The 2012 Volvo C30 is a stylish compact two-door hatchback, part of its first and only generation in the U.S. market. It came in two main trims: the T5 and the sportier R-Design. Both featured a turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine, producing an impressive 227 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque, paired with a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. Despite its compact exterior, the C30 offered a comfortable cabin loaded with superior quality materials and an impressive list of standard features including Bluetooth, a USB/iPod interface, and an HD radio. It also had Volvo's trademark commitment to safety, including standard stability control, antilock disc brakes, and full-length curtain-type airbags.
