Volvo V40 reviews

2004 Volvo V40 Review Summary

What reviewers liked most about the 2004 Volvo V40:

• The V40 proved utterly unflappable under most conditions and happily accepted everything thrown its way...It feels well balanced and surprisingly light on its feet...Adding to the fun are the V40's turbocharged 1.9-liter 4-cylinder engine and snappy 5-speed automatic transmission. The light-pressure turbo's strong low-end boost combines with the gearbox's well-spaced gears to deliver excellent acceleration and throttle response during cut-and-thrust driving.- Road & Track
