2002 Volvo V40 review from North America
"Good small wagon for a commuter."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong yet with this car.
General comments?
The car is extremely economical. I have been averaging 29 miles per gallon of regular 87 octane gasoline.
Good acceleration for a 1.9 liter four cylinder engine.
Seats are very Volvo, i.e. very comfortable.
Sporty suspension allows responsive handling, but is too bumpy on a rough road, with too much road noise inside.
Small mirrors do not provide adequate side or rear views.
