2001 Volvo S40 SE review from North America
"Excellent performer, great on gas, A+"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes were replaced, very inexpensive, and easy to do yourself, rotor replacement is not required unless you allow pads to grind metal. Factory Continentals are very expensive also.
General comments?
This car is a great overall car, great for families, great for single people, great for anyone, good on gas, cheap for insurance. like I said, I am very glad I purchased this vehicle.
