Volvo V40 1.9 T4 5d Auto (1998/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good value for money. Recommend buying second-hand to let someone else get stung for the extras.
Costs
Spares are quite expensive and it is a little bit thirsty.

On the road
Driving
I love this car to drive. If just a little furtive in the wet.
Performance
When you hit 3500rpm and the turbo cuts in, what can I say.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Hasn't let me down yet, although super unleaded doesn't seem to agree with it to much.
Image
As I'm in my early thirties, was asked if my next purchase would be a flat cap and some driving gloves.
Comfort
No problems with comfort.

Security and Service
Security
As with all Volvos, security and safety seem to be high their agendas, not really had cause to question it.
Service
Haven't had to use manufacturer really to be able to comment.
