2001 Volvo V40 Europe review from Netherlands
"Attractive and stylish estate"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a problem with the fuel pump that caused the engine to stop on the most inconvenient moments. Had to be replaced. This was a common problem on all 1.9D 115bhp engines.
General comments?
This is one of the most attractive estates on the market. Not a big and lumpy car, but a sleek design. Comfortable and stylish. And giving priority on the highways here as well.
