2008 Volvo C30 Version 1. Nice Daily Driver With Lots Of Recent Maintenance on 2040-cars
Huntington, West Virginia, United States
|
Listing our 2008 Volvo C30 coupe. We're the third owners and have had the car for approximately two years now. The car was original a Volvo corporate lease vehicle for one of their executives. Following that it was purchased by a pharmaceutical sales rep who put the majority of the mileage on the car. We purchased the vehicle with just over 90k miles on it and it has been a reliable daily driver ever since. Since we've purchased we've had the following service/parts replaced:
-New manual transmission - came out of a car with 26k miles on it (with receipt). Was installed by the local Volvo dealer along with a new clutch.
-New passenger side wheel bearing
-Brand new tires - less than 3k miles on them
-Two new wheels - noticed a small shimmy so we purchased OEM replacements from Volvo
-New floor mats/rear trunk mat/rear trunk cover - all from Volvo
-New R design pedals - to replace worn original rubber pieces
-A/C recharged - blows cold
-Passenger tail light replaced - original had a deep scratch on it
-Paintless dent removal - to remove door dings. This was done about 18 months ago and despite our best efforts there are two door dings currently. Still very good for the mileage/year
-Installed rear bumper protector - helps prevent scratches while loading/unloading trunk
-New center armrest - original had small tear
-All fluids (oil/coolant) replaced
Given the age and mileage there are a few negatives. They are as follow:
-Small crack in front grille - hard to see but wanted to point it out
-Few scratches/dings in paint - not bad but the car has over 100k miles on it so to be expected
-Two wheels have curb rash
-Interior seat wear - driver seat has minor bolster wear and small tear in bottom seat cover. Unfortunately this is common with the T-tec fabric
Other than that I can't think of anything significant to add. The car runs/drives just fine. We use it to commute to work and for the occasional road trip where it performs flawlessly.

Volvo's Geneva-bound concept wagon looks sexy in a raincoat
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Volvo is set to complete its concept car trilogy at the next month's Geneva Motor Show with the debut of its Concept Estate, the followup to its Concept Coupe from the Frankfurt Motor Show and Concept XC Coupe from the Detroit Auto Show. We've been looking forward to its Swiss debut, and now some teaser images of the Concept Estate have been uncovered... on the website of a raincoat seller?
Yes, Swedish raincoat maker Stutterheim has apparently been commissioned by Volvo to build a high-quality car cover for its Geneva concept, and the fabricator's website shows off some of the details of the long-roofed design study. From what we can see, it looks like the Concept Estate is more shooting brake than traditional wagon. Also, it's brown. So basically, Volvo has built the ultimate car for auto journalists.
Joking aside, the images show off more than a few of the design traits we've seen on Volvo's two previous concept cars. A wide, rectangular grille and lowercase-B-shaped taillights are both noticeable in these teasers, but we can't see much more than that.
Jaguar turns down offers to join V8 Supercars, questions AMG, Volvo participation
Thu, 27 Jun 2013Rumors have swirled in recent weeks that Jaguar may be the next manufacturer to join the V8 Supercars racing series, made popular in Australia but now well-known in other parts of the world as well. Sadly, Jag's participation is not to be. In fact, it would be "insane," according to Jaguar Land Rover Asia Pacific Managing Director David Blackhall, for it to accept either of the two offers it has received to bring Jaguar into V8 Supercars.
Not only is Jaguar not interested in entering V8 Supercars, says Blackhall, it also fails to understand the recent entries from AMG and Volvo. "I don't know what it does for AMG to get flogged by a V8 Commodore week after week, but it's their brand, their issue. And the same thing will happen to Volvo to be honest."
Judging by Blackhall's statements to motoring.com.au, after not-so-serious consideration, the automaker decided the monetary commitment it would take to compete for wins would be more than any potential exposure would be worth, despite the fact that Jaguar has a 5.0-liter V8 to go along with what would seem to be a tailor-made rear-wheel-drive chassis. For what it's worth, one offer would have had Jaguar putting its name across an engine made by someone else, an option that was flatly turned down.
Volvo C30 Polestar Concept hits the 'Ring
Mon, 05 Aug 2013It's been over three years since the Volvo C30 Polestar Concept was unveiled, driven by journalists and, as it turns out, lapped around the Nürburgring with Scandinavian Touring Car Championship driver Robert Dahlgren behind the wheel. For whatever reason, the video of the 'Ring track session was only published by the tuning company yesterday. (Another discrepancy: Did Polestar's C30 lose 46 horsepower somewhere along the line? Because the video states that it has 405 hp, while the company's website quotes 451 hp...)
Whatever the case, the tuned Volvo is a beast, much more so than the similar-looking, 250-hp 2013 Volvo C30 Polestar Limited Edition that was sold last year. With 451 hp (sounds better than 405 hp, doesn't it?), all-wheel drive, limited-slip differentials front and rear and Öhlins dampers, the Polestar Concept checks all of the right boxes for us.
For some reason, the video, which you can watch below, seems a bit vanilla to us. Perhaps the overly dramatic music takes away from the action and the beautiful sounds of the turbocharged five-cylinder engine?
