The Volvo C30 is based on the same platform as the S40 and the V50. A key difference though is that the C30 is 8.8 inches shorter giving a firm and agile ride. This is most likely the best handling car in the Volvo line up. With the standard six speed transmission the C30 this mean machine can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 6.2 seconds.
