Volvo S40 96-

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I got an excellent price on it used, especially since it's fully loaded.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Parts can be fairly expensive and it goes through quite a lot of fuel.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Handling is vague and steering is much to light. Easy to predict when cornering but little fun.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    0-30 seems slow but it seems to pick up when you get into 3rd gear. It has enough poke on motorways and the like.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I have never been let down by this car.

    The CD is fully loaded with leather seats and the like making it look sweet.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very comfortable.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Never been nicked, and it's been left in dodgy areas.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Not great.
