1998 Volvo V40 SE review from UK and Ireland
"A practical high class tourer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine management problems resulting in fluctuating and high idling speed. Took 3 visits to garage to correct.
Broken bonnet release cable.
General comments?
Great to drive, excellent refined engine and lots of power from the light pressure turbo when required.
Excellent build quality and paintwork.
Classy interior.
Shame about the niggling faults.
Good load carrier without the bulk of the larger Volvo estates.
