Volvo C30 Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Volvo C30 1.6 S 2007

This is the first Vovo I’ve owned as I’ve always been put off by its ’boring but safe’ image but this is a really nice car and not boring at all to drive. It’s only a 4 seater so may not suit everyone but it suits us perfectly as a work and family car and is cheaper than the Audi A3 but built on the same spec. The wife really likes the interior and I have to say it is very comfortable and uncluttered. Far from finding the safety features boring (now I have a 8 month old) they are very reassuring - we have taken the option of the ’Magic Eye Mirrors’, which at £350 weren’t cheap but I think money well spent as my wife has always been nervous before about motorway driving but as these mirrors light up when someone is in your blind spot she’s a lot more confident. Running costs are extremely economical and all in all I think this is a very good choice if you’re looking for a family car with a bit of a difference.
