So here I looked at all these reviews before buying the car, I thought "Man I wonder if these people are right.." But got the car anyway. It's a day later, and already I have to replace all fluids, flush everything, buy a new water pump, and replace the timing belt. The car has been perfectly kept before me, and only has 90,000 miles on it. Yet, I still find myself burning a hole in my pocket. Do Not Get This Car - Or you'll make the same mistake I did.
A little pricey, IMHO.

Overall it's been a reliable, fun little car. I've read some of the horror stories from other reviews, I haven't experienced any of these. I bought the S40 and a Cross Country the same day. Volvo of Pleasanton, CA has a great sales stff but go elsewhere for service, trust me! The only problem I've had with the car is the shift-lock mechanism getting stuck.

Paint flecking off. Paint scratches easily. Freshly shampooed hair stains the interior. Some kind of coating on interior knobs is coming off and they are sticky. Lightbulbs inside and outside of car are forever going out. Steering rack replaced twice. Air condition will blow hot or cold high and low whenever it feels like it. Check engine light is always on. Problems with the radio. Cruise control works when it feels like it. Console lid is broken. Front cup holder is a joke. Overall do not buy this car! The parts for this car are way over priced.
what a ride!!!!!!!!

Bought my 01 s40 with 25k on it in 06. Inow have 123k. This car has been my favorite car. It's sweet looking, comfortable, fast as well u know. I average 35 mpg I use moble 1,93 octan and perform maintenance as suggested. I have had only one problem and it was my fault. I had to replace the fuel pressure regulator. I kept loading my fuel lines before starting the car. It was not expensive to replace at all just a couple hundred bucks at the dealer. Love this car I want one for every day of the week.

This vehicle will cost you oodles in maintenance costs. You will need rear brake pads every 12K-15K miles ($178), and front pads every 25K-30K miles. That means with every scheduled service you can add at least $180 extra for brake pads. Very disappointing! Also, headlamp burned out at 15K miles, and need to take the battery out to replace the bulb!
