2011 The Volvo C30

Consumers looking for comfort over handling, though, will want to take a look at the C30. "The C30's longish wheelbase for a coupe made it a much better highway cruiser than canyon carver," notes CNET.What might be the C30’s biggest drawback is its price. The base C30’s starting price is more expensive than many of its class competitors and its price increases quickly with options.

However, the biggest changes in the new C30 R-Design, which makes its world debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, are hidden beneath the skin. In particular, the steering is more precise thanks to the installation of stiffer bushings while the lower steering ratio promises to offer faster response to steering wheel input.
