I have put so much money in the front end of this car since I got it it's not even funny I've had two CV axles replaced I've had ball joints replaced I got tie rods replaced I've had the axle shaft replaced I've had the struts and mounts replaced I had the starter replaced twice I've had the headlight bulbs replace twice I don't like its become a money pit!! I would also like to mention that the electronics on my dashboard like for your fan Etc my emergency lights none of that works properly the dial for turning down your fan doesn't work and when I push the emergency lights button it won't turn back off have to beat it to turn back off I would never buy another car like this I don't know why I did in the first place buyers beware!!!

I just turned over 200,000 km's and the V40 is still performing deciently. Noticeable interior creaks and squeaks recently but nothing the stock sound system can handle. My V40 is my office and it still handles great. My only complaint is the cost of servicing this vehicle. Without doubt the most expensive car I have ever owned for regular maintenance. Beware.

Purchased used at a great value and haven't been disappointed, yet. Other than regular maintenance, the car has performed great. It's sporty, holds bikes and snowboards on top, enough room for moderate luggage load in the rear - if not a bit tight in the rear seats, though. Comfortable ride, but not the best on long trips. Austere interior is perfect - I prefer minimal and simple interior gadgets/knobs. Misses would include black bumper trim pieces fading and the replacement of the fascia cup holder which I completed myself. I've also replaced the front strut mounts 3 times due to potholes and rough roads. The turbo is quick and a great asset for both city and motorway take-overs.
Quality, Safety, and A Whole Lot of Fun!

We purchased this Volvo because we needed something with a little hauling room, but wanted something that would protect us in case of an accident. Face it, you don't get any safer than Volvo! The V40 is a great deal -- 90% of the length of the V70 but about 60% of the price. So we knew we'd get safety, but what about reliability, comfort and that fun factor? We're thrilled to say we found them all in our V40. It's so solid, you feel like you're in a Volvo as opposed to some mid-range car, it's sporty with really great pickup (thanks to the turbo), and the seats are the most comfortable I've ever encountered in a car. After 14 months, we couldn't be happier.

This car gives me everything I need: good gas mileage, great cubic space for hauling stuff, comfort, and most particularly, reliability.
