Stylish appeal of the pint-size Swede: Volvo's compact C30 is a great-looking alternative three-door option

摘要

The Volvo C30 isn't just a used car; it's an ex-car. Volvo may have killed it off, but it remains a stylish three-door hatchback. It's a distinctive alternative to a BMW 1-series coupe, a Volkswagen Scirocco or even a Mercedes-Benz C-class coupe, and the little Swede is only going to get cheaper. Prices are now below the psychological ￡5000 barrier, so it's a great time to start looking for a C30 to suit your lifestyle - as long as that lifestyle doesn't involve too many passengers or much luggage.
