I've had a 2000 V40 since 10/99, and haven't experienced any of the problems described by an earlier reviewer. In fact, the car's excellent handling and brakes have already saved my life a few times. This is our family's seventh Volvo in about 30 years; each has lasted at least ten years. We just sold our still-running '84 240.

This car is about to be the worst car I ever owned. It has had numerous problems with headlight burnout-8 times, engine mounts worn out, turbo gasket leak, it now stalls frequently, the brakes last about 30K, and this is with proper maintenance.

The $15k I've spent on my 2000 V40 (purchase price plus repairs) means nothing at trade-in time, apparently because there is no demand for this model at the auctions where dealers wholesale cars. At best, I'm being offered one-quarter of my cash outlay. Also, buyers should be prepared to have a lot of expensive things break by 100k miles. My dealer told me today that he was recently driving through a scary part of Washington, DC in a similar S40 sedan when the Mitsubishi-built transmission simply failed completely at a stoplight, something he had never experienced with even the oldest Volvos. I'm going back to a 1996 Volvo 850 GLT--if I can get enought trade from my V40 to cover some of it!

Three months after purchase, went to use car and found it had no power. Had Volvo Roadside tow it to dealer. Battery recharged. Now after 14 additional months, same problem. Dealer service replaced battery; found a bad cell. Also, told me brake pads soon need replacing, mileage now at 11,500 miles, $135;is typical to replace at 15,000! Called Volvo Consumer hotline. Indeed, the materials used in the brake pads wear quickly. No warranty coverage. I rate this most poorly with regard for the reputation the Volvo name seems to promote.
Great
