2000 Volvo S40 S40 review from North America
"Loved all my Volvos, except this one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Everything. You name it, it's been replaced. That's incredibly frustrating when you maintain a car as well as I do, and all of its miles are on the highway, cruise set.
Now I have a huge problem... the car vibrates terribly at all times and no one can figure it out even after replacing all motor/trans mounts and CV axles. I despise this car.
General comments?
It's not a true Volvo. I've had a few Volvos and loved them. I bought an S70 used with 180K and it was flawless, especially when compared to this unreliable, rattle-filled piece of crap.
