Just got home with my new C30. Finished all of the paperwork this afternoon, and drove it home through the streets of Seattle in rush hour traffic. I was sorry to see my TT go, but this is a much better car, and will serve me well.
More info coming soon including pictures and info.

I've driven the Volkswagen GTI and the C30, as well as looked at a host of other cars out there that are similar in style, size, price, and looks.   After driving the C30, I'm sold.  It's rock solid, fast, and very quiet.  The cabin is very well designed and laid out, and the car is fun to drive.
Today I drove both an automatic and a manual version of the C30.  The first was the automatic the dealership had as their test drive car – some eye popping blue with a swedish flag on the top.  The interior also had blue accents everywhere.
It was a blast to drive, but the automatic wasn't for me.  I need the manual!
Later in the day, I dropped back in since one that met my criteria had just come off of the truck earlier that day.  It was a manual, and in one of the colors I wanted – Chameleon Blue!  I drove it only a few blocks, but fell in love with it.  I started the purchase process right then.
The next day I went back and finished off the paperwork…
