Thanks for watching! The “Respect The Drive” podcast is back so please stream/download anywhere you listen. My last guest was Ben Lin from Gears and Gasoline

[@kornaros96]

you need to review the Scania 770S...

[@maxnewts]

@@kornaros96 OMG yes that would be cool! Trucker Tedward reviews the euro truck!

[@kornaros96]

@@maxnewts Bruce Wilson did, and he was speechless...

[@maxnewts]

@@kornaros96 yes! I remember seeing that! I can only imagine what that must have felt like to drive one of those!

[@ArcticJS]

finally someone appreciates the c30!!!! i’ve had my 08 C30 T5 for like 2 years now and have loved it

[@EMIX091]

6 moths ago i became a owner of c30 2009 year, damn, she is so beautiful, so sad this is only FWD car, but there, in Russia we have 2-3 custom AWD volvo c30

[@katiecannon8186]

I wanted one so bad when they came out.

[@GT-hk8dy]

These cars got so marked up during and after covid. It was like a hidden gem until the mark up. Awesome car though

[@JUICECAT187]

I have a V50 T5 and I absolutely love it

[@David-rv9kj]

i have a focus rs mk2 with the 2.5 and Yeah the c30 its its little brother but its a great experience still

[@RedPanda_______]

Please more driving in snow videos!!

[@Affalterbach1967]

Northeastern USA has had a snow drought for the past three years; we will take what we can get.

[@chrismc2288]

Well it all melted today cause it rained and it was 50 out so don’t expect more soon

[@paulfrompayroll]

I almost cried because I had a volvo v50 T5 with the exact same transmission except it was AWD. It was an amazing car and I really miss it every day. I unfortunately got into a pretty serious wreck with it due to poor road design/poor reaction timing on my part. Learned a lesson that day, that was still the best vehicle I have ever owned.

[@KuyaArbee]

glad you're A-okay! volvo prob saved your life! yea I wish Volvo would bring back their inline 5 and 6 motors.... it would be amazing

[@BlenderedGT2]

As a C30 owner I am so glad to see you drive a C30 on the channel! I love mine dearly and its such a fun car to drive.

[@BlueRayHusky]

What a rare Car nowadays. Was looking for one here in Germany, but theres only one c30 with an T5 Engine in it. My Mother had an Volvo V70 R Design in Blue. Also an 5 Cylinder Car. It was lovely to hear that engine Roarr up 🥰❤

[@AI-Records24]

The T5 is definitely one of the best engines produced even if it isn’t the most powerful and has its problems it’s just iconic❤

[@mememe37]

That made me want to buy this car, the interior also looks so good without any modern screens.

[@demetriosb5758]

My first car was a $500 2008 S40 2.4i with a 5 speed. Car had 201,000 miles on it with a bad O2 sensor and broken TPMS sensors and no AC. Drove it for another 40k miles before the engine developed rod knock but man I loved that thing. The NA 5 cylinder had such a unique sound to it. Uncles boss was very wealthy and was gonna junk it but figured he could sell it to a young guy for his first car. Sold it to me for the junk price will never forget that thing!

[@GThuya]

I’ve had my C30 for almost 12 years now was my first car and will forever be my baby. Timeless design.

[@tatchity]

2012 C30 owner here! I love this!

[@Litestorm17]

From a Focus SVT to a Volvo C30 T5. Yup, that makes a ton of sense haha. Current Focus SVT owner myself, and I know a ton of other MK1 owners who also are eyeing up C30's too.

[@apatrevi1]

About the giant key fob in the dash - there is an accessory part that allows you to keep your keys in your pocket and just turn a little handle. It is called a Volvo C30 or C70 Starter Key with part number 31268615. I had a 2010 C70 that came with one, and it was a dream compared to having all my keys dangling in the dash. Definitely worth the $30 to $40 for one.

[@weirdshibainu]

My daily is an 850. FWD, 5 speed manual. Seriously good in snow. Only issue are other drivers who haven't a clue how to drive in bad weather.

[@vwestlife]

I always loved these C30s, but never quite enough to own one. And I like that sticker on the rear window!

[@aaronpeta]

No matter how busy my day is, no matter how much I have going on, no matter how many things I have to say no to, I always have time for a Tedward driving video.

[@TedwardDrives]

You are amazing!

[@abysswalker2403]

especially a tedward snow video

[@williamlong2682]

Oh hey I know that car! Best birthday present ever! 🎉🎁🎂🥳

[@TedwardDrives]

No way!!! Happy Birthday Will Long!

[@colinrickatson6320]

my parents had one of these back in the day and a really underrated feature was that for a 2 door those back seats were amazingly comfortable. They didn't adjust or anything but way better than most :)

[@nqxqn951]

Thanks for sharing Tedward! Seeing this inspired me to brave the snowstorm here and go on a just for fun snow drive in my XC90 V8.

[@Stargazer1331]

Route 40 is one of my favorite roads that's close to me. I typically drive it in the summer so it was cool to see it covered in snow.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

I got a 2011 R-line fully loaded. With keyless go and articulating headlights! It’s a beautiful car and I love it but it’s an automatic! I still love it. Oh, thanks for doing the manual transmission.

[@Rehevkor]

LOVE this scenery. Always dig the snow drives.

[@danieleregoli812]

Wow!!! I drove a C30 as my daily for over 10 years! Cute, very cute, and VERY well built car. Pity mine was not a T5, but a somewhat slower, yet thirsty, 1.6L manual petrol. My dogs LOVED the airy glass-hatch!

[@jfd863]

First: I love your snow driving videos. Second: Since it was beat into me when i worked at a tire shop, it's "Winter" tires. Third: I am mad jealous of all the snow you have. Ive been waiting for some good snow driving for years now.

[@maxtgrant]

Such a cool video, I’ve had a 2008 c30 for a little under 2 years and I love it

[@henryatkinson1479]

C30 T5 AWD would be pretty sweet.

[@vipermoon_]

Thanks so much for driving this one!!

[@Spoolingturbski]

Love the Volvo C30. Such a quick well handling car

[@motorhead_jt21]

Love the snow content. I took my Gladiator out in its first snow here in Central Mass and it was AWESOME!

[@Fds840]

Future classic, nice. It's great see this kind of volvo's great design.

Used to own one of these when I lived in Sudbury! R design kit color matched to the paint :) nice vid

[@RyanRoadReaper]

Those things are just so damn funky and fun! I love seeing them on the road.

One of my favorite cars. Massive volvo fan

It’s hard to tell which is the coolest; the car, the owner, or the weather!

I’d say the owner. He’s my favorite

Thank you!!

love all of ur videos keep up the work

[@kengarrett2211]

my same opinions on snow tires, bending the traffic rules in snow and people who run /jog in the snow. after 4 hours of snow removal did some donuts in my mother inlaws forester, so much fun. i could imagine how it would be with proper snow tires just awesome. great video of an cool oddball volvo

[@blackvx3336]

Driving thru the hometown! I miss those snow days but LA is treating me better now 😂

[@cherray50]

LOVE THESE -- always wanted one in high school

[@JPVolvo]

Had one a while, was very fun to drive definitely a nice little daily with the 6 speed.

[@vinayaklalshrivastava6988]

snow content is always appreciated,, :O

[@lttsr]

Love the C30. Almost bought one when I was going off to college but alas that didn't work out in the end. Need to see more of Dana for reasons 😊

[@notkaiiii]

got a C30 myself! i'd love to see you drive this one on a non snowy day to hear that 5 pot sing. keep it up!!

[@TedwardDrives]

Soon!

[@olivierb9091]

@@TedwardDrives We need a Volvo 5 cyl sing, the sound just doesnt fit with the car but its great. The slower the 5 cyl the better, full race noise and still 0-60 in 10 sec

[@chborer]

Nice C30! I own the 2013 V40 T5 AWD (5 cylinder) which was not sold in the US market. This was the last Volvo with 5 cylinder gasoline engine and also with the highest power output of 254 HP. A really nice car.

[@initialyeet3951]

Wasn’t the last I5 Volvo an S60/V60? Either way, I really wish we got the V40 over here.

[@chborer]

@@initialyeet3951 In Europe only the S60/V60 Cross Country Models came with this Engine. But only until 2014. In 2015 they got the new 2.0 4 Cylinder. This was parallel the V40. And the S60/V60 are older Models (construction) than the V40. But you might be right in other markets.

[@randomaccount3364]

It's a great car. I learned there's actually a company called Bluepower that makes a (relatively expensive) center console replacement that looks exactly the same, but it's an Android Auto headunit running Android 11. So there's modernization to be had for these little things! Can't wait to see a non-snowy drive from you in one of these. They sound great.

[@SilentGloves]

I used to drive my 2005 SRT-4 in Ohio snow on its factory BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW *SUMMER ONLY* tires. And when I say used to, I mean I did precisely once. Even just crawling along at like 5MPH, it would slide to the right due to the drainage angle of the roadways. Taking off with no throttle would spin them, looking at the break pedal would lock them. I'd always just had all seasons before that car, and all seasons were challenging in the snow on sport compact cars, but doable. That first snow in the SRT-4 was when I learned that summer tires REALLY mean summer tires. I got some new rims and threw on some thicker walled snow tires, and it became fun in the snow.

[@memorimusic420]

C30s are so cool, wish we had snow in Belgium 😂. love the content keep it up!

[@phredbull]

C30s were built in Ghent!

[@KartsAgainstHumanity]

Weird coincidence - I've been looking at these recently and watching videos just last night!!!

[@GavinRemme]

The snow driving videos are my favorite

[@intraxx88]

Although we don't have much (sometimes any) snow in Germany, you need to drive on winter tires oktober to easter at least. Weather can change anytime, and you end up on full black ice road

[@joshuaogline692]

I miss the days of 5cyl Volvos. My mom had an S60, I had an XC70, they were awesome cars! Great video as always!!! Having other gay car aficionados makes me happy!

[@maxnewts]

Happy NEW YEAR, Tedward! 🎉

[@TedwardDrives]

Happy New Year!

[@robbrownfield7677]

The T5 version was rare in the UK. I had 2 of these, the first generation 1.6 diesel, which I loved the look of, but it was a pig to drive. I then bought a 2l petrol Rebel blue one and I loved it! It was decent in the snow here in Scotland.

[@TheMarcellToth]

I have an Alfa Romeo 147 (It's a small italian hothatch) and even though it's front wheel drive and have a similar ground clearance like this Volvo I still love to take it out for a spin in the snow with snow tires because it's so much fun. I think you would love to drive that car as well sadly I don't think any of them were ever sold in the USA.

[@shreddysc]

Great video Ted! ❤

[@TedwardDrives]

Thanks!!

[@RayTheFPSGamer]

Volvo C30 in the snow? That's a great idea for a Tedward video! Are there going to be more snow driving video's? I hope so! Two months ago I put Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 winter tires on my '19 Volvo V60 T5... Now all I need is some snowfall over here

[@K03sport]

thanks for risking your life for our pleasure 🌟 always saw these as a pricey Focus SVT hatch. Yes, I wanted one (and a V50 T5), but aftermarket support, in the US, was nearly non-existant. I ended up in a 04 GTI instead...

[@TedwardDrives]

thats wild because Dana had an SVT Focus before he had this!

[@waaghals]

It is based on the second generation Euro Focus. So it makes sense that it has a good chassis.

[@arthurlekov2947]

You should definitely drive next a Volvo V70R or an S60R. You will see why the P2 Volvo's are in my opinion the best modern day Volvo's. The quality in every part of the car.

[@emilyabbott3751]

Those gauges, man I love them. I remember test driving the v50 wagon version of this (T5 AWD) back in the day, and loved it. Just not enough space being 6ft2 sadly

[@janp7882]

Brooooo, I’ve been waiting for a Volvo for a while, love too see some five cylinder goodness. Still waiting for a s60r or polestar though🤩

[@mynt253]

finally more snow stuff!

[@309gti8]

Ive always loved these since they first came out! Never got around to buying one, sadly.

[@OutMotorsports]

Oh hey decal cameo on that back glass 😉

[@TedwardDrives]

Dana represents!

[@nathanrichardson8250]

Great winter daily

[@connorPiper0]

Sick car. The sunroofs don't really have a leaking issue, but the drains are super small, and cars that are parked outside risk them being clogged. It requires yearly cleaning (or more). P3 cars have a slightly better system with larger drain holes and you can check both sides of the drain tubes from within the car.

[@LordVestik]

Volvo makes great cars, personally have tried driving a Volvo 940, V50, and V70. All great cars to be honest, Volvo never misses. Try the 240 or 940 please!

[@Blazs120gl]

Everybody gangsta running on summer tires + AWD in the winter until they find out that moving = driven wheels * grip. Grip = 0 -> moving = 0, regardless of the driver wheels. People driving once on winter tires in the winter, especially in snow, would never want to drive with summer tires in the winter again. Even all-season tires are a trade-off on snow. I had to drive a summer tire car in the snow for a short distance (to check the tranny in a donor car). I had no problems as long I did not try to move, brake or turn...

[@youneskhay2862]

i have the D5 version , fantastic car . i hope you make more videos with it

[@quantumlab9130]

Lmao, once I buy a C30, everywhere I go either in person or on the internet I find them everywhere. Mines also manual and I love it. The steering really was the first thing I noticed, it's shockingly good. And a tint on the rear hatch is definitely a must have, it helps immensely with SUV/misaligned headlights

[@TESLOV6]

my friend have a c30 t5 rdisign. Very good and fast car

[@jesseplouvier6374]

Nice driving. Soooooo many people are so dumb when it comes to driving in bad weather. Having snow tires on a FWD car makes such a huge difference. Also, you need to drive a SAAB!!!!

[@velardechelo]

The only bad thing about this car is that was in twilight... Other than that, is maybe the coolest volvo ever...

[@tristancefail]

I was out driving around! Found some nice roads in Carlisle.

[@lennartniehof7649]

these snow driving videos are so therapeutic to me for some reason. I dont get snow where I live so thank you Tedward for making these

[@maximeparent3004]

The Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram products of the Mercedes era that has that stubby key with a little end, was like that Volvo too. My Grand Caravan i can just klick it fast at the start position and it will start.

[@Yolo-xj2qe]

I have a 09 c30 t5 with the polestar tune with studded winter tires and it’s a blast to drive. Only issue is it turns into a snow plow cause it’s a bit low if there’s a lot of snow, but turn traction control off and it gets through it pretty easy.

[@G4meBust3rLP]

I really like this car. The only Volvo I would like more is the 480 with the Popup Headlights

[@liamholcroft7212]

the c30 is the spiritual successor to the 480

[@yankee2yankee216]

This is another one of the cars I have always wanted. Mostly to try, but I am pretty sure - I would love having one (MT of course)! It is exactly the kind of funky car I like (I’ve had 3 Saab 95/96s, including 2 strokers)! Maybe some day!

[@Mjl777l]

That’s a future retro hot hatch 🐣

[@jamesonpace726]

Wow - a real, live, nav system included at no extra charge....

[@Leo-lr4eq]

Great cars.. That ford era of Volvo's were just awesome in my opinion... I've always been surprised that these P1 volvos have been starting to get a lot more attention too ! My father used to have the V50 R design wagon... same chassis, same drivetrain, same interior as this C30... That V50 was a custom spec as well, rare car.. Sadly was totaled 8 years ago...

[@swizzlstyx]

i had one of these... manual with NO sunroof is the best spec there is! Ironically mine leaked water from the windshield but not the sunroof, lol

Grew up in a V50 2.0l, slow as fuck but had amazing steering feel and drove beautifully

[@matthew_k47]

Note that here in Canada the only provinces that legally requires snow tires are Quebec and northern regions of BC. Anywhere else it’s “highly recommended”. Here in Ontario ~70% of drivers choose to run snows, including myself.

[@F3udF1st]

Chicks love the C30, Robert Pattinson made sure of that.
