Well balanced car, Nice interiors, Silent cabin for this compact segment. A lot of security features for the money. 2.4i need more power. Suggest T5 for power busters.

Wife just leased a 2006 S40 T5 AWD. I own a 2005 S4 so my opinions may be biased. I was impressed how comfortable the drive is, the smooth handling and 6-speed gearbox, nice acceleration for 218 hp in the lower revs despite the car's weight, broad torque band, simple yet sophisticated interior, decent navigational system, "thud" sound of the closing doors, overall sporty styling.

Too many issues. Mostly electrical, control type problems. In dealership for service far too many times. No reason to do the Volvo experience again

Is it a sin to be in love with your car?

Bought a Barrents Blue 2.4L 5 cyl automatic S40 with black leather interior, climate package, select package, sunroof, 6 disc CD player, etc. I'm in love with this car! Got a great deal from my local Seattle dealer. The salesman was great too: no pressure, easy to work with, gave me all the necessary info to help me make a solid decision, etc. I highly recommend this car. It rides great. It feels safe and well made. The layout of controls is excellent. A buddy has an Audi A4 (way too many of those in Seattle, BTW) and you are overwhelmed with dials, switches, and readouts. The Volvo S40 has a simple yet elegant controls layout. Kudos Volvo engineers! I highly recommend this car.

I have owned my S40 for 5 months now, and I am still completely satisfied with my purchase. It's a great looking car, fun to drive and I feel very safe knowing it's a Volvo. I also get a lot of compliments on it! I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a compact car.
