not the greatest, but makes up for it in safety.

Reliable vehicle and fuel efficient.
Reliable, fuel efficient, comfortable seating for 2, roomy hatch area, very small backseat, fast acceleration.

A practical and zippy commuter
Vehicle is very fun to drive. It is cramped however, but you can still fit a great deal of stuff in it for trips of up to two people, more and it's uncomfortable. Gas mileage isn't great, but it's decent. The car has very few features, except for heated seats and aux, but I find myself not needing more. The seats are supremely comfortable. I hear positive things about Volvo reliability, however in my case there was a massive defect in the harmonic balancer at 70,000 miles that required a long and expensive engine rebuild. The car is also difficult to work on.

It does not require a traditional key.
I like that it is reliable and does not require an expensive amount of gas. I dislike that the air conditioning is unreliable. I do not have any other complaints.

My car is safe and fun to drive at the same time.
I like the fact that my car is fun to drive and has a lot of space to use even though it is small. My only problem with my car is how fuel inefficient it is. I get about 24 mpg, which is not horrible, but it makes it hard on me as a student. Still, I understand that with the mass of the car, it is difficult to make the car more efficient.

The c30 is a very safe car, and that's important when you are driving your family around.
Volvo has always been the most reliable vehicle I have owned. The c30 is very fun to drive, and extremely safe. When rear ended, I had a scratch, and the other car was totaled, which says a lot

Nice sized hatchback car for the price
Have not had any problems yet and it is very reliable. The engine is very quiet. Love the size of the trunk for a hatchback. The back windshield wipers are a nice touch.

Great style, fun to drive, expensive to maintain
I really like the design of my car, it looks unique and is not a very common car. The replacement parts can get a little expensive as it is a Volvo. I do my own oil changes and it is a bit different than most of the vehicles I've owned in the past, and had to buy some custom socket heads and elbows to get in and change the oil filter. I have about 140k miles on it, some issues I deal with is my sunroof leaks into the floor pan of the vehicle, leaving the carpet musty smelling after a hard rain and the inside of the windows fogged up... Sometimes becoming ice in the winter. The engine mounts broke after a long trip causing the driveshafts to need replacements... Very expensive. The folding plastic shield that protects the drive mode shifter broke apart and actually wedged the shifter in neutral on my way to work one morning forcing me to have to take it apart. The started is electronic and has on occasion not engaged and given me an error which usually just requires me to wait a few minutes and try again. I still like the vehicle a lot... But it's getting old and will need something new soon.

If you take care of it, Volvo's will last up to 15 years.
The car is small, but can hold a lot. It is good on gas, and is fun to drive. I would recommend it to anyone.

Sporty yet safe. The Volvo c30 is a fun ride, and for the price, very good.
The bucket seats are very comfortable, even though the car is small, it is not crowded in the front seats. The back has a surprisingly large amount of storage space and the seats in the rear can be folded down for even more. The look of the car is entirely sporty and sleek while keeping to Volvo's policy of safety. It is definitely a very fun drive and reliable as well. While not a winter car, snow tires go a long way making it easier to use year-round. My only complaint is it has unimpressive gas mileage.

It is reliable and easy to drive because it is small
That it is efficient and cute. I like it because it is safe and comfortable. I dislike the small space it has.

This car is great on mpg, comfy to drive long distance, has never left me weary.
I absolutely love my vehicle, however maintenance can be expensive at times. I have been in a pretty bad accident with this vehicle and chose to have it completely repaired because of how much I enjoy having this vehicle. It has never broken down, has been extremely reliable, and has been great on gas mileage. Living in Wisconsin, we have harsh winters. My car bares no fear in the snow or on ice. I would buy this car 100 times over before even considering any other vehicle.
