  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.

  Performance wagon? - 2002 Volvo V40
  By Volvoowner - April 26 - 10:00 am

  Very happy with this car. Bought it right before a long road trip with my with. Plenty of room in the folding rear area for two weeks worth of camping gear. Highway ride was very smooth, and engine provided plenty of power for entrance ramps and passing. Cabin is very quiet, similar to much more expensive luxury cars. Leather seats are very supportive, but could use a little extra bolstering. The (upgraded) sound system is awesome!! Averaged better than 32 miles to the gallon over 1200 highway miles. Overall, fun car to drive, great safety features, comfortable and practical.

  This is not the 144 my dad drives - 2002 Volvo V40
  By guy.sherr - September 25 - 10:00 am

  V40 rides very quiet. The difference between windows open and closed is just jaw dropping. Seating is comfortable, nice appointments, excellent finishing. 1.9L turbo accelerates strongly into traffic, although a little slowly with the A/C on. Mileage, windows up and A/C, highway was about 31.8 on cruise control in hilly terrain. Handling is good for a wagon. Swerves dont alter the lean much, and the car feels ready to turn at speed. Overall is well crafted and toughly engineered. This car may well outlast the oil reserves.

  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.

  This car is perfect...form, function. The best part is that its not a flashy car.. Because there arent too many on the road, it looks fresh.

  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!

  Happy, so far... - 2002 Volvo V40
  By slick - July 1 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my V40 for just over a year now and Ive been happy with it. I havent had any problems with it. I ended up with it because the sales people at the mercedes dealership next door(owned by the same company)didnt give me the time of day (I was wearing jeans and a t-shirt).
