2003 Volvo S40 T review from Finland
"Cheap for a Volvo, expensive for a small family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No faults of any kind.
General comments?
This car is simply fast and furious.
Volvo usually has been thought of 'the vehicle for the elders' but with the new S60 and S40 this has been changed totally. I (aged 23) find this car to be perfect for a small family or a bachelor.
The quality and craftsmanship of the vehicle is also superb. Although it's built in the Netherlands with Mitsubishi-shared platform it still delivers and takes the best of both.
Safety, speed and looks from Volvo - Economy, value and handling from Mitsubishi.
