  Great car. Would like more room. - 2003 Volvo V40
  By DBK - January 28 - 2:50 pm

  I really love this car. It handles beautifully. The safety components (that are standard on all Volvos are very rare on other cars. Great heating/ac system and thermostat. Had some problems with the back latch. Other than that, the car has been reliable and very enjoyable to drive.

  buy one - 2000 Volvo V40
  By dobbins - December 12 - 2:00 am

  A great compact wagon with a handling ability as good as my BMW but much less costly. Good visibility, good seat adjustment, zippy in "sport" mode and I get about 26-27 mpg/ on the road. 22 mpg in the city. Uses 89 octane gas. My 2000 v40 people think is a new one.

  Excellent sports wagon~! - 2001 Volvo V40
  By SoJung & Michael - November 12 - 10:00 am

  The Volvo V40 sports wagon is an incredible package that looks great, runs smooth, and handles all the twistie curves which performance driving demands. The interior is comfortable for both driver and front passenger. The rear seats are adequate. Cargo area has safety net, variable belt fixtures and cover for hiding cargo. And of course it is Volvo safe to protect your most precious cargo, YOU and your loved ones.

  Still Kicking - 2001 Volvo V40
  By Brian - October 30 - 2:16 pm

  I just turned over 200,000 kms and the V40 is still performing deciently. Noticeable interior creaks and squeaks recently but nothing the stock sound system can handle. My V40 is my office and it still handles great. My only complaint is the cost of servicing this vehicle. Without doubt the most expensive car I have ever owned for regular maintenance. Beware.

  Consultants Car - 2004 Volvo V40
  By SRH - August 6 - 1:53 am

  This was our first Volvo purchase. We wanted a car that was safe, but fuel efficient. We also wanted a car that was flexible enough to be both our family car, but also a respectable car to be driven for my consulting work. The V40 fit the bill. I have to drive both short distances in city traffic as well as long distances on highways and the V40 handles both nicely. Four years later I still love my car. I would buy another.

  Very happy Volvo owner - 2002 Volvo V40
  By jk - April 24 - 11:36 pm

  This is my first Volvo, and I bought it used two years ago. It replaced a Honda Civic. So thats the car to which I compare my V40. As noted, I bought the car two years ago. I havent replaced a headlight yet. The windshield does need to be replaced, but living in Wyoming means high winds and sanded roads will affect a windshield negatively. I wish the fuel economy were better, but who doesnt? The cargo room is just about perfect. The seats are comfortable, and the ride is very quiet. (Perhaps its my tires.) In fact, given the choice between taking our newer Subaru or the Volvo on a 2,000 mile round trip road trip, we decided on the Volvo. This wont be my last Volvo!

  good car for the money - 2003 Volvo V40
  By jimg - February 16 - 2:00 am

  I like the car very much I put around 65,000km a year The operating costs is low for a car from across the pond I will keep it for three years and move to a larger version though.. this car is fantastic in the city but lacks weight in the country roads
