Personally, I do think RV is an important factor to consider when buying a car. Especially if your income is not so high. However, that alone should not be the only consideration. I have a lot of people around me that would quickly disapprove of a car choice based on its RV. To me that's just stupid and annoying.

There are so many other factors to consider. Safety, reliability, cheap maintenance, parts availability, driving satisfaction, extra features, etc.

Put all those into your personal consideration and then decide whether the price tag and the RV are worth the ride.

I think it's more practical to compare between segments rather than price range. Because when buying a car, people would target which segment they want. After that only budget.
