We really enjoyed the enjoyed our time with Volvo’s hot hatch, the C30, when we reviewed it at the beginning of the year, and the fun three-door soldiers on into 2013 with a few minor changes.
2013 sees the C30, along with the rest of the Volvo line, get standard rain sensing wipers and headlight washers. The rims have been changed to a 17-inch “Spider” design. There are two new exterior colors as well, Titanium Grey Metallic and Electric Silver Metallic.
Thanks to the use of full synthetic motor oil, the service interval has been lengthened to 10,000 miles/12 months vs the previous cars 7,500 mile limit.
Pricing starts at $25,500 for base C30 T5 with the highest trim R-Design Platinum ringing in at $32,850. Destination fees for the C30 come to $895.
