2000 Volvo S40 T4 review from Brazil
"Awesome Toy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Cruise control was difficult to engage.
General comments?
This car is awesome! this volvo is the fastest car I have ever had.. I had a BMW 528 that was a fast car but the volvo is even faster.. The BMW is a nightmare in terms of maintenance and has a know problem with the cooling trio (radiator / waterpump / expansion tak).
The volvo is also extremably comfortable if you are in the front seats.. Space in the bak is very restricted although it has a large trunk..
Also, do not buy this car if you intend to run in in rough roads. Car is low and the suspension suffers a lot in rough roads..
