2006 Volvo S40 S 40 review from North America

""Volvo For Life" is reality for me"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When picking up your car you must check for chipped paint don't be so excited to leave lot right away I was and noticed chipped paint along the front and back of the car, a helper at the dealership did a touch up with paint. but a week later now that I'm writing this a have notice the paint and windsheild glass is very weak and prone to very annoying chips in the paint and front windshield glass. iv'e been driving a 1995 Volvo 940 for the past 6 years, the paint and windows on that car was much stronger these issues with the 2006 S40 were very unexpected.

General comments?

This is truly a Great Car!,unbelievable braking power, I had to get used to the shoulder checks because blind spots are easy to come by at night if you have the right head rest on the back seat up. Acceleration is amazing and wheels will spin if you apply your foot too quikly. The styling of my 2006 S40 inside and out is a real breakthrough for Volvo.
