2000 Volvo S40 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Owners of the 2000 Volvo S40 generally appreciate its sporty performance and safety features, particularly with the turbo engine that delivers impressive acceleration. Many reviewers enjoyed the car's solid build quality and comfortable ride. However, some expressed concerns about maintenance difficulties, noise levels, and a lack of the legendary safety feel compared to older Volvo models."
Performance: Original this car goes 0-100km/h in 7.3 sec, but mine is tuned a bit, so about a second quicker maybe!?! Build Quality: ok Apperance: OK Cost of Ownership: Paint job, high gas mileage, maintenance is nothing more than service each 10.000km and a lot of carwash :P Fun factor: Fun car to drive, YES. When the turbo kicks in, it's a lot of fun ;) but it's one negative thing about this car, FRONT WHEEL DRIVE
October 19, 2011Love this car! The turbo let's you have the performance of a 6cyl but fuel economy of a 4cyl. It drives great. Synthetic oil is a must conventional oil will kill a turbo. Treat it right and it will treat you right.
March 8, 2010It was an Amazing car, very safe and sturdy. It is just that Volvos in general are hard to maintain and hard to find parts for. Any volvo is great but personally I would most likely go for the C series.

June 30, 2009I liked the leather on this car, it made the front and the back seats enjoyable to sit in. Seems these cars will run forever if you keep the maintenance up to date. Gas mileage was good and the car had a solid feel to it when you drove it, handling was okay. Great for family's, a safe feeling to drive and ride.
October 21, 2014After totaled two cars, I suggested my mother to buy a Volve. This is the first year that Volvo came up with a car that is set at US$20,000 price range (thanks to Ford) so we went for it. On the way home on the first day, I tested the acceleration. Since this is a 1.8T, there is a turbo lack all the way until 50mph. Overall, the car is quiet and comfortable. However, I went back home 3 years later to drive the car again, it was very loud especially with the AC on. It also didn't give me the same sense of the legendary Volvo safety that my uncle's old 240 does on this car. It feels like just another Ford's "quality" product.
March 19, 2008I love the look of this car although I'm awaiting word for my mechanic if it needs any major work, I'm still believing I made a wise choice and am looking forward to finally "making it mine" and getting to drive it till one of us is no longer in commission.
