1999 Volvo V40 review from UK and Ireland
"Good engined family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed two new rear windscreens after failure of the heater element. This was covered by the warranty.
Remote central locking has failed on three occasions. This was also covered by the warranty.
General comments?
The car is extremely poor for all round vision of the road. Large window stanchions make visibility very low.
