S40
I FIND THIS TO BE AN EXCELLENT VEHICLE FOR THE PRICE. DRIVING IS FUN AND VERY QUICK. I AM ALSO PLEASED WITH THE SAFETY FEATURES, IN PARTICULAR, THE WHIPLASH PROTECTION SYSTEM AND 6 AIRBAGS.
Nice little car
Had this car for 2 years and have no major complaints (except the check engine light - I got it fixed at the dealership when I received a notice from Volvo a few months ago). Excellent acceleration, good build quality and reliability. I frequently take this car on long trips and have great fun driving it.

disapointed
Having no previous experience in leasing I have been talked into a lease at $ 369/month for four years and 2000 down. Comparing it to $299/month that someone else on this list is getting it seems very high. Have I been taken? Also the ride is very tough : feels like grinding the texture of the road. On highway I feel like jumping up and down as if in a toy car. Nothing like the smooth ride on my old Honda Accord.
Not so Happy
I have replaced brakes at 12,000 miles, and was told by volvo this is normal. Light bulbs are constantly out amd head and tail lights are also constantly going out. Many idiot lights coming on on the dash board. Great car to drive, but very quirky, and has been to the dealer for service on a monthly basis. I would not recommend.
2002 Volvo S40
I picked up my S40 last week and so far, so good. The only complaints I have are only so/so gas mileage (compared to my previous car, anyway), the box on the center console is about 1/4 inch too small to put CD cases into and the radio reception is not great (my car came with the upgraded stereo with CD).
