Zippy and safe little vehicle

My Volvo c30 is a very nice reliable car. I have had few issues with the vehicle. It is good for road trips or commuting and can get around quickly. The acceleration and drive of the car in general is very smooth. The safety features included are also unmatched. With 2 airbags, inflatable curtains, and whiplash-preventing seats you can't go wrong.

Pros from Owners

Lily F.

Very reliable, very responsive when driving fast or slow, fuel-efficient by 2009 standards, sturdy for its size, able to buy a base model without all the extras that are built into cars these days, likely to go to 200k at this point.

Cons from Owners

Lily F.

It has been steady, reliable, fun to drive. Fuel efficiency started to decrease as it approached 100k on the odometer. The roof rack makes the door leak a bit. Far too recognizable with its funky tail lights, but has 350 pounds more curb weight than the ford focus and Mazda 3. Plastic seal on the hood started to peel back around 100k.
