2002 Volvo S40 review from North America
"Compact, safe, rock-solid reliable, luxury sedan"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems with this car.
General comments?
This is very enjoyable car to drive. Good power and tight handling. Ride is very smooth for a smaller car and the seats provide the legendary Volvo comfort.
Originally bought this car because of good experiences with our other Volvo in regard to reliability and safety. This car is a keeper for us because it is dependable, safe, and very fun to drive.
