We have a limited number of reviews for the 2001 V40, so we've included reviews for other years of the V40 since its last redesign.
Great car with a few faults.

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.
LOVE my 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.

Headlights burn out annually. Rear wheel alignment was needed to stop tire burn. Original equipment tire model not stocked locally, had to special order from TX, twice (replaced all 4 at 19,000 mi). Turbo exhaust seal started leaking at 25,000. Leather steering wheel melted and had to be replaced. Steering wheel squeak required replacement of steering rack. Low hum vibration when stopped in gear (suspect motor mount?). Brake service frequent, but this is to be expected with Volvo's. All this sounds bad, however dealer and factory have been generally great in standing behind their product.

Brakes done X4, and the brake warning light is on AGAIN! You can bet the headlight bulbs will burn out in 12 months (each side exactly 30 days apart). Motormount vibration at idle/stop is excessive. Turbo gasket is leaking. Finish is wearing off the steering wheel. Overall, the car drives well, and is good on gas when on highway; not so good in town. Brake and tires have been disappointing. A bit small inside. The price for a Volvo was attractive, but the downtime for repairs has been unacceptable. Back to Lexus for the next one.
