Faults:

Small coolant leak at expansion tank, replaced tank, relatively cheap.

Tiny oil leak from somewhere, not investigated yet. ABS light also came on, but disappeared by itself.

The car has otherwise only had wear and tear issues attended to in my ownership. My mechanic has replaced any belts and done oil changes as scheduled.

General Comments:

A stunning sporty little coupe from Volvo that is still modern feeling despite being nearly 17 years old!

Love the look of this car. Very much like a Volvo S40 on the inside and even some outside panels, but the C30 has its own look and personality. Love the dark large rear glass panel. Log book says the car is green but looks beige to me. Odd color, but not bad.

SE Sport model has very comfy seats and loads of electrics; I love this car's interior, feels modern still and way ahead of its time. The car is quiet and good to drive.

2.4 petrol engine with the auto is fast and smooth. Not very economical however - I am getting around 30 mpg at best, not great nowadays. But used only as a second car it has been affordable.

A little expensive to run, but something a bit different, you do not see many C30's on the roads. If you like Volvo's you have to try this car at some point!
