2007 Volvo S40 Road Test Ratings

Much sportier in appearance and driving dynamics than the old S40 model, Volvo's smallest sedan offers interesting styling with a fun-to-drive package.

Solid chassis hampered by rubber-band turbo power delivery. Stability control is standard on all 2007 Volvo S40s, and front-wheel-drive T5 models now come with an automatic transmission only.

Adequate comfort without being floaty.

Good HVAC controls; style-driven interior affects function,

Non-traditional interior design provides an air of quality.
