2001 Volvo V40 T4 SE review from UK and Ireland
"High performance set of 1950's curtains"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
Very fast motor. Good buzz for the adrenaline junky.
The interior however is awful. Tacky bits abound and you could easily fall asleep looking at the dash.. If you weren't to busy spinning the wheels at 40mph that is! The interior really lets this car down. I will look next for a good performer with a better interior. Probably won't be Volvo.
Ford have not improved Volvo's boring image one bit with this car. I've got one year left with it. 1 year of looking at the dash and feeling disappointed. But putting my foot down reminds me of the real reason I bought it. It's a lot of engine for not much money.
