Volvos are safe and reliable!

I've had Volvos my whole life and this is one of the best models I have ever had. It has never broken down or had any issues. It drives very smoothly and it can go quite fast. I would highly recommend this model! It feels like it will outlive me!

Very stylish car

This Volvo S40 caught my eye from cars.com and I really enjoy driving it. The gas mileage is ok but the power is pretty good for a small sedan.

Overall Great sedan for the money

The interior is quiet comfortable for avg height person. Friends with long legs wished it had a bit more room. This car handled very well in all conditions. I loved the AWD and turbo. The car was reliable and had avg repair costs. I drove it for three years and had no major complaints with function or design.

Best car I've ever owned

I love it. Bought it used 2 years ago. Nice comfortable ride. Only downfall is parts and maintenance is expensive.
