Great so far!
This car is in very good condition even though it's 13 years old. We just got it in our possession yesterday since it still needed detailed but it is a great little car so far.

Great longevity
Car has been very reliable and dependable. It does have the typical Volvo sunroof drain issue that needs to be addressed annually or else you will have a pool of water in your footwell. Went thru drivers side bearings more than usual but truly that's about it. Fantastic reliability and safety.

Drives better than most modern compact sedans
Car drives great, more than adequate power. Pretty good on gas. Nice torque hills are not an issue. Only selling because I own 2 others.

Efficient, safe and sporty
Fun and value for the money, would recommend and buy this model again. Missing a Bluetooth feature but overall can’t find much else to want except no pins in the floor for mats.

Worst car ever owned
xxxx car. 2.0 disel. I the first moth the dor sensors broke, indicating all dors open all the time. In the fift month the pump for the stearing blew. The plate that closes the intake at shot down got stuck twise, had to have it fixed at the dealerahip. Ac broke. Alternator finished. The flywheel leaked silocon in the clutch and destroied everytjing in there. All this happend in 3 years. Newer buing a Volvo again. And the dealership was just xxxx all the time. I had loud noices at start up sometimes, and sommetimes a real hard shut down. Had them have a look and they found nothing. They did not put this in the log book so when the clutch went they told me no it was not theyr resposability.

The best vehicle I?ve ever owned
I love my S40. I bought it with a manual transmission and all wheel drive and I don?t regret it at all. The engine is responsive and quick, the car has loads of torque across the entire rev range, and the turbo is quick. The chassis is firm. There?s almost no body roll or chassis movements over bumps and potholes. The all wheel drive system along with Volvo safety tech allows me to drive normal roadway speeds in snowy or wet conditions. The interior is minimalistic and well laid out with extremely comfortable seats. I absolutely love this car.

Very Reliable, Understated Style
This car has been very reliable and can make it through all conditions. The AWD, great balance, and overall handling make it unstoppable through all winter conditions and fun to drive in warmer weather.

One Owner, 100% Volvo-Serviced S40 T5, $4,900
This is an excellent. inexpensive, reliable , safe Volvo. It has been owned for the past 10 years by my 84-year-old Mother in Derry, NH. She had it serviced at the dealership where she bought it (Exeter, NH) the entire time. We recently replaced two tires and put in a new battery. The T5 version of the S40 has great pickup and handling, as well as the usual Volvo weight and solid, safe construction and multiple airbags.
