 Volvo S40 - Practicality 3/5
Volvo S40
Volvo S40
The Volvo S40 is expensive when compared to Japanese rivals of the same class but seems to be a bargain when compared to European cars. Fuel economy can be maximized if you should opt for the diesel engine. Insurance rates are low and that will appeal to many buyers.

The Volvo S40 cabin is very spacious and will provide more than enough space for all of the passengers. Neither the front nor the rear passengers should have any complaints on long journeys.

The Volvo S40 gauges are clear and concise. The fascia is uncluttered and the controls are functional as well as practical. The switchgear is of high quality as always, though some may complain as it lacks color and seems a bit dull.

Passengers will be comfortable both up front and in the rear. With plenty of head and legroom, only tall rear passengers will complain. The seats are firm and seem as though they will resist sagging later.

Accessing the cabin is easy, for a saloon that is. The doors open wide, so accessing the cabin is made a bit more simple. Rear passengers will have a bit of a challenge due to the shape of the roof.

Parking the S40 is easy especially as you pull forward into a parking spot. Reversing in requires a bit more skill as rear visibility is reduced so parking sensors might be a good idea.
