Better than you think

This is possibly the best Volvo I've ever owned. Quick, comfortable, and stylish and only minor problems. Many of the issues that others have reported suggest to me that they never opened the owner's manual. Example: "headlights burn out annually". The cars come from the factory with Daytime Running Lights (DRL) activated. Naturally the headlights are going to burn out more often when they're on day and night. Solution: read the owner's manual and it tells you how to turn DRL off in 2 easy steps. Some other problems may have been caused by not following Volvo's recommended service intervals. I would like to know more about the driving style of folks who wore out their brakes in 15,000 miles!

Our v40 now has 65,000 miles on it. The headlights do burn out about once a year as they are always running. Small price to pay for the increased saftey. The car is fun to drive, quite fast, TONS of room and built like a tank. If safety is a concern this is a good car.

This is truly the best looking wagon around. If only Volvo could make the larger ones look this good. We bought this wagon because of its safety. Not just side air bags but Head protection air bags. Built in booster seats let me know that Volvo thinks of the kids too. The fit and finish is top notch. I drove this car across country and loved it. The front seat fit just right. With the turbo the engine didn't know it was above 14,000ft.

A great compact wagon with a handling ability as good as my BMW but much less costly. Good visibility, good seat adjustment, zippy in "sport" mode and I get about 26-27 mpg/ on the road. 22 mpg in the city. Uses 89 octane gas. My 2000 v40 people think is a new one.
