2009 Volvo C30 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
If you find yourself driving behind a Volvo C30, you might get an obscure flashback to Roger Moore in “The Saint.” Don’t worry, it’s not a bad flashback to the ’60s - it’s because Volvo used its old P1800 model as an inspiration for the new C30. The unique all-glass rear hatch design is a bold choice that lets the C30 stand out on the streets. This is Volvo’s lowest priced vehicle, starting at $22,950, and it represents the company’s move to capture the younger urban market, which is not as affluent as their current customer base.
The C30 is powered by the Volvo T5, an inline five-cylinder turbocharged engine, which achieves 227 hp. The two transmission options are a five-speed automatic and a six-speed manual, both of which are front-wheel drive. For mileage, the automatic is rated at 19/27 mpg and the manual rates 19/28 mpg (city/highway).
The rear section of the C30 is very distinct, presenting two foldable bucket seats instead of a traditional bench seat for three, as is common in most hatchbacks. To get the C30's price down to where it is, Volvo stripped it to its essentials, and luxuries and accessories will cost extra. For example, cruise control will cost you $185. Reviews have shown that the C30 reveals itself as the most fun vehicle to drive in the entire Volvo fleet, and despite its simplicity, delivers an exciting and enjoyable ride.
For safety, the C30 doesn’t skimp. The structure and chassis itself are built low and designed to protect the passenger during a collision. Standard are antilock brakes, electronic stability control, and features that reduce the impact of whiplash from a rear collision. The front has dual airbags, and both front and rear passengers are protected by head and torso side curtain bags.

Simple features which I like. I would like for it to have cruise control, I can live without it. I’m 6’5” 350 pounds and I fit better in this car than I do in any Honda, Nissan, and better than some SUVs. It is really fun to drive.Feb 10, 2024

Having three previous Volvos I still love the look and drivability of the car. Reading reviews I still find it to remain quirky . Decided against buying one at this time. Reliability is still questionable.Sep 19, 2023

Unique European look, reliable but not at all boring. The T5 is zippy, too!Jan 13, 2022

Overall, an awesome car. It looks great, and drives very well. Best of all, it is a Volvo, so it will be very safe. The build quality is very good and the 5 year maintenance plan keeps costs low, too. Overall, I love this car.Oct 29, 2012

By far the best car I have ever owned. There is nothing negative
for me to report except the factory tires got wore out at 24,000
miles.The six speed manual is excellent and I get an average
of32 to35mpg upto 45mpg..... by coasting in neutral... No
repairs, squeks,very fun & comfortable to drive long distance.
Superb curve handler. People constantly comment on the car
and how much they like it. Free oil change by volvo to 30,000
miles. Back seats very comfortable...".well done VOLVO"...

It peppy, solid with heavy build and solid doors for excellent side-impact safety. Gas mileage is good and it could be cheaper but you get what you pay for. Its fun to drive and the 5-speed on the 2.4i is very smooth and easy to use. Just wished it wasn't so buffered to give it that "luxury" feel. A little more growl would really set it off, but a lil aftermarket work could easy get that doneAug 15, 2009

For its engine size appeal this car is generally quick. You feel tight and solid sitting in it and the simplicity of Swedish, nothing as complicated as the box from Germany. Many features hidden and yet when you found them they are very useful. The power, however, is enough when transporting just yourself, oh well, when comparing to the SL500(2003) I've driven. However, the true tone and passion of this car is the character. Volvo cars are always appearing in romantic movies. It's the character of mankind, emotions and modestness and yet it's quality.Aug 11, 2009

Amazing Grip, its like a fraking cat and if you tune up the car a bit and make the wheels wider (225 is ebough) it will be more than amazing. Bottom line, its a good for every day and if you like you can tune it a bit.Jul 05, 2009
