2011 volvo c30 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Fresh styling for premium hatch. introductionthe volvo c30 gets revised styling for 2011. A new front fascia, redesigned fenders, a new honeycomb grille, and trapezoidal headlights give the 2011 c30 a fresh look. The new front styling on the 2011 volvo c30 complements nicely the unique styling of the rear of the car. The c30 comes with more standard equipment for 2011, also. the c30 is a premium compact that competes with the audi a3 and volkswagen gti sporty hatchbacks. A two-door hatchback, the c30 shares most of its mechanicals with the volvo s40 compact sedan. Both come with a 2. 5-liter turbocharged five-cylinder engine rated at 227 horsepower and a choice of 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic geartronic with auto-stick. The c30 uses front-wheel drive. fuel economy is an epa-estimated 21/30 mpg city/highway with the automatic, 21/29 mpg with the manual gearbox. the 2011 c30 t5 r-design features a retuned suspension aimed at sharpening chassis dynamics and steering reflexes. Spring stiffness has been increased by 30 percent while the dampers feature a new mono-tube design that build-up pressure quicker for 20 percent increased low-speed damping. It has good steering feel, stays flat in corners, and is nimble enough to slice through traffic. The turbocharged five-cylinder engine provides plenty of punch to keep the fun coming. The standard cloth upholstery is a unique fabric that resembles wetsuit material. Room up front is plentiful, and the controls are easy to spot and use. The two-door body style makes getting into the backseat a bit of a hassle, but the rear seat is comfortable for two passengers. Those rear seats fold down to create a large rear hatch area with lots of carrying capacity. in addition to the revised the c30 was introduced for the 2007 model year. overall, the volvo c30 is an attractive compact with premium equipment and trim that's practical and fun to drive. The c30 comes with volvo's safety engineering and is loaded with safety features. lineupthe 2011 c30 t5 24,600) comes standard with cloth upholstery; air conditioning; cruise control; keyless entry; leather-wrapped steering wheel; leather and aluminum shift knob; leather parking brake cover, tilt/telescoping steering wheel with audio controls; height-adjustable manual driver's seat; trip computer; outside temperature display; power windows, locks and mirrors; 50/50 split-folding rear seat; 160-watt am/fm/cd stereo with six speakers; bluetooth hands-free phone interface; and 205/50r17 all-season tires on alloy wheels. Full leather seating is optional 1,200). A 6-speed manual transmission is standard, and a 5-speed automatic is an option 1,250). the c30 t5 r-design 26,950) upgrades with two-tone leather/flextech upholstery, aluminum interior trim, and blue-faced instruments. Outside, r-design is distinguished by additional bright trim and body-color (rather than black) wheel flares, sill extensions, and fog lights. R-design gets a sports suspension complemented by 215/45r18 tires. Full leather is optional 200). A 6-speed manual transmission is standard, a 5-speed automatic is optional 1,250). options for both models: the multimedia package 2,000) includes sirius satellite radio and a 650-watt dynaudio premium sound system with 10 speakers and dolby pro logic ii surround sound. The preferred package 1,800) comprises power-adjustable seats for both driver and front passenger, keyless drive, and active xenon headlights; on the base model it also includes fog lights and additional aluminum interior trim. The climate package 900) has heated front seats, headlight washers, rain-sensing wipers, electronic climate control with an interior air quality system and a humidity sensor. Volvo's blind spot information system 700) and sirius satellite radio 400) are optional. safety features include the mandated dual front airbags, plus side-curtain airbags for head protection, and side-impact airbags for torso protection. Active safety features consist of anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control (esc), electronic brake-force distribution (ebd) and brake assist. The optional blis blind spot information system can help alert the driver to a vehicle in the blind spot when signaling to change lanes. walkaroundthe volvo c30 design is striking, particularly from the side. The roofline starts out high and slopes gradually down, pinching the rear windows. Those windows are drawn in, leaving room for another volvo characteristic, pronounced shoulders. the c30 is a two-door hatchback, also called a three-door. Sporty design cues include short front and rear overhangs, an integrated body kit, and big wheels on wide tires. On r-design models the entire kit is body-color, for a more subtle look that we like much better. the story isn't the c30's front or sides, though. Volvo is putting more emphasis on the rear aspect of the c30, choosing to show that angle in promotional materials. The most prominent feature is the dark-tinted rear glass, an attractive frameless trapezoidal shape that recalls the rear of the 1971-73 volvo 1800 es wagon. The glass dips down low and is flanked by unique taillights that rise up to the roof and jut out at the bottom to match the shape of the car's shoulders. The volvo name is spelled out across the bottom of the glass in bold, bright letters. The look is different from anything out there and is strong enough to give the car a distinct character. for 2011, t5 r-design models come with 18-inch wheels volvo calls midir. C30s come standard with 17-inch alloy wheels. the volvo c30 is based on the same platform as the s40 and v50, and all share the same 103. 9-inch wheelbase. But the c30 is nearly 9 inches shorter than the s40, all sliced from behind the rear wheels. the volvo c30 competes with the audi a3, mini cooper s, and volkswagen gti. The c30 has a longer wheelbase than all three. The mini is two feet shorter than all three of these cars. From the rear, the c30 has the most character of these cars. From the front, it would be easy to mistake the c30 for a volvo s40 or v50. interiorvolvo aims at sportiness inside the c30, along with high-tech, scandinavian style. Volvo's trademark floating center stack is the central design element. Along the center is another series of buttons for more audio and climate functions, including a telephone-like set of buttons for the audio presets. The r-design model features additional aluminum trim, and handsome blue-faced gauges with white markings and red pointers. the cloth upholstery that comes standard is called kalix t-tech. It has the look of wetsuit material. Kalix has a higher quality appearance than most cloth, fitting somewhere between regular cloth and leather. The r-design upgrades to a striking combination of black flextech fabric with creme leather seating surfaces. Full leather upholstery is available in both models. Leather is a better choice for fending off dog hair. We found the quality of the interior materials excellent. The dash panel is made of a quality soft-touch material, and all the panels fit together with close, uniform gaps. the c30 is comfortable, though not as comfortable as the bigger, more expensive volvos. The driver's seat has enough manual adjustments to tailor a comfortable driving position and enough side bolstering to keep backsides planted in corners. Head restraints are now adjustable as well. The front seats have plenty of head room and good leg room, though very tall drivers might wish for more seat travel. The tilt/telescoping steering wheel helps the driver adjust for a comfortable and proper driving position. The steering wheel seemed big to us, though. visibility is generally good, though volvo's typically thick front pillars can restrict vision to the corners at intersections. Those same pillars add safety in a rollover accident. the audio system is a capable 160-watt am/fm/cd stereo with six speakers. The upgrade is a 650-watt unit with 10 dynaudio speakers and sirius satellite radio with a six-month subscription. A usb port for ipod or flash drive connectivity is available as an accessory. It allows customers to control their ipods through the radio. The high-end stereo can really crank, and we found the sound is clear even at high volume. the hdd-based navigation system comes with real time traffic with no monthly charge. interior storage consists of two cupholders located ahead of a console bin that is just big enough to hold cd cases. Additional storage can be found behind the center stack in a rubberized tray, but it's hard to access. Map pockets are located in the doors. the rear seats are fairly easy to access and offer decent room. The front seats tilt and slide forward to provide an open path to the rear seat, though it still requires passengers to twist and duck. Once inside, they sit back and into the seats. Rear-seat leg room is good unless the front seats are far back and toe room under the front seats is plentiful. Head room is sufficient for six footers, but tall riders m.
