This is a 2012 Volvo C30 R-Design in electric silver metallic with the two-tone leather/Flextech upholstery in black and calcite colors.   Absolutely gorgeous.    It has 12,608 miles, has never been in an accident, and I have treated it very well.      It has absolutely zero mechanical issues and drives like an absolute dream.   The seats are extraordinarily comfortable, the driving position perfect, with excellent visibility.   

I am selling because my family is growing and we need more room for kids.       Very hard to let it go, because we adore the car.    

It has all the bells and whistles:

R-design package with special wheels, tires, sport seats, interior accents, ground effects and body treatments, sport tuned suspension, dual sport exhaust system, floormats, and more. 
Sirius Satellite Radio
Power moonroof 
Bluetooth 
USB input
Aux input 
A fantastic sounding stock stereo with steering-wheel mounted audio controls 
Tire pressure monitor 
Keyless entry and keyless starting 
Traction control 
Power driver and passenger seats with lumbar adjustments 
6 speed auto with manual shifting
Cruise control 
Automatic headlights with daytime running lights 
Airbags everywhere 
Power everything 

The Polestar upgrade cost me $1350 at the dealer.    It is an engine control unit upgrade that Volvo offers.   It provides 250 horsepower and 273 lb.- ft. of torque, up 23 and 37 respectively from stock .  This upgrade was performed at the dealer where I purchased the car (Rusnak Volvo in Pasadena) and is fully warranted.     A great thing about it is that it doesn't ding the fuel economy numbers at all.      I was really happy with this upgrade, and noticed a difference right away when it was installed.   This car is wonderfully powerful.   

It has a 3 inch scratch on the driver door, and edge of the front air dam has two scrapes on the bottom edge from parking or tall driveways that I went up.    Apparently many C30 owners get these, and the bottom piece is replaceable if the cosmetics bother you.      Otherwise, the car is immaculate, with zero issues and zero surprises.   I have all the service records and have only taken it to the excellent service department at Rusnak since I purchased it new about a year and a half ago.  I have kept it waxed and detailed all the time, and have likewise babied the interior with excellent leather conditioning and cleaning products that leave no residue or smell. 

The other little extra that it has is a ProClip mount for your smartphone.   You need to purchase the secondary piece that is specific to your phone, but the mount is nice to have there and is specific to the C30.     
3 day auction--if it doesn't sell I will be trading it in on wednesday.  Local Pick-Up only.   Cashiers check or cash within 3 days.

Volvo studying test of electric roads in Sweden

Tue, 27 May 2014

Volvo already announced the results of a study of wireless charging using a stationary C30, and now it's embarking on a more ambitious study of wireless charging involving moving city buses. Next year, in conjunction with the Swedish Transport Association, Volvo will build a section of electric road up to 500 meters long that would use inductive charging to refill the batteries while the bus drives over it.
Right now, the company's Hyper Bus diesel hybrid has to stop to plug in and charge at the end of its route. The company is looking for a way to keep buses in service while being able to run on electric power for greater lengths of time. The new line used for the study will be called ElectriCity, and will come online in central Gothenburg sometime in 2015. There's a press release below with more information.

This is Volvo's awesome S60 V8 Supercar entry [w/video]

Sat, 15 Feb 2014

Australian auto news has been dire for the last several months with all three automakers that build there announcing they would stop production within the next three years. But Volvo is providing a shot of excitement with the unveiling of its new S60 racecar for the upcoming season of the Australian V8 Supercar series.
The Volvo S60 racecar will use a 5.0-liter, naturally aspirated V8 based on Volvo's B8444S production engine that will be tuned to produce roughly 650 horsepower on E85 ethanol. Power will get to the ground via a six-speed sequential transmission, and it will be able to reach 62 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 185. All cars in the series use common parts for the chassis, transaxle, and rear suspension.
Volvo's Polestar performance arm will campaign two of the S60 racers this season. While Volvo might seem like an odd inclusion into Australian racing, it actually has quite a successful history. It won the 1986 Australian Touring Car Championship in a 240 and won the Bathhurst 1000 race in 1998 in an S40. Polestar is not new to racing either, having been racing Volvos around the world since 1996.

Volvo working to allow groceries delivered to your car, even when you aren't there

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Volvo cites research showing that 60 percent of online shoppers had problems with their deliveries in 2013, and that missed first deliveries cost the industry roughly one billion euros ($1.37B US) in re-delivery costs, as impetus for its "Roam Delivery Service" that delivers packages to your car. The service uses Volvo On Call and Sensus Connect car-connectivity and telematics apps already installed in vehicles, and a digital key with a timed window of operation.
The car owner is notified if delivery to or pickup from the car would be the best option, which they then have the option to approve or decline. If approved, the position of the vehicle is sent to the delivery driver, as well as a digital key that can open the car. Once the delivery has been made, the owner is notified and the digital key is erased, leaving only a time stamp to record when the car was opened and then locked.
The technology will be shown to the public at the Mobile World Congress later this month. There's a video and a press release below with more on the details.
