2001 Volvo V40 review from North America
"Great car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turbo seal needed to be replaced, but it was only $100. No other problems.
General comments?
This is an amazing small powerful car. Very fuel efficient, reliable, great in the city and fast off the line thanks to the turbo.
I put winter tires on it, and drive in a cold snowy Canada with unbelievable traction. I have traveled the snowy mountain highway at over 150 km/h, and have crossed in major snow storms just before they had to close it because all the SUVs were skidding off. :)
If you are considering buying one, you will not be disappointed.
