  v-40 - 2003 Volvo V40
  By Patwest - November 15 - 10:00 am

  It 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.

  Goodbye Old Paint - 2002 Volvo V40
  By Victor the Volvo - July 15 - 11:10 pm

  I just traded in Old Vic aged 98,000 miles. I have read other reviews and found them unappreciative. First, you need never be ashamed to pull up in a Volvo, no matter where, no matter how small. Second, although maintenance wasnt cheap, it was great at my local Volvo Dealer - Coast of Sarasota - very professional and thorough. Third, this car was gas-efficient and capable of carrying a number of dogs, cargo, and other assorted living/inert objects with grace. Fourth, it was comfortable. You sank into the seats, not on top of them. A million organized cubbyholes for all your junk are provided. Its a nice, sane, well- planned ride. Great visibility. I hope you enjoy it.

  By silver bullet - May 28 - 10:00 am

  This is absolutely the smoothest driving automobile ever. Ive driven them all. It is my wifes car. She loves the size since it is easy to park. The miliage is very good. Interior comfort is excellent.

  Fun Car, Safe Car - 2003 Volvo V40
  By Jeremias Gentry - May 14 - 2:00 am

  We 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 am

  Ive 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.

  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

  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.
