    Default 2011 Volvo C30 T5 R Design v.yourgirlfriendwantsthis









    Quote Originally Posted by Volvo
    The biggest changes in the new Volvo C30 T5 R-Design are actually hidden beneath the skin. While the car's extroverted body kit and design cues are easy to see, it is the chassis and the steering that have been the main focus of attention. The aim is to create a sporty driving experience and a sophisticated feeling of comfort.

    The R-Design chassis has been modified in several areas. Stiffer bushings allow for more precise steering. The steering ratio is lower, giving 10 percent faster response to driver input. Spring stiffness has been increased by 30 percent in order to better maintain the C30 T5 R-Design's poise during enthusiastic driving. The mono-tube dampers are stiffer and build up pressure much more quickly. The roll stabilizers are stiffer to reduce any leaning tendency when taking corners.

    The new sport chassis has made the C30 R-Design a better-balanced and more agile car. Road contact is more distinct and feedback from the wheels is faster and clearer, promoting a more alert feeling while driving.

    The most noticeable design change is an all-new body kit featuring a redesigned front and rear. The body kit is monochromatic, giving a visual impression that the car has been lowered by much more than the actual 10 mm reduction in ride height. The new C30 R-Design is also equipped with 18-inch "Midir" diamond cut alloy wheels, just like the rest of the R-Design range. The interior is now available with dramatic new black upholstery as an alternative.

    That's the lead vampire from a recent vampire movie. He drives a C30 in said movie.

    After the recent "Green" movement it is Ok to drive said Fit or Prius, however when you purchase one it puts you on a watch list for later infractions.

    That car is hideous. Every Volvo is..except the S60 & S70R, but then the engine design is shitty. Too bad Volvo can't go bankrupt.

    I'm sorry your cars are inferior to mine. Please, don't make me bash on you like my boi did and make you leave a thread crying.

    Fucking whiney bitch. If you knew anything about cars, like I do, you could open your brain up. But you are a closed minded prick...driving a piece of shit like that....you really shouldn't be.

    internet battles are so entertaining... especially from two dudes that have no idea how to properly do it. ugh, if you must know you guys have to sword fight by picking at each others join data and rep points! duhhh...

    As for the Volvo, it's pretty cool I guess.
