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.
Good Car, But Getting Expensive

I agree with all of the positives others have written: nice ride, looks good, feels solid, nice features/bells/whistles for the price. However, after owning it now for just shy of 5 years (87,000 miles, bought used with 14k) it's starting to fall apart on me. Have replaced shocks/struts at 73,000 which seems early; put in a new power window motor around 75,000 ($600); the sunroof doesn't close quite all the way and leaks in a car wash sometimes; some small molding is coming apart around the trunk release; the alarm doesn't always turn on when I lock the car. Have done breaks twice now, too. And these repairs are expensive - this isn't a Honda or Toyota. Engine is supposed to be good though!

I have been very happy with my 2000 S40 overall. I bought it brand new in December, 1999. It rides very well, although I think it could use a little more leg room. I've had to have the radio/CD player replaced. Also, the windshield wiper dispenser on the hood leaks, which cause some discoloring on the paint. I bought the very first model her in the US, so I've had several little thinngs occur which have all been under warranty. Lesson learned, I will not buy another Volvo model it's first year in release, or any other car for that matter.
No Longer Happy!

Chose Volvo for safety and supposed longevity. Generally agree with comments of satisfied owners, though have had some of the problems -- lamp bulbs and brake pads. Owned the car for 7 years, yet only 58,000 miles, so expected at least a couple of more years w/o major repairs. Surprise! Last week my wife drove home from work, and upon arrival stated that something was really wrong with the car. Wheels very hot; towed to dealer; week later Volvo area expert determined that ABS pump failed, entire brake system damaged; repair cost $2800. Have followed all recommended servicing; most recent visit no brake problems noted. Dealer service has been very good, yet we will not buy another Volvo!

This a fun car to drive with adequate power and very good gas mileage. Nothing beats Volvo seats for comfort and protection. The radio and air cond. work fine. I like the trip computer and the sunroof. The ride is smooth but a little noisy from the air at the windows. Transmision is generally smooth except when slowing down to a stop. I use regular gas.
