[@AndrewKNI]

You misunderstand (must be the heat!). My point was that from my ownership experience the S40 was a good car and worthy of your consideration. If it's diesel, then it has to be 2 litre. Great torque and performance.

My mother has just bought a 2012 Volvo S40 R design 2.0 petrol with manual gearbox. My mother doesn't do long trips so a diesel isn't worth having. We took it for a test drive yesterday and Mum loved it straight away. I have a 1984 Volvo 340DL and as a family we have had many Volvo cars. I wouldn't have any other car than a Volvo.

[@MultiTrumPeter]

A good car, they drive well, and minor dislikes, like the lack of storage in the front. The pocket are so thin in the door, they don't even take my sunglass case. Good size Glove Box. The spare was the space saver, so annoying for Australians. The lights in the Low Beam were no great. Easy to live with car, I have the 2.4i 6 speed auto, and can get close to 900 Klms from the 60 Litre tank on highways. Known issues, Keys getting stuck in the Ignition. Heavy on front brakes, but a long life car. Just be sure the Service Books are good, the Timing Belt has been changed, and a transmission flush is done regularly.

[@sterayd]

I own a 2008 s40 2.5 turbocharged and haven't had any major problems with it, very solid unlike most small cars, and I live in the n. east USA and encounter ice and snow in the winter months and she handles like a cat on carpet. Fun to drive the only draw back is if you are tall such as myself it is a little uncomfortable on long trips but for other cars of this size the leg room is better.

[@Nolbfg]

I currently have a 2007 s40 2.0d, and I absolutely love it! In regards to its competition on the market I was looking at at a mondeo, focus Astra etc and I am so glad I went for the Volvo! The comfort and styling is miles ahead in my opinion and they are less common on the road! All the parts are basically focus with a Peugeot Diesel engine so it's a perfect mix in regards to handling and reliability!

After market bluetooth (BT) module for media can be fitted on models with just the CD player and no AUX. The BT circuit board comes with a compatible flat cable that will plug into the CD player's main board and then daisy chain via the CD cable to the media console. Not hard to fit. You just need to remove the CD player, open it up to connect the BT module cable, put it back together and reinstall it. When your media device (phone) is paired to the BT module, you need to play a CD to hear your media device content. When you turn off or disconnect your bluetooth media device, the CD player will switch to the CD and play that. I fitted one to mine. Works well.

Had a 2007 S40s, 1.6 petrol. Nice car, but mine didn't live up to Volvo's liability.. Wheel bearings went off first, then the brake unit valve gave up on me (common S40 problem and a pretty expensive fix but you might be lucky finding a ford one for half the price). Couple of months later, the gearbox failed completely! Got rid of it and got myself an astra GTC.. Still miss that Volvo look though 🤔

They're very reliable and safe, in the 9 years old they've owned it, it has not failed once. Look foward to seeing what you purchase!

[@conorcahill5422]

So just a couple of queries, Shane. I was looking at an 1.6L Diesel '09 S40 R Design yesterday in Limerick, where I'm from. I test drove it, and it was very neat and tidy. Also had a nice bit of oomph, which is ideal for an engine that's much bigger than my 1.3L Astra. I was a bit concerned with the small head and leg space in the back. And the cabin in general feels a bit compressed (though I'm a tall enough guy, so that's a natural feeling.) The handling was also great, and the seating and ride was very comfortable. Has done just over 105000 miles. The dealer (an independent) had it valued at 8000 but would take my Astra and bring it down to 6000 if I want it. I really want to get one too like yourself, but it isn't easy when not many of these are sold in dealers. Most are sold privately, and they're the dodgy ones. What do you think? Is it worth it?

[@matthewjones9565]

I've got this model of S40, very nice to drive, fabulous on the motorway and the 6 speed gearbox makes a huge difference when on the motorway. The only criticism I'd have is that when you fill it up, it will show as full for quite a while, especially on long runs (AS long as you keep it around 2000 revs) but once the fuel gauge does start to dip below full it goes into freefall and before you know it you're filling it up again.

I found and fix the problem, maybe this would help u guys. So first, take out all carpets. After that, if possible put under rain or u also can use just water and spray a tons of water just like rain. In my case, the water leak come from the front passenger side, but its not from the doors ( some car leaking come from the side doors trim ). My case it's come from front which is connected with engine room area, Anyway doesn't matter where's the water come in just check it, see where's the water come in, if you found it u just can fix it with glue/seal special for aquarium or house roof sealant. I wish this give u a little help, good luck.

Then as he stated the stat's for the 2011 and they were Identical to mine I became a little confused. Did Volvo not do any upgrades at all in 6 years other than light's? Anyway's, that's a pretty black 1.6 D. It's just a little under-powered for me. Otherwise, I hope you bought it!

Im thinking of buying a s80 I now have a s40 😂... what was your experience?

[@ShanesAutos]

@@Webrisernl never did buy one. I saved up more and got a 2015 Vauxhall Insignia but I stand by the S40 it is a very nice car. Great, really like the S80 to!

[@Webrisernl]

@@ShanesAutos thanks for the comment

[@Randze]

If you want a small luxury car go ahead

[@samqudafi2713]

Great info..thanks guys...

[@johnramsunder4955]

I want to buy the volvo but deciding on the S40 2.0 or the S40 T4. Can you advise me on the best one to go for. I know that the T4 has been discontinued since 2004. But if i get a decent one I plan to buy it. Let Me know. Thank You

[@andrescubillos6860]

I'm 17 and considering this for my first car. Good choice?

[@ShanesAutos]

Andres Cubillos yep for sure

[@slimshadygabbz2172]

we might buy a 2007 s40 soon, and i was wondering why the aux dont work? is there a problem with the aux with these cars?

[@Texasgirl2023]

Why does the parking brakes it up like that? It looks broken.

[@ShanesAutos]

Are you asking about the posting the handbrake is when it’s up? That just the design.

[@profx9520]

How much does this car insurance cost a year

[@Kreutz]

It's a sharp car and a comfortable ride, with luxury obviously. I have one. But it's acceleration is pretty slow compared to most cars on the road today.

[@leonwilliams1560]

obviously not talking about the T5....i have one and its literally one of the quickest cars on the road and leaves even still most modern cars for dust. 240bhp stock, but mine is stage one tuned with a couple of mods to just under 300bhp

[@stefankarlsson6113]

what modell is this s40? 2011?

[@marktraviskay4791]

I need a v50 diesel 2012 engine and some parts to buy .... can you get a dealer please???

[@ShanesAutos]

Can’t you just contact a Volvo dealer or find a used motor? Not sure what you want me to do…

[@dave11686]

They are very nice cars, just not for me(I got my license and want a Subaru) but if that's what you want just go for it!

[@ShanesAutos]

I want a Subaru to but as a daily driver it would be thirsty because i drive a good bit.

[@cytrynowy_melon6604]

Is the legroom and headroom in the front spacious enough for 1.8 meter person?

[@ShanesAutos]

Tom Wheeler yes

[@laleki9]

Love the exterior but the interior looks so dated. Other 2010's look more modern inside. I can not stand that green radio background.

[@gingerbreadman5265]

105 ps couldn't pull my nan out of bed

[@alekjohnson6122]

What year was this S40?

[@ShanesAutos]

Alek Johnson 2011

[@matthewjones9565]

Simple answer is no, never ever buy one. I've got one and I would never buy a Volvo again. I'd rather crawl somewhere on my hands and knees through broken glass than have a Volvo. They cost an absolute fortune to run. I've never had a car which was so bad on fuel. To put this into perspective, before this I had a Jaguar XF, massively more powerful, much bigger engine and I would fill my Jag up once a month and that was it. Didn't need to put fuel in again until the following month. My Volvo, which has the same engine as this one, has to be filled up 3 times a month doing the same amount of mileage. It has to be serviced every year which, (providing nothing needs to be done) will cost you a minimum of £500. If anything needs to be done it will cost you a hell of a lot more. Never buy a Volvo. Buy a Jag, massively cheaper to run, more powerful and much, much nicer to drive.

[@matthewjones9565]

@munky 306 You're right, there is no comparison. A Jaguar will cost much less to run hands down. I know because I've owned both. Fuel aside, the Jaguar was also much, much cheaper to insure, much nicer to drive and far more reliable. I'm speaking from experience because, as I said, I've actually owned both cars.

[@matthewjones9565]

@munky 306 I've actually spoken to a few people who have had Volvos and thought the same. I even had someone who works for Volvo who has said that they would never buy one. I wouldn't completely agree about the "vastly different demographics", as I said I've had both and I'm not vastly different now compared to how I was driving a Jag, I'm just less happy. Having owned both cars I would argue that I'm perfectly qualified to make an argument. If you haven't owned both cars, or even driven both cars, can you really tell me that I'm wrong? I've owned both, so therefore I'm not making a blind point.

[@knifecase601]

My 07 is just as good as this 2011

[@nathanhigham5489]

Bit of a late comment but can anyone help with a good average mpg on the 2.0D?

[@SunsmileMaria]

Belt or chain?

[@vladimirpopa8576]

Belt, it's a Ford Focus car, but a bit more refined.
