the thing I respect jay for is not that he has money and owns quite a large collection of cars, it is the fact that he is not hiding them away from the world and hoarding priceless classics and exotics. He shares them with us, tells us things about them and allows the general public to understand why they are such great cars. The mark of a good man.

The secrets to many of these Volvo's dating back to the mid to late 90's is just reprograming the ECU.. The motor is beast mode.

I have a "mechanically stock" 2009 Volvo C30 T5 R-Design, 6-Speed with the 50 hp PoleStar engine software flash upgrade. ...phenomenal... Absolutely phenomenal. As a collector, I've owned over 100 cars throughout my life and this is one of my favorites.

That is one of the only hatches that could ever pull me away from my Audi/VW love... what a BEAUTY!!!

Just got my c30 two weeks ago. Dream come true!

I've had my 2011 for a little over two years now, after having several 3 series BMWs. I have been so happy with this car, that I doubt I'll ever buy anything else but Volvo. The V60 or XC60 seem like the perfect next step when the kids come. The service plan and customer service have been amazing, and for such a small car, it's been really practical and versatile. This video is going to be a bad influence on me, making me think about how to mod my baby and get the bhp that you can feel hiding in that engine! And, AWD would be amazing in the snow!

I saw this car in my college in orange and I said to myself this will be my first car. Too bad it’s discontinued! Such a beautiful design.

How many different types of denim are there?

I always liked the C30. Very cool looking car. I love this one! I like the color too. I would absolutely love to daily drive this ride.

[maxa]

I can't wait for someone to publish an awd build thread on a C30 like this. Release the Haldex notes Polestar!

[grandbalais]

No abs, no traction control, I love it! check the volume on your mikes sometimes unequal, love the show !

[paulschneeman]

Once you get to know this vechicle it is fun to work on. The C30 has many after market improvements.

Jay Leno is good at representing any car. He's never biased and says what the car is really all about

"swedish kids get 600hp out of these"
Let me assure you, i am Swedish and i know lots of people that without problem get 1000hp in their in-line 5cylinder volvo engines. And yes, those are roadcars.

[badapple]

Just like hearing my Swedish Father’s voice/accent again that passed away 2 years ago. Funny how he never lost his thick accent after living in America since 1957. Great car!

[adrianmargean]

This car is definitely in my top 10 favorite cars.

Leno has great taste in automobiles. Absolutely amazing taste. Good luck finding anything else on the Polestar C30 worth watching.

"Swedish Racing Green" ... ... I Love It!

[nofitlerphotos]

Love this car, what an absolutely stunner! they so need to put it into production.

I have had an 09 C30 for about 6 months now and it's got almost 100k miles on it. Still gets 34 mpg on the highway if I keep it at 70 mph and about 17 around town (the same as my 02 Crown Vic.) I had to take it on a round trip from Salt Lake City, to Western Kentucky, about 3000 miles, and the outbound trip being done in 28 hours. The car is very very driveable, once you get the seat completely adjusted to fit. The most fun was heading east on I 40 from Steamboat springs going to Denver, it's basicly a go cart with a roof and windows. FUn ! except that it was the first time I drove the route and went slower that I would go on a known trip.
I can't wait to get the time to do the trip again !
