  New-to-Me Volvo - 2001 Volvo V40
  By Madison - May 22 - 10:00 am

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

  A sexy highway cruiser - 2001 Volvo V40
  By Diren Yardimli - August 2 - 1:40 pm

  The V40 is not the station we have come to expect from Volvo. Its neither as masculin nor as bricky as a conventional Volvo (which made me think twice before buying it). Yet the design is slim, clean and as sexy as can be for a station wagon. Its seats embraces you, its steering is solid and secure, its engine sounds confident. Neither the sporthy whiiim, not the cheap sound of most commercial engines. On the road it easily glides through the traffic, easily reaches 200 km/h (even though the official max. speed is 195 for the 1.8).

  Quality, Safety, and A Whole Lot of Fun! - 2001 Volvo V40
  By volvolover - April 2 - 10:00 am

  We purchased this Volvo because we needed something with a little hauling room, but wanted something that would protect us in case of an accident. Face it, you dont get any safer than Volvo! The V40 is a great deal -- 90% of the length of the V70 but about 60% of the price. So we knew wed get safety, but what about reliability, comfort and that fun factor? Were thrilled to say we found them all in our V40. Its so solid, you feel like youre in a Volvo as opposed to some mid-range car, its sporty with really great pickup (thanks to the turbo), and the seats are the most comfortable Ive ever encountered in a car. After 14 months, we couldnt be happier.

  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.

  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 love it after a year - 2001 Volvo V40
  By jfalley - November 27 - 2:00 am

  I am single, travel (for fun) alot and love this wagon. I have 2 dogs, and there is plenty of room for the standard fair for one person. 2 people with all the equipment to snowboard gets full but still has rear vision through the vehicle, have done 3 people and I dont recomend it, the back seat is tight (real tight)if the front is set for the comfort of a 6 foot tall person. Rear seat is for kids only, but that is how you get the good milage, perfect for me.
