Very well built

Great car all the way around , inside and out and they still look good it's one of those cars in a certain category of car's that your "not sure" what year it is because it never went out of style. You'll never hear someone say 'Oh that's a classic Volvo , most people to this day ask what kind of car is that with a compliment. I can hear the car designers saying "OK" let us think "outside the box" on this one. back in 1999 , don't Quote me on that , I think that's the 1st year of this design , It doesn't look like the rest of Volvo's , let's face it they made some UGLY A_ _ VOLVO'S

Fun commuter sedan

I owned this car for about 4+ months until I sold it. I loved the car a lot and it has served me well. It's a great realiable commuter car. Although the automatic radio antenna stopped working which was a shame but other than that the motor ran perfectly excellent. If your on a budget and want a fun small sedan I totally recommend this car

Beautiful Car

This car has ran ever since we bought it almost brand new. It has amazing speakers and is very roomy for a car it?s size with a very fast engine with the turbo model

Excellent medium-size sedan.

I've drove one for years and it's quite resistant. Avery comfortable car for using it every day or travelling.

2002 S40 Volvo

I have only had the car for 3 months but so far, I love it! It is supereasy to get through rush hour traffice in DC and easy to park. It has a lot of zip. I probably paid a little more buying it from a dealer but the upside was that they guaranteed it for 30 days and sure enough, it needed a catalytic converter during that time. The car gas been well kept and was just as advertised on cars.com. The radio doesn't have intuitive dials or pinpoint tuning...or maybe I just haven't figured it out.

Bought used and has been a great car!!

Looks good, drives great, feels safe with my kids inside. Great gas mileage. Purchased from a 1 owner and would do it again.

BETTER THEN MY HONDA

I HAVE HAD MY S401.9T FOR ONE YEARS AND HAVE LOVED EVERY MIN. IT IS RELIABLE, SAFE, SPORTY, AND GOOD LOOKING. I GET GREAT MPG AND ON THE HWY YOU'LL NOTICE THE TURBO I HAVE NO PROBLEM PASSING ANOTHER CAR . WILL SAY HAVE TO SAY THAT I WOULD NOT LET ANY ONE WORK ON MY VOLVO BUT A VOLVO DEALER. WORKING IN THE CAR WORLD I HAVE NOTICE THESE CARS NEED THE RIGHT CARE TO LAST FOR 200,000 MILES

Excellent VALUE

I was loaned a Volvo S40 1.9 Turbo for a weekend while visiting friends. It was "the daughters car". I was a little skeptical until I needed to pass a car on the freeway...Boy was I suprised! This car is a great value for the money. It handles great, and has all of Volvos engeneering features. The interior is very well done. I am 6'2" and 200lbs, It had pleanty of room. I need to mention the fuel mileage was good!!! This is a well thought out car. Great sound system. Very impressed!!!
