Volvo S40 Review ( continued from < part five )

Build Quality

The Volvo S40 is an exceptionally solid feeling car which should prove durable and in typical Volvo fashion should retain its youthful looks mile after mile.

Value For Money

The Volvo S40D SE is good value for money offering above average levels of standard equipment. Volvo is committed to safety and the S40 boasts an impressive safety package, many of these safety features would be optional extra's on some of its rivals.

Overall Opinion

With the introduction of the S40, Volvo have produced an attractive & comfortable compact saloon that combines an ergonomic interior with a high level of standard safety equipment. It features the best of Swedish understated design and is relaxed to drive, what more could you want!
