2001 Volvo S40 review from North America
"Great car and would consider buying another Volvo in the future"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
While it's only been 3 months, I haven't had any problems with the car. I just put new tires on there. The service light recently popped on, so I'll be taking it in for some type of advanced/basic service at a local Volvo dealer.
General comments?
- The car handles really well, especially on turns.
- Because of the turbo, it's got a quick pick pick up. Better for me to clear yellow lights! I love turbo!!
- I love the heated seats. They heat up quickly.
- I find the heat takes a little while to get hot.
- I wish there were rear wipers.
- My car is midnight blue and I haven't had any paint issues.
