This was my first car-- so excited to have a safe and reliable car. Little did I know it would cost me THOUSANDS in credit card debt to maintain it. My headlights burn out in a couple of months, the CEL NEVER shuts off, the windshield wipers need to be replaced frequently (courtesy of New England weather). I spend all of my money on Volvo Techs diagnosing my problems, fixing them, and then finding a new one the next day. It's really been a nightmare- if anyone has any advice, I would love to hear it.
Disappointed

Bought this car because I thought Volvo would make the smoothest driving, most reliable car out there. Not exactly true. I have had to replace the engine block, rear brakes, and headlights. Had to fix minor repairs to windows, visor mirror and many rattles. This model's interior is not very convenient - cup holder and window controls. Also, just had a baby and car seat barely fits. Trading it in for something bigger.

I've owned my S40 since March of 2000. Since owning it I've replaced the brakes every 10,000 miles give or take a few, the bulbs are constantly burning out, the front cup holder blocks the stereo, I get poor gas mileage, and it seems to be in the shop all of the time. On the upside, the seats are comfy for a car it's size, and it has a peppy engine, and it's relatively fun to drive. Priced with options, it can run fairly expensive. Sorry Volvo, you need some work on this little one.
A Mistake

One thing after another. I have had the care for 2 years, and have spent over $3000 on repairs. Every time I think I'm done, something else comes up. Like everyone else, the headlights burn out fast. Looks like most people say their S40 is fast, but mine is sluggish and I can't figure out how the Turbo works. It seems random. I just had to replace the an axle and all motor mounts ($1900). Bad sensors. Check engine light will not go off... Replacement parts are expensive and hard to find. I am selling it, regardless of my loss, and buying a new Civic.

I was so sad to read all the bad reviews of the volvo s40's. My 2000 s40 has been wonderful! I have changed the oil, brakes, tires and battery and that is it!! This car has been great to me! My car has 95,000 miles and still runs great!
