The fast and the sometimes furious by An MSN Autos Consumer on 10/27/2008. Trim: 2008 Volvo C30 T5 Version 1.0, Owned less than 1 year.

Pros: Fun car to drive, very fast and jumps off the start. On front wheel drives it is rare one can squeel the tires, in this one you can. Very sleek and sporty look, I added the hood scoop and spoiler for a reasonable price. Adding these two items really upgraded the look of the vehicle.

Cons: Not many dislikes, it is a little loose during some turns. Trying to find the right tire pressure has proved to be challenging. I expected a little more out of the gas mileage.

Overall review: Excellent ride, very fun car. I have a family of 4 and this car works just fine. If you enjoy a car that looks like something out of the Fast and The Furious, you will like this car. If you are looking for grandmas car, this is not it!
