Volvo S40 - 5 Years Of Ownership Review

Review about the Volvo s40 from 2007 which I have owned for the last 5 years, pro's and con's about this car from my own experience. Cheers. klbproductions...

[@AlexBaranets]

This generation of s40/v50 are peak car design, both for interior and exterior. It still looks fresh today. And 5 cylinder engine is classic. Also don’t forget excellent paint job and interior quality on these cars

[@mr.terwilliger5728]

It’s really cool to see you review a car you own. You can tell us the reality of owning the vehicle and the real experience it gives you. This is a nice car!

[@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB]

You are welcome, sir 😎

I'm planning to buy a 2009 S40 myself, your review has been a great help for me. Will go ahead and buy the car. 🤗

[@MohamedGomaa-gz6uf]

Don’t think twice, just buy it

[@qurlic4569]

I'm getting a volvo s40 as my first car, Love the video man💯

[@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB]

Did you buy one, what are your experiences so far?

[@qurlic4569]

@@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB Yes! I had the black S40 Facelift 2009, 1.6L Diesel Engine. My experience with it was good, and it is both comfortable and sporty to drive, easily maneuverable and had a nice clutch. The fuel economy with that particular engine was very impressive, with an average of about 0.4L/10km. I equipped it with an apple carplay screen via the 12v port, and connected the aux wire to the car to play music. The car also had a good factory audio system. Recently, I sold my car, not due to any issues, but rather because I was so impressed with its quality and driving experience. This inspired me to upgrade to a more modern Volvo! :)

I bought my 2007 Volvo s40 t5 in 2021 as my first car. Not only is it a great driver, it didn't flip over in a 75mph collision on the right fender/passenger door. I love watching others' shared love for this vehicle.

[@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB]

Volvo 4 life

[@MohamedGomaa-gz6uf]

I have the same car S40 T5-2009. I agree with every single word. You have nothing but to fall in love with it.

[@lorraineweatherspoon1395]

I love my 2008 S40 T5 AWD! I bought mine last year from a private owner. He took great care of it. Pretty much mint condition. It only had 90,000 miles on it when I purchased it. It handles great. It's fly, but not too flashy. I get plenty of compliments. I've had several pervious cars but I think I'm going to stick with Volvo. Definitely would recommend!

[@DC-sk1vk]

Very helpful review. My car is totaled and guy my brother knows happen to be selling 2011 s40 T4.. very well cared. Im happy to hear about reliability!!

[@andreypetrov79]

The owner himself bought an s40 2.4 petrol in 2005, and bought a c30 2.4i 170 hp automatic in 2019. Volvo is a safe, comfortable and in its own way identical car with its design not like everyone else’s and even after 15-20 years it looks decent... Now I’m planning to get my son a C70 convertible as his first car, primarily because of safety and it’s also a five-cylinder... Thank you very much for your video! It’s very nice to watch and at the same time be the owner of an equally beautiful car!👍

[@joshuaroy718]

I brought a Volvo s40 2011 recently. Wow it’s amazing giving good mileage and very easy to drive. I am gonna keep it for long years.

[@DJGamesHD]

The s40 is a gorgeous car I think, it looks so sophisticated but not too showy like an Audi. I'm looking to get one next year the 1.6 diesel, great video Its nice hearing a review from someone who genuinely loves their car and looks after it.

[@mattybrews]

I've had my '07 2.4i for about a year now, 5 speed as well. Love the damn thing. It's at 125k miles and I'd like to own it past 200k.

[@ladyj5682]

Really love mine too...just brought with almost 175k. 2006 Volvo s40

The Volvo S40 is an excelente car. I have one, is excellent. And beautiful .

[@pudingaomar6341]

Great video,does this Volvo use the the dreadful power shift gearbox?

[@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB]

This is the manual, works fine. 🙂

[@corradettimotorsports360]

love the car, I loved European Entry level Vehicles, but always love Volvo, so when it came time to buy my First European Car, I went with the Volvo S40, I picked up a very cherry 2005 Volvo S40 T5 AWD 6sp manual and love it!

[@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB]

5 cylinder turbo ftw 😎

[@DaveGalligher]

I have the same car, mine is 2005 S40 2.4i, I like it very much and it drives great. Can you tell me what phone holder you are using there? Great video, thank you.

[@maxalonsopinzon4138]

Excellent video, I'm currently looking for one exactly like yours. How are the maintenance costs? Did you have to replace something out of the ordinary? Sensors, Modules?

[@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB]

Hi Max, thanks for your comment. I spend an overage of 400 euro a year on maintenance at the Volvo dealer, this is just a regular check to change engine oil, brake fluid, change interior and oil filters and have a general inspection of the car. So far I did not have to replace any parts. After a long drive on a warm day, the parking sensors start acting strange, beeping as soon as I reverse the car with notting behind me. Next time I start the car (cold start) this issue is gone. So far so good. You can go below 400 euro if you go to a normal garage. The 5 cylinder is not a exotic engine but I rather have a Volvo mechanic work on it. Cheers!

@@1943L Ja, het zijn onderhand alweer oudere diesels, staat tegenover dat ze over het algemeen betrouwbaarder zijn dan het moderne spul.

[@atesz928]

Hi. I just bought the s40 2008 petrol manual. When I accelerate and press the clutch the rpm goes slightly higher before it drops. Is this normal?

[@timm9631]

Have you driven it in the snow? You don't have the T5 do you? I have the standard front wheel drive 2008 S40.

[@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB]

No, the 140HP 5 cylinder. It is not that fast but very reliable. In the Netherlands 100 KM/H is the maxium speed, so no need for a faster car. In Germany I take it up to 160 KM/h. Thinking about an software tune, will add another 30 HP. Planning on keeping the s40. Do not really like any of the modern cars tbh.

[@pietspatbord3183]

mooie video, is deze auto wel een beetje zuinig op bijv. 80 wegen?

[@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB]

Tussen de 6.5 en 7.5 liter op 100 KM op 80 wegen. Het is niet een heel zuinige auto, zeker niet als je hoger in de toeren gaat rijden, je krijgt er echter wel een betrouwbaar en goed klinkende machine voor terug ;) Bedankt voor het kijken.

[@janpieternieman5295]

@@EEPRODUCTIONSKLBheb net de Volvo v40 1.8 Europa gekocht wat een auto zeg. Zelfs de 122 pk voelt als 150 pk. Hoe doen ze dat bij Volvo. Is het zo dat je het beste super plus 98 kunt tanken met die dingen? Is het mogelijk 600 km te halen met de 1.8 Volvo blok? Mooie video en prachtige wagen heb je. Groet Jan Pieter

[@NinjaBlade012]

Thank you for the review

[@janismuizulis8762]

You can always install LPG on these cars. Especialy in Holland i hear lpg is popular.

[@hopekelly3405]

Do you have any issues with the key turning to the 0 position and releasing? I bought my 2005 volvo s40 a few months ago from a 1 person owner, when buying the vehicle she mentioned you have to put your foot on the brake in order for the key to release. Is this true? Its soooo annoying. 😒

[@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB]

No issues here, so far only needed to replace the brakes at 180k kilometer

[@patrickhallwood6084]

I have a 2001 s40 and I love that car I will never sell it a Volvo will rust❤❤❤❤❤❤

Saab was better back in the days

[@muckle8]

Saab is one of the few cars I haven’t either owned , driven in or been a passenger , I did know a guy at work who had a 900 turbo and he said it was quick , would have liked to have had a race with my 850 t5 - probably would have been close

[@markhodgson5803]

The only engine that makes sense for this car is the 1.6d DRIVe

[@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB]

Not very reliable engine actually. Better go for the 2 liter diesel

[@douglasmacray4137]

So it's 2.0 diesel right? What year it is?

[@EEPRODUCTIONSKLB]

2007 2.4 5 cylinder petrol. 140hp stock. 180hp software tuned
