Looks good from the exterior
Unreliable, underpowered, VERY expensive dealers
I've had this Volvo S40 for about a year and from the day I bought it I've had problems. The anti roll bar came loose which was fortunately covered under the warranty as i bought it from a main dealer. The next thing to faulter was the air con. Took it to the dealer who was pleased to tell me that the regassing is not covered under the warranty, costing me £116. Within a month it started the engine started to cut out, took it back to the dealer who then carried out £176 of work without my permission. To cap it all off the four tyres have had to replaced at a cost of £299 although I've actually only done 7500 miles since buying it!! I think they saw me coming!!!
