This Year's Model Updates:

The 2008 Volvo S40 receives significant changes. Styling has been refined and the interior's center console redesigned to increase storage space. Although the base 2.4-liter engine is left untouched, the turbocharged T5 gains nine additional horses for a grand total of 227. An auxiliary input jack is now standard on all S40s, while T5 models gain a standard upgraded sound system with satellite radio. Active bi-xenon headlamps are now an option on the T5, while Volvo's Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) technology is an option on all S40s. The all-wheel-drive T5 is now only available with an automatic transmission.

  • Too many problems for the cost - 2008 Volvo S40
    By -

    I purchased this car in 2011 with only 16,000 miles and had it back in the shop within 3 weeks to fix the driver side door which wouldnt latch. Subsequently have had it in the shop twice (wouldnt start due to programming issue and grinding noise while cornering). Now have to replace all tires @ 30k miles which the shop told me is common for this model.
