Nice...
I would have loved a gti golf. The problem was the insurance costs...
the Volvo is the safest car in its category with as many airbags as i have fingers and a steel roll cage.the next safest thing is a Swiss library, haha.
of course ill drive safely...driving in France and Paris in particular is soooo scary! At the moment, and with my experience, i see my car as a tool...not a toy. I'm expecting this to switch over in a couple of years...
First set of wheels!
Gentlemen, What an exciting moment: my first thread on the automotive forum and my first car! Until I give him/her a name let me present Volvo c30, a three door (I insist, the boot counts as a door), 115hp, 1.5 ton machine of Swedish engineering. NB: the ...
Congrats :-)

congrats on your first car and a funky one at that.
i liked the design from the moment they came out. they are targeted at people just like you, the youngsters with a sense of style. hopefully they will keep you in the volvo family as you get older. thats their plan at least. can i ask the engine? is it th...
Hi Graham,
It's a 1.6L diesel engine. the gearbox is super smooth and acceleration is enough to make me smile...for now...and until i get an Audi r8 ;)

a great choice for a guy your age. my son had a 2000 1.8 turbo golf gti at your age, but it was an older car. he now drives a VW Transporter, but he is a mechanic and in a band so needs the space. i've pretty much decided that as i'm 49 in 3 weeks, i'll b...

Nice ride!
Hi Epilogue! I essentially "traded" my 1988 Carrera for my (then new) 2009 C30. It handles like it's on rails & I can drive it anywhere... Kudos! g2
