1998 Volvo S40 SE review from UK and Ireland
"Too much to pay for it's performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems have so far occured on the car.
General comments?
This car is a terrible performer.
It is slow and bulky.
Performances are poor to average.
Handling is OK - actually gets better in the wet.
Gets better in terms of power when up to 90 mph - engine sounds better and more relaxed.
Dealers have always been good.
Car needs to be quicker, much quicker, have better handling.
It deserves to compete with the likes of Saab and BMW, but it can't because its too slow.
