I tested both the Mini Cooper and Volvo C30. The C30, by far, is the most comfortable and easy to find a great driving position. Driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco without any back or shoulder fatigue! see full Volvo C30 review |

Nice flat torque curve. You can talk HP all day long, but it is torque that gets you moving and keeps you going. Pulls well at low RPMs and holds it until 5000 RPM. Handles the power very very well. see full Volvo C30 review |

The I-5 Turbo is a sweet little engine that packs some descent performance for a small car. The car is sporty but no pocket rocket either. A nice balance for performance and daily piratical driving needs. see full Volvo C30 review |

The powerband is broad and lots of low end torque . No need to race the engine to cruise around local roads. 6speed tranny is great on the highways. see full Volvo C30 review |

For a starting price in the low 20s, you get the Volvo T5 engine found in higher priced S40 model. The 230 hp makes this little car flry. see full Volvo C30 review |
