1997 Volvo S40 T4 review from Austria
What things have gone wrong with the car?
An strange noise from the rear axle.
Engine regulation light occaisonally comes on.
No other problems so far (25000km).
General comments?
The traction check (DSA) is useless in the wet, the regulation intervenes much too late. On dry roads the traction is surprising good.
All in all, exactly the vehicle I wanted.
