The back seats fold flat giving huge space in back! 2 GSD's (big german shephard dogs) LOVE riding in back. (Windows not droolproof.) Gorgeous paint 10yrs outside parked. GREAT acceleration from 5 cyl engine... MORE than enough. Turbo feeling but not a turbo. Go figure. Large comfortable for 5'8" person. Tall guy (6'2") hates it. (No worries he wants to drive it.) Easy in and out (somehow??) Great MPG. Feel safe inside. Take good care of it and it will reciprocate!

I bought the car from my son. Fun to drive great handling, peppy, rides firm like most sports cars. Great mpg. Very few mechanical issues. Visually impressive lines.

This the first Volvo I bought, I've wanted one since I was 19 yrs old,mainly because of the safety features and durability. I get about 27/29 MPG which was about the same as my Honda Accord, which was only a 4 cyl engine. The seats are very comfortable,and the standard equip is great. I wanted a sports car, but after driving the S40 it proved to have the tight suspension that I wanted,but the comfort I needed and it had back seat in case we needed it. My husband was a Ford man and after he drove my car home, he wanted one, so 5 days later we went back and bought another one. We are very pleased so far.
In Love With my Volvo

This is the first Volvo I have ever owned. People are often surprised when, at 26 years old, I tell them I purchased a Volvo - that is, until they see it. The Volvo name may carry the stigma of an "old person's car", but one look at the sleek design instantly extinguishes that thought. My black on black S40 turns heads and evokes positive reactions from family, friends, and co-workers. My expectations have been surpassed with this excellent vehicle.
