Pros: What do you like about 2008 Volvo C30?
I love the way the car performs and how it looks.

It's sporty yet practical.

Everywhere I go people admire it and ask about. This car is 4 yrs old and it still gets attention.

It is also reliable and has had no maintenance issues. I recommend it highly.

I purchased it used at a great price.

The only problem is that I can't sell or trade it, if that is a problem. It also seems to be holding its value as well!

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Volvo C30?
I would make it with more standard options. I think it would be more desirable if you didn't have to add power seats, cruise control, blue tooth and climate control. Safety features should be standard not options! It seems inconsistent for Volvo a brand known for safety to charge extra for its latest safety features!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Volvo C30?
I love everything about this car! Base engine (2.4l 5 speed manual) has plently of power for this little bullet. Loads of pickup for passing, and cruises comfartably on long rides. Great visibility particularly through the all glass tail gate. A breeze to park in the smallest spaces. Smooth shifting, nice engine sound. Great seat position adjustments to get in just the right position.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Volvo C30?
Possible 4 door version? This would hamper it's good looks though.

2008 Volvo C30 Review:
My C30 is nimble and fun to drive. It's solid handling and effective traction control system allows it to chew up the road whatever the conditions. I put the Gislaved snow tire package on (from Volvo) and winter driving is a breeze. Solid body construction, loads of safety features. The Dynaudio sound system I opted for has incredible sound. Not the most cargo room, and only seating for 4 could compromise some people, but as I'm most often driving solo and have no kids, it's exactly what I was looking for. Quality, reliability, and performance with just the right amount of luxury at a great pricepoint make the C30 the best car buy I've ever made. My former cars I'm comparing to are : 1993 Toyota Tercel, 1997 BMW Z3, 1998 BMW 323is, 2004 Toyota Camry SE.
