Volvo C30. Для кого этот автомобиль? Видео обзор С30.

Volvo for pensioners! Volvo is the most expensive car to maintain! Volvo is the safest, it is so safe that it becomes boring to drive it. And here's another thing... This car does not break down, but if it breaks down, it is impossible to repair it, because it is very complicated! Have you heard this? Yes, I have, many times... But where does this general national belief come from? And here's another thing, is this the belief of only our fellow citizens, or are stories about the "pension", cost, etc. circulating all over the world? For example, at that time, until I was thoroughly "hooked" on VOLVO, I also thought so... But damn, how could I know this? Probably, I just heard it from someone? But why did I perceive this chatter as the truth? After all, I did not own a Volvo then, and therefore I made conclusions based on rumors and gossip and the opinions of others... I guess I am kind of strange... And you? Now I also hear these beliefs, less often, but I hear them. But now Volvo is compared to Koreans, to Chinese. I won't even mention the latter... Why doesn't anyone say that Volvo is expensive to maintain, while Mercedes is not? Or BMW, or AUDI? Why doesn't anyone say that "Zhiga" is for pensioners? Although, in my opinion, it is an outdated car in all respects, a grandfather needs it to take the seedlings to the dacha and that's it, the mission is complete. But 18-year-old teenagers buy this, quite a "youth" car and drive around with sawed-off springs and stickers from a tuning studio, like "VAZs rule". I know what the problem is, the problem is that there is no money... In general, there is no money. Our population, the middle-aged generation, has enough money only to buy a Chinese car, our students, only for a "Zhiga", and everything else is an excuse for the poor, as they say. Offer any "fan" of the Lada to exchange it for a new Volvo, I am sure the deal will be done instantly and all the love for old jalopies will pass instantly (the only exception is very wealthy citizens who invest a lot of money in real tuning of the Lada, this is clear, this is a separate caste of people and I am not writing about them now). Everything else is self-deception. I got carried away somehow... What is the video about, you ask me? I will answer.. A video about a very expensive, incredibly difficult to maintain, pensioner's car Volvo C30!))) A joke, as you guessed, everything is the other way around... This car has not been produced for a long time, and there are no more of its classmates, no coupes, no 3-door mini hatchbacks. There were attempts to make a V40CC, but they never "went" into the masses, I think the price issue was the deciding factor here... Because you could add a small amount to the cost of the V40CC and buy, say, an XC70, a diesel, all-wheel drive, large and comfortable station wagon, where you won't hit your head on the ceiling on every bump... The C30 has an extraordinary appearance, I would even say bold! In the 90s, there was a Volvo 480 series car, that's what they have in common, in my opinion, only the C30 managed to become popular and go into the masses. Maybe thanks to Ford, which at that time owned the Volvo corporation, they managed to build a number of cars on their P1 platform, which led to a reduction in the cost of the final product. Maybe they did good marketing, popularizing both their Ford models and Volvo models, built on the same platform with the same units, but with their own twist. At that time, the Ford and Volvo boom began. While Kia and Hyundai were just gaining momentum, Ford Focus reigned on the roads of Moscow. And then the Koreans came and completely ousted Ford, and now the Chinese are coming and I think that the last word is theirs) But Volvo is still in service! While old Fords are rotting away their days, shiny Volvos give a head start to many on the secondary market. Including the C30 from this review! Who will say that it will soon be 10 years old??? And all this is not because only pensioners drive them, but because of quality requirements. Volvo has always been famous for its high quality requirements, and this is no longer a rumor, but so it is... So, friends, watch the review, comment, maybe disagree in something, put likes and dislikes, and I hugged everyone from a distance, arrivederci!
