2001 Volvo V40 T review from North America
"Wonderful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong wih the car, other than my totaling it in an intersection last week.
General comments?
I am compelled to inform others as to how this car performed in an accident. I "T" boned a Hyundai in an intersection. The V40 absorbed the impact beautifully and the only injury suffered by me is a sore foot (my braking foot). The young Hyundai driver is OK too, though wiser.
Unfortunatley, the V40 is a right off. $23 thousand (Canadian) in damages.
