goes sporty |
Volvo
is introducing the striking R-DESIGN Sport as the new entry
level specification on the Volvo C30 SportsCoupé.
From just £14,995 OTR for the 1.6 petrol R-DESIGN Sport,
this desirable model is now within the reach of many more aspiring
Volvo owners and is available to order now. Extending the appeal
even further, Volvo is also offering 0 per cent APR typical finance
over three years with a 30 per cent minimum deposit and 12 months
free insurance.
The R-DESIGN exterior incorporates an exclusive sports bodykit,
rear spoiler, R-DESIGN logo on the grille and alloy wheels. Inside,
the unique interior is upholstered in off-black T-Tec fabric
with contrasting cream leather embossed with the R-DESIGN logo
and is complemented by eye-catching blue instrument dials, a
leather sports steering wheel, aluminium ridged sports pedals
and gear knob with aluminium inserts.
The C30 R-DESIGN Sport has the performance and flexibility to
match its head-turning styling, with a choice of four petrol
engines from the 1.6 to the range topping 230PS T5, three diesels
(the frugal 1.6D, 2.0D and D5) and an eco friendly 1.8 FlexiFuel
bio-ethanol model.
The striking R-DESIGN Sport C30 SportsCoupé
Introducing
the R-DESIGN styling as the entry level model has been positively
received by residual value experts and gives
Volvo’s SportsCoupe a favourable position against key
rivals.
The Volvo C30 is known for its unique design with a muscular
frame, iconic rear tailgate, four individual seats and floating
centre console with a class-leading audio system. Now the popular
R-DESIGN styling gives the car an aesthetic adrenalin kick.
However, for less sport and more luxury, customers can choose
the refined
SE specification for the same price as the R-DESIGN Sport.
Similarly, customers wanting a no-compromise mixture of the
two can opt
for R-DESIGN SE Sport, starting at £17,245 for the 1.8
petrol model.
The most luxurious version of the Volvo C30, the SE LUX, starts
at £17,495 for the 1.8 engine. The SE LUX trim offers leather
upholstery, heated front seats, power folding door mirrors with
ground lights, a headlamp cleaning system and 17” polished
alloy wheels.

| Time
to stop messing with the clocks |
ROAD safety
champions GEM Motoring Assist (GEM) says that as we move towards
the end of March and the return to British Summer
Time, once the clocks have ‘sprung forward’ one
hour we should leave them alone.
GEM Motoring Assist chief executive David Williams said: “Leaving
the clocks at British Summer Time next autumn will save hundreds
of young lives and it is our duty to keep faith with them.”
He said that dark and gloomy winter evenings, when youngsters
are returning home after a tiring day at school, are among the
most dangerous periods on the road.
“
We have joined with other road safety organisations over many
years and argued that clocks should be left alone at the close
of the year,” he said. “I think our argument, which
is well proven by statistics, is at last winning favour and public
opinion and that of Parliamentarians is with us.”
Mr Tim Yeo, MP for South Suffolk, is one of many members of Parliament
who have argued for a move away from GMT during the winter months,
not only to save lives but also to save energy and CO² emissions.
