Are Volvos quirky, too?
“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…
