Volvo C30 2.4i / T5

Volvo follows in the steps of other luxury brands by bringing a compact, more affordable offering to market here with its C30 hatchback. With room for four in a Scandinavian-styled interior, a funky rear hatch design and lots of versatility, the C30 also has some surprises lurking under its sheetmetal. The T5 produces lots of turbo punch with 216 hp and a sporty 6-speed manual transmission, while traction control and a multitude of airbags are standard.
