1996 Volvo S40 review from Denmark
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Suspension needed retensioning when the car was new. Instruments (speedometer etc.) had to be replaced because of faulty km counter. Nasty sound when engaging reverse.
General comments?
Very fine car. Improvements to the gearbox and making the steering wheel adjustable in length would make the car perfect.
