Ihi,
I am wondering how fun are C30’s tp drive?
How fast is the steering, turning circle? Is it agile in traffic? Does it have a good mid-range punch? (I don’t need blistering acceleration or high top speed)
Thank you for any and all insights.

    The C30/S40/V50 has the same 5 cylinder engine as other Volvos of the era, but it's smaller, has a shorter wheelbase, and (I assume) weighs the least. Considering that, it's a fair assumption that the C30 will be more agile and responsive in turning and acceleration when compared to other Volvos excluding the S60R/V70R.

    If you're looking for all of those qualities in a Volvo, just make sure you get a turbocharged model.
