What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2012 Volvo C30

2012 Volvo C30 Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
2011	2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Excellent support for very long drives. Passengers in the rear say the same. see full Volvo C30 review
