Anyone drive a C30?

Re: Anyone drive a C30?

Well a C30 doesn't really compare to a base Golf. The 2.5 is nothing special. All I'm trying to say is that I think the R-Design is more comparable to the GTI IMO.

Sorry, I think we misunderstood eachother. What I was saying is that since the R-Design package is simply exterior and interior upgrades, I think the base C30 T5 is still comparable to the GTI. If you raced a base C30 T5 beside a fully loaded R-Design, it'll be neck and neck.

Oh ok, my bad. I agree with you that they're comparable when it comes to performance and the R-Design makes no difference in that aspect.

I love how the C30 looks and the R-Design trim line should've been the one for me but VW's interior beats the Volvo one out by a mile. Being well acquainted with an XC90, I'm more than familiar with Volvo and while I like the floating center dash design, I saw that same design in 2004. At least change something!

The navigation is also a POS.

Navigation is absolutely terrible but I disagree on the interior part. Everyone has their own tastes/opinions.

If only they had flush navigation within the center dash and not a motorized one... Sigh.

I agree, it's pretty brutal. I think navigation is a waste of money anyways though. I bought some "Nordic Oak" interior trim today to replace my aluminum R-Design trim. I think it brightens up the interior and with it being real wood, gives it a more premium feel. Here's a pic of what my interior will look like when it install the wood (except for my seats are all black rather than with the cream inserts).
