As a C30 owner I am so glad to see you drive a C30 on the channel! I love mine dearly and its such a fun car to drive.

I almost cried because I had a volvo v50 T5 with the exact same transmission except it was AWD. It was an amazing car and I really miss it every day. I unfortunately got into a pretty serious wreck with it due to poor road design/poor reaction timing on my part. Learned a lesson that day, that was still the best vehicle I have ever owned.

glad you're A-okay! volvo prob saved your life! yea I wish Volvo would bring back their inline 5 and 6 motors.... it would be amazing

What a rare Car nowadays. Was looking for one here in Germany, but theres only one c30 with an T5 Engine in it. My Mother had an Volvo V70 R Design in Blue. Also an 5 Cylinder Car. It was lovely to hear that engine Roarr up 🥰❤

I always loved these C30s, but never quite enough to own one. And I like that sticker on the rear window!

2012 C30 owner here! I love this!

That made me want to buy this car, the interior also looks so good without any modern screens.

The T5 is definitely one of the best engines produced even if it isn’t the most powerful and has its problems it’s just iconic❤

About the giant key fob in the dash - there is an accessory part that allows you to keep your keys in your pocket and just turn a little handle. It is called a Volvo C30 or C70 Starter Key with part number 31268615. I had a 2010 C70 that came with one, and it was a dream compared to having all my keys dangling in the dash. Definitely worth the $30 to $40 for one.

My first car was a $500 2008 S40 2.4i with a 5 speed. Car had 201,000 miles on it with a bad O2 sensor and broken TPMS sensors and no AC. Drove it for another 40k miles before the engine developed rod knock but man I loved that thing. The NA 5 cylinder had such a unique sound to it. Uncles boss was very wealthy and was gonna junk it but figured he could sell it to a young guy for his first car. Sold it to me for the junk price will never forget that thing!

I’ve had my C30 for almost 12 years now was my first car and will forever be my baby. Timeless design.

From a Focus SVT to a Volvo C30 T5. Yup, that makes a ton of sense haha. Current Focus SVT owner myself, and I know a ton of other MK1 owners who also are eyeing up C30's too.

My daily is an 850. FWD, 5 speed manual. Seriously good in snow. Only issue are other drivers who haven't a clue how to drive in bad weather.

Oh hey I know that car! Best birthday present ever! 🎉🎁🎂🥳

No way!!! Happy Birthday Will Long!

my parents had one of these back in the day and a really underrated feature was that for a 2 door those back seats were amazingly comfortable. They didn't adjust or anything but way better than most :)

LOVE this scenery. Always dig the snow drives.

Route 40 is one of my favorite roads that's close to me. I typically drive it in the summer so it was cool to see it covered in snow.

Thanks for sharing Tedward! Seeing this inspired me to brave the snowstorm here and go on a just for fun snow drive in my XC90 V8.

Wow!!! I drove a C30 as my daily for over 10 years! Cute, very cute, and VERY well built car. Pity mine was not a T5, but a somewhat slower, yet thirsty, 1.6L manual petrol. My dogs LOVED the airy glass-hatch!

Thanks so much for driving this one!!

Love the Volvo C30. Such a quick well handling car

I got a 2011 R-line fully loaded. With keyless go and articulating headlights! It’s a beautiful car and I love it but it’s an automatic! I still love it. Oh, thanks for doing the manual transmission.

Very beautiful weather ❤

Such a cool video, I’ve had a 2008 c30 for a little under 2 years and I love it

Future classic, nice. It's great see this kind of volvo's great design.

C30 T5 AWD would be pretty sweet.

First: I love your snow driving videos. Second: Since it was beat into me when i worked at a tire shop, it's "Winter" tires. Third: I am mad jealous of all the snow you have. Ive been waiting for some good snow driving for years now.

One of my favorite cars. Massive volvo fan

Love the snow content. I took my Gladiator out in its first snow here in Central Mass and it was AWESOME!

Ive been missing these videos!

my same opinions on snow tires, bending the traffic rules in snow and people who run /jog in the snow. after 4 hours of snow removal did some donuts in my mother inlaws forester, so much fun. i could imagine how it would be with proper snow tires just awesome. great video of an cool oddball volvo

LOVE THESE -- always wanted one in high school

I miss the days of 5cyl Volvos. My mom had an S60, I had an XC70, they were awesome cars! Great video as always!!! Having other gay car aficionados makes me happy!

@@TedwardDrives We need a Volvo 5 cyl sing, the sound just doesnt fit with the car but its great. The slower the 5 cyl the better, full race noise and still 0-60 in 10 sec

Weird coincidence - I've been looking at these recently and watching videos just last night!!!

I used to drive my 2005 SRT-4 in Ohio snow on its factory BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW *SUMMER ONLY* tires. And when I say used to, I mean I did precisely once. Even just crawling along at like 5MPH, it would slide to the right due to the drainage angle of the roadways. Taking off with no throttle would spin them, looking at the break pedal would lock them. I'd always just had all seasons before that car, and all seasons were challenging in the snow on sport compact cars, but doable. That first snow in the SRT-4 was when I learned that summer tires REALLY mean summer tires. I got some new rims and threw on some thicker walled snow tires, and it became fun in the snow.

snow content is always appreciated,, :O

Had one a while, was very fun to drive definitely a nice little daily with the 6 speed.

It's a great car. I learned there's actually a company called Bluepower that makes a (relatively expensive) center console replacement that looks exactly the same, but it's an Android Auto headunit running Android 11. So there's modernization to be had for these little things! Can't wait to see a non-snowy drive from you in one of these. They sound great.

Used to own one of these when I lived in Sudbury! R design kit color matched to the paint :) nice vid

The snow driving videos are my favorite

Although we don't have much (sometimes any) snow in Germany, you need to drive on winter tires oktober to easter at least. Weather can change anytime, and you end up on full black ice road

The T5 version was rare in the UK. I had 2 of these, the first generation 1.6 diesel, which I loved the look of, but it was a pig to drive. I then bought a 2l petrol Rebel blue one and I loved it! It was decent in the snow here in Scotland.

Great winter daily

Nice C30! I own the 2013 V40 T5 AWD (5 cylinder) which was not sold in the US market. This was the last Volvo with 5 cylinder gasoline engine and also with the highest power output of 254 HP. A really nice car.

@@initialyeet3951 In Europe only the S60/V60 Cross Country Models came with this Engine. But only until 2014. In 2015 they got the new 2.0 4 Cylinder. This was parallel the V40. And the S60/V60 are older Models (construction) than the V40. But you might be right in other markets.

Love the C30. Almost bought one when I was going off to college but alas that didn't work out in the end. Need to see more of Dana for reasons 😊

I have an Alfa Romeo 147 (It's a small italian hothatch) and even though it's front wheel drive and have a similar ground clearance like this Volvo I still love to take it out for a spin in the snow with snow tires because it's so much fun. I think you would love to drive that car as well sadly I don't think any of them were ever sold in the USA.

thanks for risking your life for our pleasure 🌟 always saw these as a pricey Focus SVT hatch. Yes, I wanted one (and a V50 T5), but aftermarket support, in the US, was nearly non-existant. I ended up in a 04 GTI instead...

You should definitely drive next a Volvo V70R or an S60R. You will see why the P2 Volvo's are in my opinion the best modern day Volvo's. The quality in every part of the car.

Sick car. The sunroofs don't really have a leaking issue, but the drains are super small, and cars that are parked outside risk them being clogged. It requires yearly cleaning (or more). P3 cars have a slightly better system with larger drain holes and you can check both sides of the drain tubes from within the car.

Volvo makes great cars, personally have tried driving a Volvo 940, V50, and V70. All great cars to be honest, Volvo never misses. Try the 240 or 940 please!

Great video Ted! ❤

Lmao, once I buy a C30, everywhere I go either in person or on the internet I find them everywhere. Mines also manual and I love it. The steering really was the first thing I noticed, it's shockingly good. And a tint on the rear hatch is definitely a must have, it helps immensely with SUV/misaligned headlights

i have the D5 version , fantastic car . i hope you make more videos with it

Volvo C30 in the snow? That's a great idea for a Tedward video! Are there going to be more snow driving video's? I hope so! Two months ago I put Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 winter tires on my '19 Volvo V60 T5... Now all I need is some snowfall over here

It is based on the second generation Euro Focus. So it makes sense that it has a good chassis.

Brooooo, I’ve been waiting for a Volvo for a while, love too see some five cylinder goodness. Still waiting for a s60r or polestar though🤩

I was out driving around! Found some nice roads in Carlisle.

i had one of these... manual with NO sunroof is the best spec there is! Ironically mine leaked water from the windshield but not the sunroof, lol

That’s a future retro hot hatch 🐣

Wow - a real, live, nav system included at no extra charge....

Nice driving. Soooooo many people are so dumb when it comes to driving in bad weather. Having snow tires on a FWD car makes such a huge difference. Also, you need to drive a SAAB!!!!

Great cars.. That ford era of Volvo's were just awesome in my opinion... I've always been surprised that these P1 volvos have been starting to get a lot more attention too ! My father used to have the V50 R design wagon... same chassis, same drivetrain, same interior as this C30... That V50 was a custom spec as well, rare car.. Sadly was totaled 8 years ago...

I really like this car. The only Volvo I would like more is the 480 with the Popup Headlights

This is another one of the cars I have always wanted. Mostly to try, but I am pretty sure - I would love having one (MT of course)! It is exactly the kind of funky car I like (I’ve had 3 Saab 95/96s, including 2 strokers)! Maybe some day!

The only bad thing about this car is that was in twilight... Other than that, is maybe the coolest volvo ever...

Love the t5 love the t6 too…

I would love see you driving more swedish cars (from all eras)

my friend have a c30 t5 rdisign. Very good and fast car

youll need to do another review for this car when its not snowy!

Grew up in a V50 2.0l, slow as fuck but had amazing steering feel and drove beautifully

Volvo video!

I have a C30 T5 R-design from 2007 that is keyless. I dint know if that is rare but i think its verry cool. And the paint is allso dark blue from factory.

These are fun

I have a 09 c30 t5 with the polestar tune with studded winter tires and it’s a blast to drive. Only issue is it turns into a snow plow cause it’s a bit low if there’s a lot of snow, but turn traction control off and it gets through it pretty easy.

back in about 2012 i looked really hard at a c30, ended up getting a 350z instead, but every time i see one want it.

love this car, would buy it, just there aren't any in my country

The Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram products of the Mercedes era that has that stubby key with a little end, was like that Volvo too. My Grand Caravan i can just klick it fast at the start position and it will start.

Note that here in Canada the only provinces that legally requires snow tires are Quebec and northern regions of BC. Anywhere else it’s “highly recommended”. Here in Ontario ~70% of drivers choose to run snows, including myself.

these snow driving videos are so therapeutic to me for some reason. I dont get snow where I live so thank you Tedward for making these

I love this platform. If it came in AWD I'd own one.

6:28 like some merc's there was a keyless start option that basicaly is just a button with that funky key on it that's why
