2001 Volvo S40 2.0T review from Turkey
"We expect better car from Volvo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spare parts are very expensive: RH headlight wiper engine is 300Euros. Automatic transmission fluid is 17 Euros per liter. Also interior plastic mechanisms are not working well. Performance is reduced after 50000 Km because of defective turbo compressor. All bearings are working noisily. We paid 70000 Euros for this car, but we could not find what we expected.
General comments?
Fuel consumption is around 10 Lt/100km. It is good for 170hp engine.
Performance is acceptable. Steering is good except during acceleration.
