What Not

“Sometimes a car is so spot-on, you don’t care if it’s the right size or has the best features or comes from your favorite brand. Meet Volvo’s C30 T5, a royal, rollicking romp of a small, two-door car. … The C30 T5 is a marvelous car. The look is evocative of the 1800 ES sport wagon Volvo fielded in the 1970s. To paraphrase a common comment from those who spied the C30 in parking lots: Volvo is making cool cars again. … The drivetrain is a delight. You’d expect some quirkiness because the C30 has the oddball approach to powerplants typical of Volvos. … The C30 turns out to be appealing enough to make you forget you went out to buy a conservative sedan, small SUV, large dog, or whatever, in the first place.”
