1999 Volvo S40 T4 review from UK and Ireland
"A high performance car with subtle looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front suspension bushes had to be replaced, the condition of the road where I live could well have a bearing on this however.
General comments?
This car is very comfortable.
Interior on non SE examples in my opinion is bland and slightly uninspiring.
This car has subtle looks which hide a manic power range from 2nd gear on-wards.
