...new car. As bikers, a Volvo always used to be our nemesis, so when I got one, boy was I ribbed! In fact, when it arrived, one frined bought me some fluffy dice, and another bought me a tartan rug! Only the fact that no-one could find one did I not receive a crocheted facial tissue cover! Oh how they laugh on the other sides of their faces now! It's never had a days problem in 30,000 miles, it's comfortable, easy to drive, has a great sound system ...

Review of Volvo S40 1.6

Good solid reliable car. Looks pretty good too.

Advantages: Reliable. Quick. Economic. Safe.
Disadvantages: No rear wiper. Expensive to service.

...Toyota ranges, but then the Volvo is supposed to be a more upmarket marque than the usual rep-mobiles. Build quality is second to none as are the safety features as may be expected from a Volvo. My mother had a head on collision (other driver was at fault) at ~70mph in a V40 (the estate version) and walked away from it. The other car (a Peugeot 306) was destroyed. ...

Womans Perspective on the Volvo S40 2.0 T

Advantages: Comfy car, economical on petrol, roomy,
Disadvantages: Insurance price

We purchased the Volvo S40 T in March of this year. Ours is a 1999 model. With low mileage for the year,and were pleasantly suprised how economical its turned out to be. This car has turned out to be a real bargain. Advantages: A filled tank lasts for ages.It has a 60 litre fuel tank and runs on petrol. The car is fitted with Central Locking, Alarm System, Immobilizer, ABS and Air conditioning as standard. The level of comfort is suprising especially ...
...for lots of reasons. We have nicknamed it half tank as it seems to permanently have half a tank of juice left. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages and is a very practical economical family car. So we as a family would highly reccommend the Volvo S40 T to anyone ...

Review of Volvo S40 T4

New Volvo S40 2.0D SE

Advantages: Low Price for Premium Badge, Styling, Build Quality, Handling
Disadvantages: Lack of cubby space, Boot too shallow

...to it and a familiar Volvo shoulder line. It's clear that Volvo have aimed squarely for the 3-Series, and A4 - Infact the S40 is the Auto Express Compact Executive Champion 2004. Though the new S40 is smaller than it's predecessor, the wheel base has grown by 78mm thus giving more space inside, the extra width has given the S40 a more muscular look. Infact a friend described it as a 'S60 that has shrunk in the wash'. Based on a shared platform, ...
...Safety is synonymous with the Volvo name and needless to say it is superb. The S40 scored a maximum five stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests, and the SE model comes with Dual Stage Driver & Passenger Airbags, Side Impact Protection System (SIPS), SIPS Airbags, Inflatable Curtain, Whiplash Protection System for the Front Seats, ABS, EBD and Dynamic Stability & Traction Control ! - Phew !! That's a mouthful ! A neat feature I particurlarly like is ...
