I am getting a new car for my birthday but I can't decide between
the new volvo c30 or a jeep wangler.
Any suggestions?
I want something that will last long....
 
Volvo Euro style, expensive, safe. Good resale value

Jeep - American, cheap. not safe. Lousy resale value
 
Lucky Lucky You! and a Very Happy birthday in advance...
Basically, it depends on the person, and alot of other things.
if you like to go off-roadin, then jeep is the 4x4 for you.
There's no question about it.
But here's the thing, it also depends on how good of a driver you are.
you did'nt exactly tell me which of the model of the wrangler you were interested in.... wrangler is a powerful offroader, which means 4WD, bigger engine, more cylinders, less economy to the gallon, wranglers are guzzlers, when it comes to gas.
but if you need a car for a the city, and dont' have much activities, like hunting, camping, and offroadin,
then i would prefer you go for the c30, it's small compact, good on mileage, volvo is known for it's safety standards. and looks pretty stylish, can be the envy of your friends. it would be easy on your pockets when it comes to gas, and then again, the parts maybe be a bit expensive, but when you get a car, it's gonna come of course with maintenance and expenses.. just depends on well, you drive your car, and how much you take care of it. If you do that well, and it's gonna be a new car, you won't have much expenses on the car, for the first few years.
And somehow, i think it's gonna be pretty hard for you to change a tyre, on a jeep wrangler when you have a flat!! :)
 
If you want the car to last long, why would you pick those two vehicles ? I would have chosen either Subaru or Honda. My brother in law has had 2 Subaru with each one has had over 150,000 miles on them and had never done any heavy repairs other than regular matinees and he lives in Colorado. The Honda is also very reliable and the tract record is about the same as the Subaru but more stylish.
 
none of the above

jeep is really bad

volvo is hit and miss but very expensive to repair.

of these two the volvo is less bad but they better choices that will last longer.
 
Volvo is one of the safest vehicles if not the safest in the world, the Wrangler due to its high center of gravity, short wheelbase and a lack of any safety features such as stability control, side airbags is one of the worst. Volvo offers all the common safety feature is one of only two manufacturers right now to offer anti whiplash technology build into their seats, the other is Mercedes Benz. Some may say that the Volvo is expensive to repair, ours had zero repairs in the last 3 years except oil changes. There are more Volvos on the road with over 500,000 miles than any other make, when they say that the car lasts an average 17 years they can back that up.
