I have over 270k on my Volvo and it runs like new. Basically maintenance free all I had to do was an oil change. This car has a broken steering wheel it just kind of falls in your lap but thats fine considering how hard I drive it. This car has had no problems with anything. My only concern is when will Volvo start to profit off there car commercials. Make Volvo top of reliability. my last car was a 940 and it just ran forever. I think it died after 516K yeah 516K how many Toyota are like that? buy this car and you'll love every thing about it. like the safety, reliability, and ride. Volvo has a lot to be remembered for.

I got this S40 as a company car in 06 and liked it so much that when it went off lease I purchased it for personal use. Even with the normally aspired 5 cylinder it has great pickup. The road handing is head and shoulders above Camry, Sable, and Impalas that I have had for company cars. There is a nice road feel with responsive steering yet a not unacceptable ride or noise. After correcting an A/c blower motor that was faulty on delivery, it has been problem free. Now with 4 years and 64K miles, It has been to the shop for A/C compressor replacement and twice for electrical diagnostics which found not problems despite the high $ diagnostics.
I hate this car.

I have a 2006 s40 2.4i volvo. It's got a nice look, but I hate it so much. We bought it used with about 125,000 miles on it. It was a reliable dealer who had very good reviews. The first couple weeks with the car was great, It handles good, is comfortable and has a nice interior. But, after three weeks I've had problem after problem. First the fuel pump broke, while I was on the highway. I was straitened on the highway for a good hour. That was about $1,000 to fix and I didn't have my car for about a week. Then some type of fuel gauge broke a couple of weeks later, causing the CE light to come on. That's about another $600 to fix. Now, the battery and starter broke at the same time. I don't know how much it's going to be to fix it, but I'm not going to be able to drive it for about a week, maybe two. It is an extremely unreliable car. If you want to sink thousands of dollars into a car that might work, this is the car for you.

I was driving an 06 black Volvo s40 2.4i. It had 138k miles and drove like brand new. I loved every second of it. However, one day there was a dog on the freeway in the fast lane. I swerved and couldn't gain control back. I went across five lanes of traffic where I then flipped, all while doing 70. The curtain airbag deployed and I was able to walk away with a small bruise. Needless to say, I went and bought another 06 blue Volvo s40 T5. And I could not be happier. Once a Volvo, always a Volvo. I have not had any issues with the new one. Usual maintenance and what not, gas mileage is at about 24-27 MPG, but not bad for a turbo.
