What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Volvo XC70
| Price of the Volvo XC70: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 300hp 2.5L I5 6-speed manual AWD |
The V70R represents excellent bang-for-the-buck. Comparable Audis cost noticeably more and comparable BMWs and Mercedes cost a ridiculous amount more for generally less performance and utility. The price of a used V70R is a real bargain. |
| Price of the Volvo XC70: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 281hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
A bit on the costly side, but cheaper than competitors by far and better looking |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
They are sxpensive for what you get. I think the Subaru is comparable for much less money. |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Expensive but its that way for a reason. |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 208hp 2.5L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
This is a very expensive car at $40,000+. It is very nice and we love the car, just not paying for it! |
| 2002 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed automatic FWD |
The V70 was too expensive to buy and had pending maintenance issues, e.g., timing belt. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW 1-Series

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I pay $180 less a month on this lease than my previous MINI Cooper. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
The price is good forwhat you get. |
| Price of the BMW 1-Series: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
The standard features are lacking. Many cars costing half as much have more features than the 1-series. You can get better equipped cars for the same money with Infiniti (G37S) and Audi (TT-S, S4). |
| 2008 | 2dr Convertible 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Pricey, especially for convertible compared to coupe. Cost of auto-transmission silly compared to manuals -- and other autos. Early examples not offered with much discount from MSRP. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
When you add enough options you are approaching 3 series territory but still worth it |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Not cheap compared to Accord, Altima, etc. |
