Swedish whip!

[Davidwheaty]

So I brought a Swedish whip.. Not got a pug anymore but will hopefully be getting one for a bit of French fun and keeping the Volvo as a daily, it's a blue Volvo C30, 2.0td 134bhp, great condition, 49k on the clock and full service history. Heres a picture of her...
Haven't got many as I only got it earlier and its dark out ahah.

Love these. Would love a R design one!

[Davidwheaty]

This apparently is an R-design but I can't decide...

[eskimogod]

yer that is a r design.. still get tempted by one of these remapped d5 tho naturally

Mate do it, this ones only a 2.0D but with a power flow exhaust. Keeping it how it is for a bit then its getting a K&N panel and remap. Its so nice to drive! Honestly feels so much better than a 306... But I still want one for some reason ahahah

[Dum-Dum]

Just a disguised focus, also isn't the 2.0 134bhp lump a 16v DW HDi lump?


That said I really have a soft spot for these especially the T5

[ConorTRG]

Very nice.

[Iceman299]

Really like these, until i see the rear!

Good choice! Get it mapped to about 175bhp! Really low mileage tbh.

I've got a D4 R Design

Yup, focus hdi lol. As above tbh, it's like volvo got as far back as the rear arches then someone slipped them a few mushrooms before they designed the boot. Lovely cars though, very nice place to be, effortless on the motorway.

Very nice!! Hopefully you'll have more luck with this lol.

Friend of mine has one of these in D5 2.4d guise, goes like absolute stink & the sound track is great on the D5. Still wouldn't have one though as they are very small!

I'd have a V50 D5 though, but then again there are much better cars out there..

Yeah that's the plan eventually!

I hope so!

Yeah I'm not the fondest of the boot but it may looked better tinted

Tbh I feel like there's just as much room if not more than in the 306.

Meh everyone whinges on about the boot, but when you realise that it's massive with the back seats down, I don't think it especially matters... How often do you need to carry something that won't fit in the boot, but you wouldn't have to put the back seats down for...

Meh, I love my V50, the compromises are made in the right place IMHO, yes it's hardly "sporting" but it steers a damned sight better than any A4 or Passat, not to mention the engine isn't a brick in a washing machine like any VAG stuff of the era, not got BMW tax to buy and right around the BMW age cam chain problems, parts are easy to come by and have very few documented problems... There's not many other cars I'd choose to drive large distances in... It's one of those cars that you drive and seems a bit bland, but when you have to live with it, it all clicks into place.

Live with it a few weeks and you'll begin to love it... I don't know many people who've bought one and decided they disliked it - in terms of the C30/S40/V50...

Very nice mate only thing that I don't like about these is the rear bumper on the non twin exit exhaust have a silly like bank instead of a different bumper.

yeah I dont have that issue..

[Pete]

Love these cars, the boots a decent size if you remove the parcel shelf, the wife's has been great only fault it's had so far is the passenger seat jamming in the forward position

[Shiny]

Love these! I even like the rear, I think it's what really sets it apart from most generic stuff that gets made
