2005 Volvo S40 Momentum review from Finland
"Very good luxury and sportiness combined!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just some parts in the chassis, typical for the Ford-concern.
General comments?
This newer Ford Focus chassis that is in this Volvo is fantastic! It's like a 308 or 407 :) It's stable and sporty, but not too hard.
The engine is so good, and sounds good with my sport exhaust.
It's not too big either, I like to drive the C30 more, but this car is a beauty, with Nordic design!
The back seat aren't for tall Swedish people though. Max 185cm.
Best non-(Peugeot or BMW) car I've driven!
