I have purchase our Volvo S40 T4 to replace my S40 1.8i which I felt was a little underpowered. This you cannot say about the T4. The main reason for purchasing a T 4 is that you have the feeling of being safe in a classy looking car with the power of a sporty car - all in all you have everything. ... Read review

I have purchase our Volvo S40 T4 to replace my S40 1.8i which I felt was a little underpowered. This you cannot say about the T4. The main reason for purchasing a T 4 is that you have the feeling of being safe in a classy looking car with the power of a sporty car - all in all you have everything. The leather upholstery and heated front seats are a must for the cold Scottish winters. There are two things I would like to see Volvo fitting to the T4 and that is a rear wiper and a heated front windscreen. The fuel consumption for the type of driving that I do is not brilliant about 22 - 25 mpg. The after sales service from Strathmore Motors in Perth, Scotland is excellent. I travel 120 miles to this garage although there is a Volvo dealership only 20 miles from my home.

Car review of Volvo C70 2.4 T5 coupé by  ccundall

Advantages: Very fast, suprisingly affordable
Disadvantages: Fairly rare, resprays

...the T5 into the new S40 as well and judging buy the bargain prices you can get older S40's for this is potentially going to be a bargain car in 3-4 years time. Aesthetically the Volvo doesn't look as good as a Mercedes 230 (my own personal view is that the headlight wipers look tacky and cheap and from the front make a real mess of the car). We parked the Volvo next to a Mercedes 230 and for me there's no contest, as both cars were in silver you can pick out all the contours and shapes but still I'd put the Merc slightly ahead. On the interior as well I would say the Mercedes takes the biscuit, but again there's not much between the two. My feeling is that a 2000 Volvo C70 T5 automatic with average miles is good value for around £14, 000 and a lot of fun. The boot space is also ample, forget one set of golf clubs you could quite...
