My Dad has a 1.9 diesel one (company car), goes ok, does over 450 miles per tank. Full electrics etc. It's done 83k in 2 1/2 years and its going strong, just the usual tyres, etc been replaced.

MY S40 T4 CD 200bhp



Can't fault it, full leather, electric everything...200bhp and 0-60 under 7 secs...Heated seats blah blah..

Have had it for about a year and runs like a dream...

I wouldn't have any other model though, this is the range topper T4 CD..

Never thought i would have a volvo until I seen this and drove it and wanted it there and then..Made quite a few mods aswell now though..

Very sturdy safe cars...

Can't comment on the diesels or lower spec models though....

Check www.s40concepts.net and www.pvguk.co.uk or .com / .org

click on my garage for loads of pics....You have to get over the stigma ppl seem to assume with volvos though, how narrow minded some are:P Colin...:lol:

got handed one with delivery miles for company i was temping in...

t-something, was pretty rapid...

went back 2 days later with the service light on, knocking from the engine, and well, its wasnt healthy...

Cant really say i like them




me and my friend had a back accident in one, he ended getting £400 fine and 18month ban, also didnt get his 4k insurance

think it was an S40

They're really good cars, well built, nice specs.

I see no reason to get one unless you have 2 kids & a nagging wife. Mav will agree :o

after a diesel version, cos im paying over £200 a month to run my present car, and already have over £600 on loans to pay. (bought 2 cars which i couldn't afford to keep, but am stuck with the loans to pay!)

my dad had the estate V40 (same engines etc.) and it was a really good car... drove well, never broke down after 3 years an 90,000 miles and still felt good at 90k, felt like it had plenty of life left in it...

i though they wa pipe and slipper tackle??

What engine?

A guy at works has an orange one. looks okay. Are they 240bhp?

What are you peeps opinions on Volvo S40s ?
