Volvo S40 review covering 2004 To Date
Tuesday 28 October 2008
Volvo has a lot to thank the S60 for. This was the first car to make small Volvos respectable and paved the way for Volvo to reach into a new market niche with the second generation S40, launched in 2004. But what about the MK1 S40? Well, despite Volvo’s perseverance, that car never really stood up to intense scrutiny. The MK2 S40 is a vastly different and massively superior proposition. As a used buy, it stacks up extremely well, a previous owner taking the sting out of the upfront price for you yet leaving you with a whole host of classic Volvo values.

Compact estate cars sound like a bad idea right from the outset. If you’re going to buy a load lugger, why buy one that can’t lug much of a load? Logic issues notwithstanding, Volvo managed to turn th

Even though the original C70 was launched way back in 1997, it’s still something of a novelty for many to see a sleek and curvaceous Volvo product. The post ‘06 C70 remains one of the best looking cou

Although it may not have revolutionised the luxury 4x4 genre quite so radically as the BMW X5 did, the Volvo XC90 moved the state of the art on in a way few thought possible. In many ways it was perha

Volvo were one of the first manufacturers to get with the concept of the lifestyle 4x4 estate, their Cross Country mopping up a good percentage of customers who had grown out of a Subaru and who could

Like many relics of the 1980s, the Dudley Moore film ‘Crazy People’ now appears horribly dated. After all, who could mention an advertising strapline like ‘Volvo, boxy but good’ nowadays? Yes, they’re

Before the 850's arrival in 1992, Volvos were safe and usually uninspiring. This car changed all that. Now, the franchise had a fine-handling and attractive-looking executive contender good enough to

Whatever the secret to a long life, Volvo seems to know it. The 700-series is amongst the longest-lived of recent memory, dating from 1982 and finally ending in slightly updated S/V90 forms in 1998. T

If you subscribe to the view that Volvos should look as if they were designed with a setsquare and a ruler, then the 480 series, launched in 1986, must have come as a huge shock. This coupe-cum-estate

This was the model that began the change in Volvo's image. When the 400 series was launched in 1989, the Swedish cars were still seen as dowdy and boring. It would be putting things too strongly to su
