one of my friends got one about 10 months ago. its pretty sporty, i have always liked volvos though. it is really a safe car but made for the track. kind o flike a wolf in sheeps clothing i guess you can say. getting a stick would make it much more fun to drive in my opinion. but then again i love driving a standard. it is a nice car all around and should last you a long time if you take care of it. i like it

Expensive when it comes to maintenance and repairs. Also hard to find anyone other than Volvo dealers that are able to work on them. They are a well made car that drives well. Last time I looked at the S40 it still had an extremely small back seat and new radio configuration makes aftermarket changes difficult. Just my 2 cents.

I first started looking at the S40 for my wife. It is a good car. I have a friend that has one and they recommended it. Ultimately we ended up buying an S60. We decided that we needed the extra room and the dealership gave us a fantasic deal on the car. We bought the car new three years ago and have not had a problem.

Thanks for the opinions guys...I'm hoping to get a real nice deal on an '04 S40 T5 w/11,000 miles on it next weekend...we'll see what happens....I'm not too worried about the repair bills since its a certified vehicle and comes with a 6yr/100,000 mile extended bumper to bumper warranty!!! Thanks again.
