2001 S40 Review

We bought a Volvo S40 late 2001. At 12,000 miles, the steering wheel started shaking when braking. Since then the Volvo dealer has replaced the entire braking system 4 times. They even escalated the problem to Volvo headquarters. It was really frustrating for both us and the dealership. I have to admit, the dealership gets an A+ through all of this. They are buying the car back from me, and putting me into a new S60 for my troubles. I have never seen a dealership show concerned with making us happy. Nonetheless, we paid $30k for a car that was in the shop once a month. Which is why they were quick to get me out of the car.

This car and the service from Volvo were absolutely horrible. I had the car for two years and lately it's spending more time in the garage then driving it. As for Volvos cutomer service, they don't know the meaning. The Cutomer Service Depatment asked if we expected them to service all the cars they sell. The service manager said to me "Looking forward to hearing about your next problem". Word of advice don't buy a Volvo. Their slog should be "Volvo for a lifetime of headaches" Also the trade value of a two year old Volvo is extremely low, as I found out when I got rid of the headache for a Fabulous Acura TL. Word of advice Buy an Acura ...

Supposed to be fun, right? The car squeaked for a week. Dealership couldn't find problem. They replaced the brakes, struts, steering column and still couldnt find it. It was discovered that it was a loose bolt, that's all. The A/C needed replaced 2x's Still warm air. The door handle keeps breaking. The driver seat tips forward when you brake and back when you step on the gas (Not so safe, eh?) Dealership has looked at it FIVE times and says nothng is wrong. I've never owned any other car that had a driver seat with a spirit like that. Resale is terrible on this car. Tired of being asked by the Dealership, Will you give us a 10 for service? Just fix the car finally. Then maybe a "10"

Just purchased my S40 as a Certified used car in February. Granted, not alot of time for bad things to happen, but so far, so good. The S40 looks great, drives fabulously and I get tons of compliments.
Great Experience

I was not sure what to expect when I went to test drive S40 in 2002. I thought the engine would be 110-130 horsepower, nothing major inside. Well, guess how surprised I was when i drove it and it felt better than the midsize of any other brand, engine, comfort inside, features everything. I enjoy my car, I have been on numerous road trips and I have always loved them. I would recommend that car to any one. Or maybe try the all-new onw
