2004 Volvo S40 Compact Near Luxury Sedan
…Continued
In Conclusion
Volvo talks about the S40 as a balanced combination of design, driving dynamics and class leading safety. We agree with them. While this is not the hottest rod on the planet, it is a fun-to-drive, near-luxury sedan, any adult would enjoy owning, especially the T5. The styling is rich, distinctive and the interior a pleasure to live in. Along with Volvo’s cutting edge safety technology, they have produced another great product.
Editors Ratings
Pros: Great styling for the money. The best interior in the price range. Good performance in the T5. Cool Swedish design cues. Affordable. Great racing program.
Cons: Not quite a BMW -- which it doesn’t need to be. We want more Swedish in the design.
