The Garage have published a review of the 2011 Volvo C30 R-Design. 'The C30 occupies a small market niche known as the "small premium car", shared with the VW GTI and Mini Cooper S, but the C30 stands out in this class. While the GTI and Cooper S start out as sub-$20,000 cars as the Golf and base Cooper, the C30 starts around $25,000. One look at the C30, and it is evident that unlike the competition, this car was conceived as a premium sport coupe first, not basic transportation with added flair. While style is subjective, I will argue that of the three cars, the C30 is best dressed for the role it was designed for. The full body kit, fat exhaust tips and 18″ alloys that come standard on the R-Design is icing on the cake.'
