2002 Volvo S40 - expensive to maintain, great pick up, roomy for a sedan
The Volvo S40 Turbo is a great little car with fast pick up and a surprisingly roomy interior. It handles both scenic and highway driving beautifully and performs well in all weather conditions. Living in rainy and snowy New England, this car is sturdy enough to handle the quick weather changes, while the sun roof provides a nice access point to the sun in the spring and summer. It's a sleek little sedan that offers safety and quality. The roomy interior is big enough for 4 passengers to sit comfortably. The center console holds drinks and essentials and the factory installed sound system provides clear sound, both from radio and CD/ music player. Unfortunately, along with all of its great qualities, there are some negatives as well. The cost of maintaining the Volvo S40 borders on out...

The Volvo S40 Turbo is a great little car with fast pick up and a surprisingly roomy interior. It handles both scenic and highway driving beautifully and performs well in all weather conditions. Living in rainy and snowy New England, this car is sturdy enough to handle the quick weather changes, while the sun roof provides a nice access point to the sun in the spring and summer. It's a sleek little sedan that offers safety and quality. The roomy interior is big enough for 4 passengers to sit comfortably. The center console holds drinks and essentials and the factory installed sound system provides clear sound, both from radio and CD/ music player. Unfortunately, along with all of its great qualities, there are some negatives as well. The cost of maintaining the Volvo S40 borders on outrageous. The turbo parts are all connected to a computer system, which is very expensive to replace/ maintain. It has to be maintained at a Volvo dealer and cannot be taken to a local shop. The lights (both head and tail) also seemed to blow out quickly which added to the maintenance expenses.
