  Great Long-Term Value - 2001 Volvo V40
  By Joey - January 2 - 4:46 pm

  Purchased used at a great value and havent been disappointed, yet. Other than regular maintenance, the car has performed great. Its sporty, holds bikes and snowboards on top, enough room for moderate luggage load in the rear - if not a bit tight in the rear seats, though. Comfortable ride, but not the best on long trips. Austere interior is perfect - I prefer minimal and simple interior gadgets/knobs. Misses would include black bumper trim pieces fading and the replacement of the fascia cup holder which I completed myself. Ive also replaced the front strut mounts 3 times due to potholes and rough roads. The turbo is quick and a great asset for both city and motorway take-overs.

  What a peppy wagon! - 2000 Volvo V40
  By NiceVolvo - January 1 - 10:00 am

  A truly sporty little wagon. The turbo gives it the kick of a V6. Handling is superb – I can not believe it’s a wagon. No wimpy alarm for this car, it’s high pitch definitely gets attention. The leather seats, butt warmers and automatic climate controls are an added bonus. Nice Job Volvo

  2001 Volvo V40 - 2001 Volvo V40

  My Corolla was totaled while parked on the street (who could have foreseen that?!), so in replacing it I was thinking safety, which the V40 has in droves (save for stability control, which was reserved for $40K cars in 2001). The V40 has turned out to be an ideal compromise between all the things I want in a car. While it doesnt excel in any one category (except for safety and comfort, Volvos trademarks), the V40 does everything pretty darn well! You dont have to trade efficiency for performance, you get both at above average levels. Same for size vs. cargo space, handling vs. ride; all the places where you expect to give up one thing to get another. Handles everything you throw at it.

  Very Pleased - 2003 Volvo V40
  By tdtg72 - July 13 - 2:00 am

  I 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.

  This car is perfect...form, function. The best part is that its not a flashy car.. Because there arent too many on the road, it looks fresh.

  Nice little wagon - 2000 Volvo V40
  By ddelise - March 25 - 10:00 am

  This is a nice little wagon. It is kind of small on the inside, especially with a baby car seat. But the car is quick, good looking, and fun to drive. If it were a little bigger, it would be perfect.

  Buy a BMW or Audi instead - 2004 Volvo V40
  By George M - March 22 - 10:00 am

  We purchased this car recently...back brake pads needed to be replaced, it is a common problem according to the service people at the dealer but they refused to cover under warranty. The paint on the car is very soft and scratches very easily. Overall is an okay car, not worth the money. It is our fist and last Volvo, customer service is a joke! Dont buy this car, the BMW is going to be our next mini wagon, a much more solid car that only costs a few thousand dollars more.

  An absolute steal! - 2003 Volvo V40
  By JTK - March 8 - 2:00 am

  Just picked up a new, fully loaded 2003 V40 a few days ago after doing extensive online research of smaller, upscale wagons. Feature wise (on paper), the V40 is by far the best value going vs. other upscale smaller wagons, such as the BMW 3-series and Audi A4A Avant. After our first hundred miles or so driving the car, its clear this car doesnt miss a step vs. the competition. Especially with the current incentives. Its almost too good to be true.

  Love My Swedish Souvenir - 2003 Volvo V40
  By Reina - February 24 - 10:00 am

  My car has been great so far! Its a smooth, comfortable ride thats nicely equipped and offers good fuel economy-- especially highway. Cozy drivers seat too. And at $24K (including the Premium Package, Climate Package and a week-long trip to Sweden and London) the deal through the OVERSEAS DELIVERY program was beyond fair--and a fun experience!
