Dodge Challenger vs. Volvo C30 Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Dodge is substantially cheaper to get to the dealership than the Volvo C30. The Volvo will save you money at the pump compared to the Dodge Challenger. Producing a precise gas mileage evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Volvo C30 is the winner regarding fuel economy. The Dodge is significantly costlier than the Volvo when it comes to MSRP.

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Dodge over the Volvo. The C30 outpulls the Dodge Challenger by a large margin.

Convenience
The Dodge Challenger's fuel tank will need to be replenished a little more often than the unit in the Volvo C30.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the Dodge Challenger offers a bit more head room than the C30, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the Volvo C30 make it significantly more spacious for your passengers than the Challenger.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Dodge than the C30 because of its larger tank. The Volvo C30 fits in smaller parking spaces than the Dodge Challenger. The Dodge Challenger's longer wheelbase will likely result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the flip side, the Volvo C30 may give a sprier feel in daily traffic.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, the Dodge Challenger is a legitimate sports car. Regarding horsepower, the Dodge Challenger packs quite a punch and will knock the Volvo C30 down a few rungs. However, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Dodge Challenger and the Volvo C30 definitely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Volvo's engine is considerably smaller than the Dodge Challenger's. Bear in mind that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; on the flip side, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. Torque is the force that lets you accelerate quickly, and in this respect, the Dodge Challenger isn't much more powerful than the C30. The Volvo has no lessons to learn with respect to pickup from the Dodge Challenger.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Dodge Challenger isn't quite as generous as the Volvo C30's.
