2006 Volvo S40 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windows rattle while driving over bumps (very annoying).
Key errors; the car doesn't start, you need to try a second or third time.
Air conditioning is faulty. 23-25 degrees Celsius blows cold air, have to turn it up to 28 degrees Celsius to feel warm air 80% of the time now. (even after I just brought it in for a repair)
Seat memory doesn't work, but the reclining and back/forward adjustments still do.
General comments?
Losing faith in in the new electronic features of the new Volvos, but I still have faith in the safety and reliability.
