Auto loans: the 2011 Volvo C30
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Volvo C30 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2011 Volvo C30? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 14 owner complaints on file, mostly about visibility/wiper, structure and unknown or other. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
Its 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo drives through a 5-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated 9.7 L/100 km combined: about 29 litres every 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $150.40 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the C30
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
What the C30 is like
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is 425 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the C30 answers the big questions. If the C30 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Narrowing it down
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.04 in fuel.
