2011 Volvo C30 a "Top Safety Pick"

For 2011, the C30’s interior remains relatively unchanged, but reviewers are pleased with what Kelley Blue Book calls “a Swedish-modern sense of understatement.” Rear passengers will find comfort in individual bucket seats, a feature that differs from most compact hatchbacks’ bench-style back seat

The interior of the vehicle is chic and modern with loads of options. We did notice that the steering wheel was a bit large for a sporty car. Generally, we prefer the feel of a smaller wheel, but the standard tilt control allows for more room for the larger driver and the option exists for a walnut steering wheel catering to the race car purist. But even for the big guy, there are enough standard adjustments to make almost anyone feel comfortable. The C30 comes with a standard Volvo floating center console, which helps add interest to the interior of the vehicle.

the Volvo C70 Finally coming

One such car is the Volvo C70. This vehicle is a four-seater coupe/convertible which is expected to set a trend for other car manufacturers to follow shortly. The current convertible model from the Swedish manufacturer is owned by the Ford Motor Company. It is actually based on the Volvo S40 sedan but the convertible has a wider track and holds better looks. But just like all other Volvo models, both are safety features rich and have high performance levels.

2011 is going to be an exciting year for upscale midsize cars. That’s because Volvo is not the only automaker to update its hardtop convertible offering. Its competition – the BMW 3-series, Infiniti G37 and Lexus IS C – has taken the opportunity to give their folding steel roof droptops a fresh look too.

Volvo's done a good job of tuning out turbo lag, as the T5 engine's 236 pound-feet of torque comes on as early as 1,500rpm. Though the Volvo doesn't blow you away with its power--an enthusiast's car it is not--it does feel confident during freeway passing maneuvers and, as indicated above, back-road blasts.
