Volvo S40/V50

“Acceptable to get from A to B. But very dull to drive when compared to many cheaper or similarly priced family cars, such as the Ford Mondeo or Focus.”

Mr Julian Sowa - West Sussex

“Car is excellent, the only let down is the performance of the 1.8 petrol engine which struggles in such a heavy car. Also the car had to go into the garage twice, once the six cd changer broke and it took three days to repair and once again a few weeks back when there was an unexplained rumbling at high speed.”

Mr Jorge Gonzaga - Swindon

“Overall a good car that allows me to cover the mileage that I need to do for business purposes. Also doubles well as a family car and serves my family well as a load lugger.”

Mr Richard Hart – Northern Ireland

“The problem was the ignition keys' electronic chip failing so the car could not be started easily, though it did eventually. New key came quite quickly. Generally I like the car. It is comfortable and performs well.”

Mr Keith Bamford - Bingley

“When it works, it is brilliant. But there have been too many persistent and recurring problems - it is as if Volvo has let its customers test drive their car for them ( an old Ford trick I think...).”

Mr Nicholas Harrold - Essex
