1996 Volvo V40 review from UK and Ireland
"Fast and reliable if you have the money to run it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear wiper stopped working, fixed myself for £10.
General comments?
Easy to lock yourself out of the car with keys still inside.
Cruised at 80mph, went 130mph once!
Starts everyday.
Driven hard all around the country.
Cruse control is fabulous!
Expensive insurence and only does 10 miles per gallon!
