Is the 2008 Volvo S40 a good car?
Weve had our 2008 S40 for almost 10 years and we love it. Its a very reliable and comfortable car. Took it on a trip from Jersey to Cali, round trip, no problems whatsoever. Seats are the best in the segment. You can drive for 5-6 hours straight and not get tired. Suspension is comfortable, but it gives you a lot of confidence while driving.
