The 2009 Volvo C30 is offered in two trim levels, designated T5 and T5 R-Design. Both have front-wheel drive and a 227-hp turbocharged five-cylinder engine. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and a five-speed automatic is an option ($1,250).The C30 T5 ($23,800) comes standard with cloth upholstery; air conditioning; keyless entry; leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob; tilt/telescoping steering wheel with audio controls; height-adjustable manual driver's seat; outside temperature display; power windows, locks and mirrors; 50/50 split-folding rear seat; 160-watt AM/FM/CD stereo with six speakers; and 205/50R17 all-season tires on alloy wheels. The new Preferred Package ($1,595) adds premium Dynaudio stereo with Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound, a power-adjustable driver's seat, Keyless Drive, a trip computer, and fog lights. The Climate Package ($675) comprises heated front seats, headlight washers and rain-sensing wipers. Other options include a sunroof ($1,200), leather seating surfaces ($1,200), Sirius satellite radio ($395), and a Bluetooth interface ($295). The C30 T5 R-Design ($25,950) adds cruise control, two-tone Leather/Flextech upholstery, aluminum interior trim, and blue-faced instruments. Outside, R-Design is distinguished by additional bright trim and body-color (rather than black) wheel flares and sill extensions. A sport suspension is complemented by 215/45R18 tires, although buyers can order the base model's smoother-riding 17-inch wheels and tires if that's what they prefer. Full leather is available ($200), and options expand to include HDD navigation ($2,205). More options are available for both models, but to order most items we haven't already listed the customer has to pay a one-time Custom Build Charge ($300), plus the cost of the options, of course. But that one $300 payment opens the door to more than 30 additional items, and that's not counting more than a dozen custom wheel choices and an equal number of special colors. Some highlights: HDD navigation ($2,205), sport suspension ($275), cruise control ($185), and fog lights ($295) for the base T5; trip computer ($100); bi-xenon headlights ($700); heated front seats ($450); power-retractable side mirrors with puddle lamps ($250); alarm ($200); automatic climate control ($250); Keyless Drive ($450); power driver's seat ($450); power driver and passenger seat ($900); the Dynaudio stereo ($800); interior air filter ($200); Homelink universal garage door opener ($225); and auto-dimming rear-view mirror ($150). Safety features include the mandated dual front airbags plus side-curtain airbags for head protection, and side-impact airbags for torso protection. Active safety features consist of anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control (ESC), Electronic Brake-Force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist. Rear obstacle detection ($400) and Volvo's Blind Spot Information System (BLIS, $695) are both Custom-Build options.
