| 2012 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD |
The front seats are wonderful. I tend to get stiff and sore when I sit too long in a car, especially my old VW GTI and our other VW Passat wagon. These seats in the C30 are very comfortable and I felt good getting out after a long drive. see full Volvo C30 review |

Excellent support for very long drives. Passengers in the rear say the same. see full Volvo C30 review |

Large trunk space seems to sacrifise rear seat area. see full Chevrolet Impala review |

When the drivers seat is all the way back there is little rear seat legroom for tall folks. see full Chevrolet Impala review |
