  The Best! - 2002 Volvo V40
  By Anna - December 13 - 7:46 am

  I bought this car overseas with American specs. I drove it three times round trip to Italy and back to Brussels, Belgium (over 20 hours drive) and never had a problem. It spacious, reliable and looks great. I do keep it up. I take it only to Volvo for any required check up or parts. The headlights I only had to change them twice but this is normal for any car. I had little problem with the check engine light but it got resolved. Great car and I would buy it again. Rule of thumb: Take it only to Volvo for any problems and you will never have to complain about it.

  Better than you think - 2000 Volvo V40
  By Scott Mathews - July 18 - 12:33 pm

  This is possibly the best Volvo Ive ever owned. Quick, comfortable, and stylish and only minor problems. Many of the issues that others have reported suggest to me that they never opened the owners manual. Example: "headlights burn out annually". The cars come from the factory with Daytime Running Lights (DRL) activated. Naturally the headlights are going to burn out more often when theyre on day and night. Solution: read the owners manual and it tells you how to turn DRL off in 2 easy steps. Some other problems may have been caused by not following Volvos recommended service intervals. I would like to know more about the driving style of folks who wore out their brakes in 15,000 miles!

  This car gives me everything I need: good gas mileage, great cubic space for hauling stuff, comfort, and most particularly, reliability.

  This is a great car! - 2003 Volvo V40

  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.

  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.
