Hey guys,
The Astina has a new owner and a new home now, and alas I have upgraded to something with a bitter cabin space and a bit newer too.
Recently purchased a 2008 Volvo c30 t5 r design. About 170kws at the flywheel, through a tiptronic sports auto 5speed.
These cars are very a love/hate interpretation! For myself it is the love.
It's got a t5 5 cylinder turbo fwd motor. The same you will find in the xr5 turbo focus. I actually looked at the xr5 aswell. The problem I had with the ford was the interior was ugly as sin (IMO)
I also looked at bk Mazda 3 mps but found it hard to find a model that drove well and had a decent amount of kms on it.
I pick up the car tomorrow, so stay tuned for a couple of pics, especially for those who are unaware of what these little volvos are like!
