Stylish styling
A lot of what's going right with the C30 is just plain style. Not too long ago that would have been a weird thing to say about a Volvo. In some respects, it really did remind me of a more comfortable and livable Mini Cooper: not quite as quirky and easier to be with long-term.
From the front, it looks a lot like Volvo's S40 sedan, but catch it from the side or back, and there's no question this is something different. The full glass tailgate gives the car a wide-open look.
The top-line version features contrasting body-cladding around the underside. "Cladding" may sound ugly, but it gives the car a slick, two-tone look that comes off as futuristic instead of retro.
