| Price of the Volvo C30: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD | Watch out for the options, but if you just want a fun and unique car to drive, a base model will cost you a little over 20K. |
| Price of the Volvo C30: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD | It is expensive compared to similar vehicles. |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD | The price is a little on the high side for a car of this caliber. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the BMW X5
| Price of the BMW X5: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 265hp 3.0L I6 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | BMW cost higher than other brand in the same class, except Porsche and Land Rover. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | It was very hard to find one close to or under invoice. But the vehicle does retain a lot of residual value. I had to do a lot of research to find one at a decent price...but I did! |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Overpriced relative to USA prices |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 315-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | I feel that the certified pre owned program from BMW adds much too high a cost to the vehicle. However, wife wanted from dealership, so we had to get from there. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | These can be pricey. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 282-horsepower 4.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | New price is enormous. 50,000+ I paid 15,000 |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD |
Nothing looks or feels cheap. Paint on the plastic and metal match perfectly. Joints are tight and consistant. Welds are very consistant. Materials feel thick and substantial. |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The fit and finish (materials, tolerances, etc.) are far superior to other hatches I test drove. The seat materials and comfort are amazing. Great upholstery for base option. |
| 2008 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual FWD |
The large doors feel really solid for example. The interior seems to be made of high quality materials. Nothing feels cheap in this car. |

The overall quality is great. Everything is in place, is well finished, and fits. Also, everything works as advertised. I read a few complaints concerning the iDrive but after an hour or so of instruction, it is easily mastered. |
