2000 Volvo V40 review from North America
"Quick, comfortable, pricey, entry-level Volvo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brakes locked up (one occurrence).
Key stuck in ignition (one occurrence).
General comments?
The car accelerates and handles well, although it is a bit small and pricey compared to what's available from the competition. With two minor, quickly-repaired faults, the car has been reliable.
The seats are Volvo seats, which says it all -- they set the standard for comfort.
