1998 Volvo S40 SE review from UK and Ireland
"A 145mph flying tank"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong so far.
General comments?
This car will eat Subaru's for breakfast.
The car feels solidly built, has stunning performance for just 1855 cc's and reasonable fuel economy for the performance.
I have yet to test the full potential of this car.
