V40 - the most safety family car

2001 facelifting is good for driving performance and behavior on the road (only 2wheel drive!) with automatic gearbox - not lazy, but not speedy as well - the best wagon for family or seniors

Bought the v40 w/30K last year and I have been happy w/it since. I've had only 1 major problem since I owned it but it was covered by the warrenty (steering). The prev. owner had replaced the rear rotors (again..warrenty item)IMO, The v40 has good initial acceleration due the minimal turbo lag and the ride quality is great. I wish the car came w/a strut tower and 15/16in rims because taking on windy roads can get a bit scary. Rear seat room is tight(made for kids), internal components break easily(cup holder, etc), and styling is a bit plain(I added roof rails, rear spoiler,& mud flaps). overall, I love the car

Responsive and full of power (AC reduces this substantially though). Comfortable bucket seats, great sounding manufacturer's audio/CD. Truly have enjoyed this car. Faults: environmentally friendly brake pads need replacing annually!! Also had chronic defects in electronic driver seat adjuster. No problems with engine in 4 years. I highly recommend it. New V50 replaces it in 2004.

When the price of gas when up crazy, I decided to trade my Nissan pathfinder. With two young kids 2 and 4 i needed some space! For the price of my Pathfnider LE 2000 I found this Volvo V40 2001... I just love it, With full leather interior, good space, great performance, I really don't miss my pathfinder. I just fell in love with Volvo. I would recommand this car to anyone. Reliability... only have the car for 4 months... So far So good
