People forget just how good Volvo's cars are~ Good quality and great cars overall. It's refreshing to see a 12 year old S40 still running great. These older Volvo cars still hold up.
Got an 2005 S40 T5 AWD Summum, heico sportiv custom build with 140.000km for 7300€. 250hp and what a steal, i love how under-appreciated these cars are, since it keeps the price low.
I have the 2011 sans the R-Design but fully equipped. It hauls ass, the turbo is great when passing and I live on a terrific curvy, contoured, country road in Nova Scotia. A joy to drive into town and back.
My friend used to have a red 2006 with the dark leather and sunroof. I really liked that car. And my aunt had a black V50 also with dark leather and sunroof.
7:50 the dust cover for the shift gate has a piece broken off which is why it won't let you manually shift. The piece has a magnet tells the car you've moved over into manual mode, and when it breaks, it just doesn't realize you've shifted into manual. It's not a terrible fix.
I bought one as my first car same as this one just with blis, such a cool car to have unfortunately it ran out of coolant on the highway and cooked itself :(
