The coolest piece of garbage on the roads today

We have owned the car for 3 years. It comes from a 1-Owner, well-maintained family. While we do not do our service at the dealer, all of the maintenance is done locally with a well-rounded technician or mechanic. In the 3 years we have owned it, we have poured well over double what we paid for the car ($5000). Motor mount, spark plugs, coil packs, gas cap, headliner, front outlet, headlights, interior door panels, high mounted brake light, and many....many....MANY...more items. This car is super safe, and has incredible A/C and Heat, and the sound system ROCKS. Its gas mileage is nothing impressive, and the amount of effort this thing takes to run at highway speeds, you might need earplugs. If you are looking for a car the keeps you on your toes, best friends with the dealer and autopart stores, and potentially ending your marriage over the argument of buying it, then this car is for you!

A mistake

The problems since I've owned the car: the light under the driver side mirror has fallen out 3 times, stereo stops working and has been replaced twice, leather seats are cracking, brakes squeal in reverse, headlights gone bad, interior rattles that cannot be found/fixed by dealer, random interior parts falling off, and I just was informed today by the dealer that my front right axle has to be replaced. This is the second S40 I've owned, the first being a 2004. Never again will I buy a Volvo. The car has been in the shop 18 times. I strongly urge anyone considering this car to think twice. Volvo's safety reputation doesn't matter these days when a Honda gets 5 stars also, buy a reliable car.

Nice Car, Terrible Manufacture service

I enjoy my 2007 S40 and purchased it due to extended warranty. I have had the same repetitive problems with "bad batteries" twice in 3 years. Volvo has done nothing to identify the problem other than make me pay for new batteries. Since the original was under manufactures warranty the replacement's warranty was null and void, therefore the bills on me. Manufacture did nothing to further look into problem, or recognize the product default. I am sure I will be reposting again in another year with the same issue! Buy with caution!

This is my third Volvo. Same color and same engine. So far everything is great. The transmission adapts to the driver (like a fitted baseball glove) I was concerned about what to do after the warranty expires. I can't think of another car that i could get in and feel as excited as i do for the price that i paid, no matter where my destination may be...work, gym, roadtrip, or out to dinner. I don't think this car will ever look outdated. Auto body shop personnel have said great things. Extended VIP warranty is available but only before the orginal warranty expires.

Had this car for 130k miles since new. Been very reliable with A/C compressor the only thing to break and now consumes oil. The car seems to be made to tighter tolerances than other cars.
