Test drove a Volvo C30 automatic today as a possible replacement of wife's HHR. Maybe because it was an automatic or maybe because it's got that same tin can feel of the Mazdaspeed 3.......anyway....very disappointed. Nothing seems to stack up to the solid feel of the Xfire.

 

Yeah, have to agree. I've been a Volvo fan for quite a while and still have my S40 Turbo which is a great car. But all of the different bodykits, "Custom Build Options" and dealer accessories available still cant change the flavor of that car from anything but vanilla. Drove one back when they were released and was far from blown away. Kind of a letdown.
