From the moment the unique C30 premium sport compact appeared on the street, it created love-at-first-sight emotion among a new generation of Volvo buyers. The attraction remains strong for 2010 as the youthful C30 continues to capture the hearts and minds of those who are smitten with its sensational good looks, dynamic performance and excellent value. Our Silver Metalic C30 is equiped with rain sensor wipers and headlight washers, new standard 17-inch "Spider" alloy wheels. To the extensive list of standard features, the Premier trim adds a power glass sunroof and soft loadcover. The C30 T5 also receives aluminum dash inlays and an optional Climate Package Motivation for the C30 T5 continues to be supplied by a 2.5-liter turbocharged 5-cylinder engine that generates 227 horsepower coupled to a five-speed "Geartronic" automatic with "Auto-stick" function. Thanks to its compact size and clever design, the Volvo C30 is as fun to drive as it is to admire. Its generous front and rear tracks and a relatively long wheelbase contribute to inspiring and stable driving characteristics. The chassis, with MacPherson front suspension and multilink rear, is optimized to provide outstanding control and precise response to the driver's inputs. Volvo endows the C30 T5 with a generous roster of standard equipment. The list includes standard Dynamic Stability and Traction Control (DSTC), Volvo's Side Impact Protection System (SIPS) and Whiplash Protection Seating System (WHIPS), leather gearshift knob with aluminum inlay, cruise control, a high performance 160-watt audio system with eight speakers, The C30 features Volvo's patented front structure. Divided into zones, it incorporates different deformation properties with the outer zones accounting for most of the deformation in a frontal collision. The more the collision forces approach the passenger compartment, the less the material is deformed. To ensure that each zone has the right characteristics, the quality of the steel has been varied. Four different types of steel are used. Apart from normal body steel, three different grades of high-strength steel are used. Different steel grades also are used in the rear to help protect occupants in the event of a rear-end collision.
