Such a disappointment

I bought this car used in impeccable shape, it had 130,000 miles on it but looked and drove like it was brand new. I would have easily bet it would have gone another 100000 miles before I had any trouble with it . The previous owners took really good care of it changing everything recommended at recommended time. They logged it all down in the maintenance book. Even down to the windshield wiper replacement. It overheated once on my way home from work but warned me ahead of time & told me to pull over before it died. I put a bottle of water in it to get me home as that was all I had with me. Filled it up at home and drove for a co. More weeks before it did it again only this time it stalled and wouldn’t restart. Had to get it towed & found out the heads were cracked even though you couldn’t see it . Do you think a replacement head for that car is easy to find . Especially because we now can only afford to buy a used one. Going to have to replace motor in order to make it usable . Very disappointing . Broke down way too easy

I have purchased a Volvo s40 sedan White. I am a casual commuter who does not abuse my car at all. I do full recommended service from Volvo, which costs around $200 - $500 per recommended service. Within 1 year, my car had following problem: 1. Sudden electrical malfunction 2. Sudden deterioration of ride 3. Engine started to make noises and rpm was going up and down by itself 4. Finally, car did not start when it was 11 month old and had about 15,000k on it. These guys never respond to your complaints. So upset with this car and company. Do not buy this car!

I love this car! I picked it up at the factory in Sweden (a fantastic deal that I would recommend to all), and drove it through Denmark, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Austria. It is stable as a rock at any speed (my son pushed it up to 110 on the autobahn), handles responsively, accelerates acceptably, and has good fuel economy. My onboard computer says I am getting 28.2 mpg overall, which I think is quite good. I consider it to be a BMW 328 for 10K less. (Yes, the BMW is superior in handling and acceleration.) The factory pickup experience was so fun that I may never buy a car any other way.
