1998 Volvo S40 T4 review from Poland
"Too expensive and too fast :)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Loud noise in front suspension, repaired after two visits at dealer.
The clutch works rough, I see some problems ahead.
General comments?
Front seats could be more comfortable, the way height is regulated is a mystery for me, probably some studies in Volvo's R&D center is necessary. Rear seat is OK.
There is a lack of cup holders.
Engine is powerful, but turbo-hole exist, I liked 1.8T Volkswagen engine more.
