Volvo V40 Review Summary
"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."
What reviewers liked least about the Volvo V40:
"The overall feel of the V40 isn't quite as sumptuous as that of its bigger siblings, but neither is the price tag."
Volvo V40 Comparisons:
"When judged against the other wagons in this test [Saturn LW300, Subaru Impreza WRX, Volkswagen Jetta GLX], the V40 comes off as genuine contender worthy of attention and definitely not one to be lost in the shuffle."
Best one-liners about the Volvo V40:
"The most often overlooked of the Volvo lineup, the V40 deserves greater recognition for its many merits."
