1996 Volvo V40 CD review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent car, let down by after sales service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaked rainwater into the boot.
General comments?
Very handy workhorse yet still look very stylish.
Performance is good, but a bit unrefined at higher revs.
Extremely comfortable seats.
Astonishingly bad after sales service from Volvo main agent. This is a shame because it will deter me from buying another.
