Bye Bye Clio, Hello Volvo!!

[perch_2000_uk]

Hey guys, as you may have seen from a previous post. the clio has now gone.

I have just bought a Volvo C30 r-design. I love it Not saying Clios are crap or anything but it drives loooooads better than the clio.

Never been so chuffed to spend so much money! lol anyway heres a pic of it. I will get more when the snow has gone and i have cleaned it

The day it got stuck in the middle of the car park!

Nice! Ive always liked the look of these cars. What engine does it have? ie. power compared to a clio?

 

[iimushroomzii]

its only 100bhp where as the 1.6 clio i had was 110. Obviously its alot heavier too but its not tooo sluggish.

Can't beat heated leather seats in this weather though

im not siure what the t5 has but i think thats what your thinking of? i think mines the same as the t5 but with out the 2nd exhuast and the obvious engine

Thought these were hideous at first but they are beginning to grow on me. Heated leather seats ftw! Makes you feel like you've got diarrhoea dribbling down your legs haha.

 

[perch_2000_uk]

03 1.6 Dynamique.

 

[jesus]

Nice upgrade

[perch_2000_uk]

No worries. I mean exterior wise I think they are the same? They certainly look it!!!

 

[Alastair.]

ive always been a fan of the volvos, dad had a yellow t5r estate

 

[Ian_182]

I didnt think i'd like these but i saw one on the road the other day and it looked really nice.

 

[aucky]

LOVE these

 

[SC03OTT]

Love it! I'm currently saving for one myself. Going to start looking around June/July. I fancy the 2.0D though. The 1.6, 1.8 and 1.6D all seem a bit weak to me tbh.

They look great in white. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

 

[.GAZ.]

me likes!

 

[Mark One]

heavily under-rated cars.

Really like them
Still though......1.6??

 

[R20 CWH]

bit on the slow side, but still nice

 

[Gary172cup]

Really like these new shape volvos smart,i like them,served my time on them late 90,s.

 

[Englebert]

I think they look really cool, nice one.

 

[Mells]

I really like these.

Toss up between one of these (well, the C30 T5) and a R26 as the next car.

 

[superbenji88]

One of only a few new cars that i love!
