my step mom has a red one. omg so much fun to drive! intense stuff. we got it like right when it came out

Saw a 135i last week going to one of my classes, the guy driving it looked like a douche.
But i saw this one today, i was intrigued.
This one is reasonably priced too.

How can you post a thread like this without adding a picture? It boggles the mind.

You're really surprised at that?
it took 4 minutes for someone to post one for me... Besides its not that hard to type it into google images. Most browsers have a google search in them already.

I wouldn't bother, 1 series ftw. Although if I had the money, I'd get an E28 M5 in perfect condition.

my thoughts exactly... amen to that!

While I was looking to buy a new car, I test drove a C30. I really liked it. They had the perfect one (one I was looking for) in the showroom...5 spd, black, and the most stripped down one.

So my thoughts on the auto that I was able to test drive. Really liked it, handled pretty well and the power is very nice. Now the downsides....the big gripe about them is the options bullshit. Just to get cruise (should be standard) is a 200 or so "customization" fee plus the cruise option. 500-600 for cruise from the factory is pretty dumb.

Other than that I really like it, if I remember correctly it has paddle shifting and was alittle weird to not push in a clutch. I ended up getting a civic. More options, still safe and 17 instead of 22g's

Right after I test drove the C30, I test drove the GTI and the rabbit. GTI felt like it got up and went faster but the C30 had "smooth" power...rabbit no comparision obviously.

My brother got an 08 vtech civic a year ago, and its probably one of the best investments, great gas mileage as long as you dont drive like a badass. He just wanted the full power of a honda, he would actually like to remove the vtech sticker on the side. Either way his parts arent going to bone him once it starts to break down, if it does.

VTEC.... I can't believe to this day some people still can't spell it right, on a car forum too. :nice:

Get a VW GTI. it was one of the 10 best cars of the year for a reason! all the car mags say the Volvo is disappointing to drive.

heres my pops GTI with my buddies 2.5

[theox69]

i really like the front of the car quite a bit, but jesus the back is terrible.



i agree the 1-series hatchback overall looks better than the c30, but its mainly because the back of the volvo is

+1

And for more volvo hotness:



I hear they handle and accelerate like camrys though.

It's really great to see there are more Volvo fans on the site...
I love Volvo's -- but I have to say...my mother's S70 understeers like a bitchhhh

Yeah, I have yet to drive a DSG-equipped GTI yet, but I hear the MkV's are a boatload of fun. If not a MkV GTI, then a four-door Rabbit 2.5 is another formidable contender. I can attest, that 2.5 liter 5-cylinder sounds buttery smooth, it makes such a good noise right out of the box.
