Used Volvo S40 for Sale in Bellevue, WA

I am very happy with my S40 1.9T. It has over 150,000 miles and has been going very strong since I've owned it. Every single feature still works perfectly -- with the exception of the headlight wipers, which aren't overly necessary anyway, although certainly useful if you live in a very snowy area. The S40 gets great MPG (around 20 in the city and nearly 30 on the highway), and thanks to the turbo, the little 1.9 liter engine pulls quite hard if you need it to. The gas pedal is slightly stiff, but the acceleration is incredibly smooth. The interior of the car is roomy for a smaller sedan, and it has held up nicely as well with the leather having only minor wear. It has most luxury features you could reasonably expect in a commuter sedan (traction control, dual compartment A/C, power windows and sunroof). Pretty much everything about this vehicle is solid and reliable. It has great build quality, and it is relatively versatile. It is a great daily driver. This car is equally suitable for a student's college commute as it is to a grandmother's weekend grocery store runs. I would only not recommend the S40 if a large amount of space is needed, such as a large family or frequent long-distance traveling.

When we were looking for a car, we wanted something that looked good, handled well ( including driving in the snow), was safe, reliable, and didn't have a history of problems - both mechanical and safety issues. Also, we were looking for a car that would last and serve us well, if we followed good maintenance practices.
