My thoughts on my new 2001 Volvo S40

bykatiemccann Dec 8, 2000

Pros Safe and relatively inexpensive
Cons a few things that make the car feel like a "cheap" car
Recommended it? Yes

I have been driving a new Volvo S40 for about a month now. My #1 priority when buying a car is safety, which is why I chose a Volvo. Despite the fact that the S40 is the "cheap" Volvo, it is loaded with the safety features that Volvo is known for, and is really a great value for the price.

My wife and I purchased this car after trading a '95 Passat Wagon( The VW was supposed to be our nice, paid-for Home Depot capable vehicle). Unfortunately, the Passat didn't work out for a variety of reasons (5-speed, electrical snafus, etc). We are both very happy with the purchase. After putting... Read full review »

Let me say this up front, I love my 2001 Volvo. The first drive did it for me. I had decided I needed a more ?adult? car than my little red cop-magnet and what better way to go ?adult/yuppie? than in a little black station wagon? This Volvo-badged Mitsubishi is beautifully made, reasonably quick,... Read full review »

This car seems to be hit or miss depending on who buys it. I have a friend who bought an identical car to mine, but it has had no problems at all, as opposed to the host of issues mine had. Granted, it might just be that my dealership is incompetent and cannot find the problem at hand, but so far,... Read full review »
