Overview & Reviews

Only a year after being banished from North America, the Volvo S40 2.4i's standard five-speed manual transmission is back for 2010, and the T5 AWD R-Design gets a standard six-speed manual. The five-speed automatic remains standard on the front-wheel-drive T5 R-Design but returns to the options list for the other trims. Other updates include two-position head restraints (versus fixed) and revised options availability. Fuel economy estimates are also improved for 2010.

• Comfortable front seats, ample safety features, emphasis on style, available all-wheel drive, sprightly optional turbocharged engine.

• Not quite a luxury sedan despite premium pricing, tepid acceleration with base engine, handling falls short of true sport sedans, underwhelming safety scores.

  Got the car early this year; first thing i noticed was the torque, i love the strength of the car,its powerful, good gearbox, bit of a hard drive,that just makes it more sporty. I am happy i bought it, it handles corners well for a fwd car. the motor makes that sound...nuts man,love it to bits
