VOLVO C30 (2007-09) 3DR SPORTS COUPE 1.6 100 R DESIGN SPORT
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLVO C30 (2007-09) 3DR SPORTS COUPE 1.6 100 R DESIGN SPORT is a compact, three-door hatchback with coupe-inspired styling, rather than a saloon. In the UK it sits in the premium small-car class, offering an alternative to hatchbacks and rivals such as the Audi A3 and BMW 1 Series.
Its R Design Sport trim gives this C30 a sportier look, while the 1.6-litre petrol engine and manageable size suit commuting, town trips and occasional longer journeys. It is best for singles, couples or small households wanting a stylish used car; the three-door layout is less convenient for rear-seat access.
