  The worst car I ever purchased - 2002 Volvo V40
  By MICHELE - February 6 - 10:00 am

  Every time you turn around there is another problem. My car has been serviced monthly for a variety of problems from AC malfunctioning, to the check engine light, and I am on my forth set of headlights! ENOUGH SAID!

  Disappointing - 2002 Volvo V40
  By arcin69 - June 17 - 10:00 am

  Car has been mechanically reliable but disapointing otherwise. Seatings and cabin are uncomfortable. Controls not ergonomically designed. Power seat controls replaced at 15,000 miles. Windshield cracked with the slightest touch of a speck. Found out later , Volvo has a reputation for windshields easily cracked but expensive to replace. Leather on seats permanently deformed from leaving a book on the seat. Wont but it after lease turn in.

  V40 is terribly unreliable - 2002 Volvo V40
  By Frustrated V40 Owner - August 23 - 2:00 am

  Great looking car -- too small to be useful for my family. BUT -- this is the least reliable vehicle I have owned in my life -- air mass meter replaced, cruise control replaced three times, front control arms and ball joints replaced after 20,000KM, numerous squeaks and rattles. Avoid this vehicle at all costs.

  Vord not what Expected from the Swedes - 2002 Volvo V40
  By arad - August 6 - 7:56 pm

  I loved this car when I bought it. I believed in the Volvo reputation of long-life and reliability. Honestly, I thought Id found my match for life. It handled well and was very comfortable. Had this car for about a year before experiencing major problems with overheating. Dealership repair visits 4x over the next year until, at 112K mi, the vehicle overheated one last time, the head gasket blew out and the turbo charger wanked. $5000 in repairs! If you can find one of these cars still on the road, Id be surprised. I havent seen one in about 1 1/2 years. You might not see it in the dark though, because they burn through lamps like crazy. Also, expect to replace brakes frequently.

  Im driving a Vord - 2002 Volvo V40
  By Vord owner - September 30 - 2:00 am

  The good is overshadowed by the bad: Brakes @ 15K miles, windshield @ 12K, cruise control / headlights @ 24K, tires @ 25K. Worst was thermostat @ 25K. Dealer flushed the system to find "peanut butter" like substance. Dealer says this is "bars leaks" (never heard of it). Dealer says this was added and is reason for thermostat failure. The car has been serviced by 3 volvo dealers only! All deny adding this. It could impact the radiator, new thermostat, and my warranty. Volvo of North America will do nothing! From my experience with the manufacturer, dealer, and car its clear that I bought a Vord. Stay away from this vehicle, it will only disappoint you.
