Personal review on my S40

Date of Review:  Oct 15, 2006
The Bottom Line: I'd recommend Volvo based on its uncompromising integrity for the human, environment & car ingenuity as it faces vast competition & marketing strategy that undermine these vital areas.
Review: Purchased the 2006 S40 and requested manual. I decided on this vehicle for personal reasons since I haven't purchased a car in a long time, being single & Swedish ancestry thought this would be the ideal car. Understated, real & firm with...

Great car especially for the money

Date of Review:  Oct 10, 2006
The Bottom Line: Buy the car if you are looking for something nice, affordable, safe and with good reliability and safety. Compare to Audi A4 or BMW 330i
Review: I have the AWD S40 with the turbo, and it is a great car. I agree with some of the comments from the other user about how Volvo is pretty much the only people to work on the car. There is so much stuff in the car that no one has ever seen, which...

Volvo S40: A great car for style; weak mechanically.

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: I rank the 2006 S40 below average because its competitors, BMW 3, Audi A4 and Infiniti G are in my experience more reliable and more fun to drive.
Review: I bought my 2006 S40 T5 Manual in March. It has every option available except AWD. For 3 weeks, I considered it stunning. Friends complimented the spoiler package, the pebble texture of the dash and the comfortable matte black leather seats. All the...

Legendary Volvo safety, VW-style reliability

Date of Review:  Oct 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: Beware of computer bugs. Buy only if you have a great service department nearby and a warranty that covers everything. Good safety features otherwise.
Review: I own a 2006 Volvo S40 2.4i with the sport suspension, premium sound, leather seats, and aluminum interior trim. My relationship with this car is a love/dislike one. When everything is working properly, I love it. A little underpowered without the...

New To Me S40 24i - updated

Date of Review:  May 30, 2006
The Bottom Line: A good value for Volvo's legendary safety, but beware manufacturers defects.
Review: I had to buy a car to replace my Saab 900S convertible. I have had 2 children since purchasing that car, and decided that I wanted a sedan. Then the Saab needed a new clutch, and the next thing I knew, I was in the market for a new car.

I...

Love my S40

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: Just take it for a test drive and chance are you'll love it.
Review: I purchased my S40 in February of 2006 and I don't have any major complaints. I did experience a few technical speed bumps, although the experience was made less negative because my local dealership made a loaner available to me at no extra costs,...

good compromise

Date of Review:  May 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: I feel like I'm flying first class for the price of coach. If it stays out of the repair shop, I will strongly recommend.
Review: Last labor day weekend I blew out the head gasket of my old Mazda, and thought that it was a perfect time to catch a sale. I was surprised that most of the local dealers were not offering much off the models I was interested in. But I spotted an ad...

DO NOT EVER BUY A VOLVO!!!

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 2006
Review: I purchased a new Volvo S40 in January 2006 and if you are looking for a car that is completely unreliable and customer service that is even worse then this is the car and car company for you. In my 11 months of ownership the car has been rendered...

2006 Volvo S40

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2007
Review: The 2006 Volvo S40 (basic) is every thing one could ask for in a car. The seats (new stuff) is great for our dog to jump back and forth on while he helps us drive. Comfort of seats areas good as the seats in our c-70. We have 56,000 on a 2006. Yeah,...

Volvo Customer Satisfaction

Date of Review:  May 30, 2006
Review: I have a 06' Volvo S40i, base engine but everything added interior for comfort.

The vehicle itself is good. However, Volvo, has made it a point to not allow ANY other shop be capable of working on their car, this includes electronics. This...
