  This is a great car! - 2003 Volvo V40
  By isabelle - February 13 - 2:00 am

  What 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 am

  I 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 am

  We 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.

  V40 - the most safety family car - 2001 Volvo V40
  By mtkadlec - November 14 - 2:00 am

  2001 facelifting is good for driving performance and behavior on the road (only 2wheel drive!) with automatic gearbox - not lazy, but not speedy as well - the best wagon for family or seniors

  DO NOT buy this model... EVER - 2000 Volvo V40
  By Cynthia - September 14 - 5:13 am

  I have had nothing but major headaches with this vehicle ever since the 5 yr/50,000 mi. warranty expired. From O2 sensor problems, faulty engine mounts,transmission replacement at 80,000 mi., several brake pad kits, fuel regulator, battery, constant alignments, gaskets/seals,timing belt. The cupholder broke in first 3 months,as did armrest, front wipers, moonroof and passenger side mirror- I have had to spend more money on this car than I ever did on my Toyota Camry in 15 years of life. Either I got a lemon, or this is the worst car ever designed. Just skip Volvo altogether- Its expensive and not what it used to be

  No Regrets - 2003 Volvo V40
  By biohazard6161 - August 26 - 2:00 am

  We 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.

  Love my Volvo Wagon - 2000 Volvo V40
  By Leah M - August 5 - 8:43 am

  I love this wagon and sadly now looking at having to replace it soon. I drive a lot, have over 208,000 miles, and have had three to four minor crashes in this car. However, I have never been injured and walked away fine. Three times I have been rear ended and the next day, no neck pain or injury, I felt nothing. The first time I found out the frame was bent from the impact! This has been a great car for driving and on gas mileage, with a few issues, but overall I love it and it has served me well.

  V40 - 2004 Volvo V40
  By fjpost - June 11 - 10:00 am

  Its really a great car, though it is a bit tight. The new model promises to be bigger. Its a wonderful drive and basically, bought off lease, the same price as a Honda Accord or new Civic. It has more style and zoom however, and a really excellent warrantly (100,000).
