The divider in the frunk is because there’s no safety latch inside and a child could trap themselves in there. The divider is the cheap way of complying with safety standards.

@Cloud30000 Ай бұрын

That’s clever, and it allows you to cut out the divider and put unruly children inside for peaceful road trips.

Bought a 2023 C40 Recharge Plus certified from a Volvo dealer. Was previously a rental as well. Paid $28k, got a 2k Costco rebate. Loving the car so far (had it for 4 months) - just wish it had more range. No issues so far, but I will be on this journey with you!

I used to work for a car rental company. We did minimal maintenance on the cars, they always were the base model of each type, and the customers would abuse the heck out of them. But that’s a cheap price for a used car.

@Johnny_Socko Ай бұрын

I''ve been happy to see in recent years that many rental cars are not base trims, but actually mid-trim or better -- and that's in mainstream segments. I guess it doesn't hurt that cars in general are more well-equipped than they used to be. Maybe there is a psychological component to rental companies offering decent trims, such that if a car is not a complete beater, then drivers will treat it better. (But I'm probably giving too much credit to humanity, lol)

The minimal maintenance is correct, except that enterprise Alamo and National have won awards for going above and beyond with maintenance. Hopefully that continues.

I went to hertz to look at a used Mazda cx5 on two occasions, both times the car was not what it was as advertised. Had pretty extensive damage on both, lots of cosmetic issues. Cracked bumpers, one was missing a front reflector, well it was in the hole, but the bumper was cracked and it was shoved in there, both times they acted like it was in pristine condition and weren’t willing to negotiate the price whatsoever on the new light of these issues.

The glass roofs in evs still baffle me. For cars so focused on efficency, why have a glass roof that's both significantly heavier and causes a greenhouse effect requiring more AC. I bet if they made a plain metal roof version of this it would have 4-5% more range from weight and ac savings alone

Does it baffle you when people pay money to option up their ICE cars all for less MPG? Top trim EV's are not about efficiency, the wheels alone you could add 40 miles using smaller ones

@harriettanthony7352 Ай бұрын

The 'why' of this Question SEEMS to be cost. To start ; the cost of the metal roof and its design costs, then the paint, the headliner and such. Then the manufacture cost times "X" number of cars. A real price example, ONE basic stalk will run the maker +$15.00. And new glass is not 'significantly' heavy. I know of one solar maker who uses glass for the solar panels to be used on golf carts and the like

I bet you can add Adaptive Cruise pretty cheaply, maybe even for free (besides the tools) if it just needs software changes and you don’t have to add a camera and button\steering wheel setting. Many mfg’s give you most of the hardware as it’s cheaper than having a separate design or assembly line for models without adaptive cruise, and use it to make the next trim or tech package more appealing (selling you the software); updating the software and connecting controllers to the disconnected wires in the steering wheel harness is often enough to make them fully functional.

Yes it does. The only warranties that usually don't go to the 2nd owner are the long powertrain warranties from companies like Kia/Hyundai/Genesis, Mitsubishi, etc. For those long warranties, they become shorter for the second owner, more typical to the average.

Really excited for this. I've been eyeing the C40 and XC40 (when they were on the hertz site) for a while now. Can't wait to see the updates and maybe find a 2023 in 2025 and somehow get the used ev tax credit! I love my PS2 but I would have preferred the way volvo placed the 2 cup holders and the air vents. On the flip side, I prefer some added user choice in the OPD and handling of the PS2 but surely miss the increased passenger volume in the rear of the volvo variants. Dealer/service network is definitely a win for the volvos.

$60k for 260 mi range? Yuk. $27k for a used 200ish is less awful. Stops in 1300 mi at 65 mph. An E class or Accord is comfortable and can travel that distance at 75 mph average in two long days at 28 mpg. Instead of 7 hours of stops in addition to the overnight stay, you'll make 2 15 minute stops if you manage your personal fluids well. Sounds boring.

@lexlopez15 Ай бұрын

People that are looking to get an EV have no interest in managing gas, oils, and fluids. They find a lot more pros than cons with an ev....how many times do you fill up a gas car every month, or change the oil and fluids every year, and how much does it cost?? In the 2 yrs I've had my EV I spend about $30 a year...to rotate my tires, and not much else... also, to charge my EV costs me about $20 on a public charger, if I'm home it adds about $7 to my electric bill...as far as road trips go, not everyone travels across the country on the road regularly, it would be cheaper and faster to fly... But if I had to do it and stop 6 or 7 times a long the way then I'd say it's a good compromise to the money I save throughout the year.

I'd never buy an ICE from HERTZ. We all know how people beat on rental cars and who knows how they're maintained with oil changes and such. But an EV seems less of a gamble as long as it's clean and has no accident history. EV depreciation sinks like a stone in water because total range decreases over time from charging cycles and the batteries are insanely expensive to replace. Plus, demand for EVs in general is very low.
