Volvo C30 2006
After 17 years and 430,000 km of driving, I am not exaggerating at all when I say that the engine, still all original, works like the first day.

Pros: After 17 years and 430,000 km of driving, I am not exaggerating at all when I say that the engine, still all original, works like the first day. Its progressive acceleration giving the kick from 2000 rpm, its recovery from very low revs, its smooth driving without perceiving after 430,000 km any kind of vibration or noise other than the engine's own. Without any type of breakdowns except for the wear and tear that comes with its kilometres, such as: two timing belts, rear wheel bearings and the clutch kit because I noticed some noise when changing low gears, not due to engine response when the car reached 300,000 km. And to finish, its sunroof and its r-design version together with its orinoco blue colour is still stealing glances, attractive as the first day.
Cons: Absolutely nothing negative can be said.
