The extra cylinder of the I5 really showed face on the highway...

Thank you derf.
Also, I should have mentioned... the base performance stereo in this car... OMG!! The most amazing stereo system I've ever heard in a manufacture car. It had bass like you would think it had a 12" sub in the trunk. And I will order mine with their upgraded premium sound system... WOW. |

So are you definitely going to do this? Do you have enough vacation time stored up?
Not sure I'm a fan of the Volvo's styling, so I'm thinking about either a new base-model GTI, or a 2-3 yr old 328i. Either way lookin at about $24K or so. Last edited by Homeslice; 05-29-2011 at 03:25 PM.. |

Vac time won't be an issue. I have 3 weeks still. And after summer would work fine as far as work load. I think it takes 3 months from time of deposit till your car is ready.
Homeslice. Have you drove either? I was 90% sure I would want the gti over the c30r but seeing and driving changed that. |

I would pick the c30 any day over the GTI and I have driven both. More power and I like the design a lot more.

Some people can't get by the minimalistic design to the interior. But it's a Swedish thing... hell it's a european thing even compared to american cars. The VW interiors are the same way... very plain compared to american cars.

I've driven the GTI, but not the Volvo. I did read what Car & Driver said about it, and they said they'd actually prefer the GTI. Also note what they said about the transmission choice.
