Good Points: Build quality Incredibly smooth delivery of power thoughout a useful torque range Taut handling.
Bad Points: My wife thinks I am having a mid-life crisis, but I like my car.
General comments: This is a very underestimated motor car.
In my younger years I spent time stage ralllying in Mini Cooper S's and DTV Vauxall Firenza's. In the personal sense though, this is by far the best car I have ever driven.
It is remeniscent of the early 80's Audi Quattro's on the rally scene, which also has lots of power and a distinctive exhaust note. I love it!

The Volvo S40 is a good all-rounder. Just used one of these for a couple of days. Very comfortable. Great driving position. Its got a bit of power, not lots but its delivered in a mature way. Very good build quality. Nice paint. Alloys. The particular one that I drove was bought for under 1000. Great value for a very safe car.

I just bought my Volvo after looking at the comments in reviewcentre. This is the best car I have ever driven. I had Civics, Accords, Focus, etc and this volvo beats in every detail. The best of the best.

I can't believe no one reviewed the Volvo S40 yet - just another example of what a hidden gem it is. Among the Mommy-mobiles of Volvo, I think the S40 is frequently forgotten about.
With it's turbo charged motor, the thing provides enough pep to make any drive fun. Would I try to race anyone with it? Well, no, but everyone who has attempted anyway (except a Mustang once) has lost. I think that's because only people with Civics seem to try though. With a manual transmission, it might be a ...
