The new Volvo C30 was recently introduced by Volvo. Looking at the current economy they are doing really well in selling these new models of C30. In England itself I have seen a massive increasement of C30 on the road from 2008 to 2010. Some have the normal C30 and some enjoy the sporty R Design. I have done few used car reviews but this is the first time I am writing about a Volvo car.

First ever Volvo C30 model was unveiled in Paris in 2006. Few people raised their eyebrows when Volvo revealed the new model saying it won’t do very well but it has taken off like a rocket in some parts of Europe. Many people say they are still not sure about the new Volvo. Many of my friends tell me why I drive a Volvo as they think its more older generation from 40 to 60. Volvo C30 nowadays is driven by many people from different ages; young and old. I have to say that I get far more attention on road now than when I was driving a smaller car than Volvo few months ago.

I don’t think I should tell you but I think its right the new Volvo C30 does drink a lot of petrol. I have a 1.6 litre R Design Sport C30 and to fill the whole tank it costs me around £40 to £50, which runs around 2 to 3 weeks depending on what you use it for. I drive a lot so I guess it will be expensive for me especially now that the petrol prices are not getting any cheaper. This is certainly one down side of the new Volvo C30 R Design other than this is a great drive.
