New car for me.?.?. UPDATED 2012 Volvo C30 R-design

[Gas Man]

I know rite!! But how does it compare to the GTI or Golf R??

It's right in the middle for power and weight between the 2 VWs. More power than the GTI and 150# heavier.

Perhaps... is the Volvo better to my age (32) than the VW?? IDK

I like them because there aren't many S30's on the road. Unique car.

Normally I'd say yes, but these days it's a tough call.

Find some insight on there and see if there is anything to avoid.

Will check but that is going to happen with any car.

I know... I know... but still. Who that watches that will actually know the car.

The GTI is a better car...but let's face it, you're gonna drive it like a pussy anyway so might as well get the Volvo....Though the Volvo is kinda of a chick car.
