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

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 Colin...
