Bought this car with 80,000 miles and drove it for a little over 3 years untill 100k. My back is still permanently damaged. Worst seats I have ever sat in. Apparently Mitsubishi made volvos interior for this car, this year. Center console armrest, all cup holders, and many random plastic peices broke while in normal use, just came off in my hand. Thousands and thousands of dollars in random various repairs later(note I only drove the car for 20,000 miles while it was young) I sold the car for a fraction of what I bought it for. Okay gas mileage, okay performance, seems to be a reliable car when the whole thing isn't falling apart

First, let me say that I do love my car. It's reliable and safe. The problems that crop up are minor but sometimes annoying. Let me first disagree with some: the armrest is fine, paint is amazing and I don't know what glare they're talking about. That being said, I believe the manual seats could be redesigned, and the cup holder is atrocious. Rear locks do stick. A lot of little nothings. However, it's a blast to drive at speed. It also handles reasonably well and I like the stiff feel. It's also very safe speaking from fender-bender experience. I recommend it as a great college car (when I bought it, anyway).

Fun To Drive If Not In Shop

The car is definitely fun to drive but the minor problems that require it to be in the shop so often is a real nuisance. Examples are fading volume in radio (replaced once but problem is still there), faulty brake and check engine lights, AC makes funny noise, rattling of sideview mirrors at 65mph, replaced all four brakes @20,000 miles, replaced headlights @15,000 miles, etc. This car has only 32K miles and has been in the shop more often than my Geo Prism, which has 160K miles.
Will never buy another Volvo!

Out of the 4 cars I have owned I have had the most trouble with my S40 Volvo. In a 4 yr. period I have paid $8,000 in repair (that includes 1 scheduled maintenance at 80,000 miles but does not include regular oil changes). A few problematic things to mention are shifter broke, radiator hoses, motor mounts catalytic converter, attena stopped working, window stopped working, O2 sensors...the list goes on. I will never buy another Volvo!
a great car for less of money
