Sorry, I haven’t searched all the threads....
The C30 manual, t5 looks like a good ride, can it be a summer fun car?

TIA.

The T5 is fun, nice power delivery, can be mapped/modified to be more powerful. But if it's for summer maybe you need a convertible...?

If it's the sun on your face and the wind in your hair you need to check out a C70 convertible, the C30 is a hard top, but can be a fun car all year round.

You might find it hard to find a C30 T5 manual,most had an auto box for some reason.
I believe the T5 is quite thirsty as well so something to bare in mind.
Also the last C30 made is coming up to 6 years old so probably the mileage might be on the high side.
