  While VOLVOs are not known as fun or quick cars, this is a real surprise.

  Why Europeans tend to get it right - 2003 Volvo V40
  By Adam Lausch - August 25 - 5:56 am

  I must say that this is truly a unique car. Ive rated it as unbiased as tough as I can. I simply love to drive it, and Ive owned some pretty nice vehicles. I think one of its major downfalls is that Volvo didnt offer a manual transmission, that would be a blast. I love the V50s, but we were able to find a very nice V40 with low miles for $6K. I couldnt pass it up. So far Ive have the check engine light come on once, and I think the ignition timing may have been off a bit. So I changed out a set of new high-performance plugs, and its running superbly. Good performance, not great. Its so comfortable as well. Why buy a SUV for a small family when there are fun and economic wagons like this

  Not Bad/Not Great - 2003 Volvo V40
  By Lincoln Steffens - December 30 - 10:00 am

  I wanted the Passat Wagon, my wife did not. We chose this primarily because of the Volvo name and safety features. The price as also competitive. We live in the city so we V70 would have been too big. This car is somewhat too small, particularly in cargo area and backseat when compared to its competitors. He drives and handles well and is pretty zippy on the freeway. Gas mileage for city driving is surprisingly poor for a 4 cyl. car (15 mpg). Requires premium gas too!

  V40: What a nice surprise!!! - 2003 Volvo V40
  By Solo - August 28 - 2:00 am

  I chose it over the VW Jetta and Passat wagons based on price and performance, V40s are absolutely a better value in Puerto Rico because VWs are overpriced. The exterior design is simple, but refined and tasteful. Interior design looks and feels expensive and well- finished. Excellent very supportive front seats. There is limited space on the rear seat, but it is roomy and comfortable enough for children and average adults. Acceleration and braking are more than adequate for daily commuting and will even allow some fun on twisty roads and long stretches. It cost only $26k, but every friends and aquaintances guess has been from $38k to $50k.
