The S40 SE 1.6 is a well equiped car with everything you need including climate control, leather interior, air conditioning, SIP's, style and much more. The handling is good in the dry weather but a little less so in the snow. For a 1.6 the power to weight ratio is about right and the car is good to drive. The only down side is the lack of leg room for rear passengers who have limited forward view due to the front head restraints. The boot space is ok but in snow when opened the snow on the boot lid finishes up in the boot. Overall though a good buy with excellent after sales service.
