1999 Volvo V40 XS review from UK and Ireland
"Good, reliable transport - but no more"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
N/S rear door seal came loose.
General comments?
A prime example of a safe, solid, stylish, reliable, but fairly dull car.
1.6 way under powered (2.0T is minimum sensible engine).
More hatchback than estate car.
Well built, well equipped and good value for money especially with recent reductions.
