2006 Volvo S40 T5 AWD review from North America
"Comfortable, handles well, flys under the radar since it is kind of 'bland' looking"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet. So far, so good.
General comments?
Very comfortable seats. Have owned BMW's, Audi's and Volvo's. Always found Volvo's the most comfortable.
Reasonably fast, the AWD helps hold the torque steer to a minimum.
Premium sound is very good.
Bought the Barents Blue colour (dark grey/blue). Does not seem to get noticed by police or others.
