Now this man can do a proper car review!
Love the fact he's open and not afraid to give his own opinion

I have an S40 T5 AWD, and I bought it half a year ago as a first car in Austin, TX. I love it. It's my perfect little 'mountain goat'. The steering is responsive, and outside certain highway situations so is the throttle. Being an R-Design, it looks nice and clean yet kind of sporty.I've driven it at top speed and it sat comfortably there. I drove it in the Colorado mountains during a pretty serious storm and it held its own; I could confidently drive it faster than just about any non-truck on that twisty, snowy, half-frozen road. During that same trip I pulled my first 8+ hour stints in the thing without much of an issue. And apart from a subpar fuel economy, it's really good in the city: Not too big, not at all slow, turning radius is good. Mine's also an automatic, so I didn't have to overcome any extra hurdles to developing real-life driving skills.

My dad had a 2008 V50 T5 AWD Turbo with the sport package that later became the R design. It was the gecko green mettalic, and we had nice 18" rims. The factory workers from Sweden told the dealer in the USA how much they liked our car, and the dealer even put our car in the showroom! 2 years ago though, it was totaled. That car was so unique and like no other!

Currently own a 2007 S40 and it's easily the best car I have owned to sate! Everything electrical, climate control, comfort, safety, handling, looks it's really a full package car for my circumstances! One drawback for me in the long run is the fact I would probably need a larger boot for the children's bikes etc other than that I love it

love these S40's & the V50 wagons especially with the T5 turbo

You can use a Grom Audio unit to add Bluetooth audio. It taps into the optical audio wiring and works great. Then you can use your phone for all your audio.

5:25 lovely center console design... handbrake with a lot of character.

We are a 2011 s40 and we like it. It is a bit small but no deal breaker

I am a Volvo fan and grew up with the brand. I wouldn't have any other car.

[robsta.]

I have the AWD version of this car and it fixes those acceleration problems you were having

[ollilehtonen]

The S40 is the biggest "old person car" Volvo ever made.
And they crammed a T5 in it.. I want one now, lol.

Had a 2006 s40 and it was my favorite car

[doctorsocrates]

I have a 08 1.6 petrol version and it's been a terrific car.✌

I had an '06 S40 T5, and to this day, I still regret ever trading it. I switched out the steering wheel and shifter for the Volvo offered aftermarket units that incorporated the same silver trim as on the side door panels and center stack.

nice video, just came home after giving back my volvo s40 1.6 2006 for the dealership cause he said the car was fine when sold it to me, but after 1 day the car couldnt pass 3000rpm, so i took it to mechanic he said 1000euros to reapair, so i just gave back the car, yes you can do that if you in the 14 days after buyng, called regret or deffected product

I'm looking at one of these with a 5 speed manual.

I have a 2010 s40 t5 R design awd with the six speed manual and I love it.
