    C30 T5 sport

    Just purchased a 07 c30 t5 sport,(my wifes new car!), used to have a S60R, but Iam back again with the volvo's, couldnt keep away, the c30 looks really good in its sport/r design trim, went for the auto version, just enjoy the auto driving, less hard work
    got one that looks like this, will get some photo's up, pick up car mid week, looking forward to the volvo t5 again


    cheers

    Looks cool - I like the punchiness of the smaller turbo.

    Agreed, but the wee turbo gets quite breathless above 5000 without all the mods on

    Hi Corvette Dave - you run a C30 around glasgow? I'll keep an eye out for you.

    Mine isn't too bad - get 30+ to the gallon most of the time - I drive like a granny tho for the most part.
