A side trim list was replaced under warranty.
The car has a lot of km. now, but nothing have ever failed.
Solid family car. Safe and strong build. My V40 has had no failures what so ever. Normal service (oil+filter etc.) has been carried out and that is all it has ever cost me.
It is indeed an excellent car. The quality of the materials is very good. The seats are extremely comfortable. It is indeed a car very appropriate for long journeys. With the automatic climate control and the cruise control, on the highway you can go on forever, never feeling tired. Despite it's powerful engine (140 HP) you have the tendency to drive at a slower pace due to the extreme comfort. The fuel consumption is extremely reasonable and the stereo equipment (SC-805) (CD-cassette-radio) is a marvel. I had the chance to drive a brand new V50 and believe me, there's no difference between my car (1998-100.000km) and this new model. This car is really indestructible.
My V 40 is great car perfect steering an verry comfortable
2.0 engine has enough power for overtaking max speed 200 km/hr
km.at okt 2005 190.000 with no repair or trouble.
Therefore I had a 440 and also no trouble 300.000 km's.
