The Swede's inline five-cylinder turbo, which is used also in Ford's Focus and Mondeo XR5 models is a quick and capable thing married to the slick six-speed manual.

But though the C30 looks more or less Volvo from the B-pillar forward, its glass hatch is a singular and welcome departure from the design norm; albeit one that makes the cargo cover a very necessary option on a list of them that's way long.

Engine: 2.5-litre/5-cylinder turbo 162kW/320Nm
