Default 1st service & C30

Had the first service today and had a curtsey car.
it was a my11 C30 1.6 Diesel Drive. must admit I thought it'd be like driving a bag of c**p after the XC60, but NO, I was very impressed with it.
Quite nippy for a 1.6 diesel and averaging 44mpg . very comfortable and not too dissimilar to my XC interior.
Could be a contender if the Petrol prices keep going up.

The service went without a hitch by the way.

Yes but the C30 forum is not as entertaining as this one.

I like the idea of a car that greets you, but a curtsey is a bit formal IMHO!

Yes, surely a discreet wave, and perhaps a tip of the hat would be more appropriate....
