Volvo C30 (2007 - 2012) 1.6 S 3d (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I don't know that of course, but I feel comfortable with it because I think it is refined and stylish, but in an understated sort of way (not something I can say about myself, though).

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Those who've seen it appeared to like it.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, certainly. It's a very nice car and I don't regret buying it.

What are you likely to buy next?

I hope to keep this car for a very long time, so I'm not thinking about that.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,650

When did you buy the car?

March 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

It feels very solid and stable, rather heavy as well, which I like.

What's it like to park?

The car is quite short which makes it easy to park. It is a bit wide, so unless its close to the curb will stick out.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The air conditioning wasn't working when I bought it and that needed a new condenser to be sorted which was a bit expensive.

What's most practical about your car?

I like the glass hatch, it's at a nice hight and opens almost effortlessly to give good access to the boot. The parking ticket holder on the windscreen is a small thing, but really practical.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

There is button that immediately de-fogs the windscreen which I find superb. It is the base configuration, so it has no options, but even then the stereo is really nice, with a lovely sound.
