This is a great car! - 2003 Volvo V40
By isabelle - February 13 - 2:00 amWhat a great car. We recently went to look at the XC70 and didnt really like it as much. The V40 is comfortable, practical, and so fun to drive.

Everything I imagined it would be! - 2003 Volvo V40
By Allison - January 8 - 10:00 amI purchased my 2003 V-40 about a month ago and I am VERY HAPPY with everything about it! The interior is well- designed, spacious, and fits like a glove. The exterior is classy and very cool. Plus- add the eurorails & fog lights and you get one sporty ride. A little bit slow to start off with- but once it passes the 30 MPH mark- you are flyin! So far- so good!

V40 vs. Passat - 2003 Volvo V40
By jseattle - November 20 - 2:00 amWe purcahsed the V40 over the Passat for three reasons: 1) no turbo lag in the V40 compared with noticable lag and kick in the Passat; 2) better exterior styling in the wagon configuration; and 3) better interior trim finishes-dash and leather feel. The engine feels like a V6 and is w/o noticible turbo lag and accleration wheel pull on the front wheel drive. Both we felt could have been better on the Passat we test drove.

No Regrets - 2003 Volvo V40
By biohazard6161 - August 26 - 2:00 amWe always pictured Volvos as boxy, boring cars. I was really suprised when a friend recommended this car and once we saw it. The fit and finish is really very good as is the power and space and especially the safety and security features. if Volvo is aiming this car towards the younger generation and first time parents, they are on the right track.

Fine used car - 2003 Volvo V40
By gordon - April 16 - 9:56 amWe purchased this in 2009 with 38,000 miles on it. Have put 2 2,000 mile trips on it and averaged 39 mpg. Around town it gets around 22 mpg. Car has plenty of zip and handles well. Both my wife and I find the seats comfortable. The lumbar support helps. A/C blows cold and have had no work other than regular maintenance done on it. Would recommend as used car.

v-40 - 2003 Volvo V40
By Patwest - November 15 - 10:00 amIt is almost as heavy as my old 95 850T (which had 210000 on it). Handles like a larger car. It has a lot of zip with the turbo engine. It U-turns in 3 lanes. Plenty of room for a bike, wheelchair, or lots of luggage. Middle seat is short, but not as bad as some compact wagons.

Fun Car, Safe Car - 2003 Volvo V40
By Jeremias Gentry - May 14 - 2:00 amWe were looking for a good combination of a vehicle that was fun to drive, safe in the event of an accident, and provided utility for a small family. We found it in the V40. I was suprised by the smooth acceleration and responsiveness, definitely enough to work through the perilous Atlanta traffic with ease. We test drove all the wagons and felt this was our best option.

A great car at a great value! - 2003 Volvo V40
By akke bengston - April 21 - 2:00 amIve always wanted an 1800ES wagon and I was surprised to discover the stylish v40 among the usual Volvo boxes. We drove it, liked it and bought one. The incentives on this car make it very appealing, especially considering next years replacement looks too much like another VW. The more we drive it, the more we like it.

Very Pleased - 2003 Volvo V40
By tdtg72 - July 13 - 2:00 amI bought this car after VW had to buy back my lemon Jetta. I really enjoy the wagon with my large dog. It looks youthful and doesnt necessarily scream soccer mom like the larger wagons. My V40 is fully loaded and everyone always comments on the headlight wipers. I love it.
