Volvo S40 Review
WHATCAR? Review
At faster speeds, the S40 is stable and controlled. Twisty routes can also be tackled with plenty of confidence, thanks to minimal body roll and ample grip. The steering is responsive and well weighted too.

Top Gear Review
It's amazing to think how far Volvo's image has improved of late. Remember the Eighties when they were considered to be an ideal choice if you wanted a strong estate that was the shape and size of a house but weren't bothered about image? 'Style' was not a word that was often used in the same sentence as 'Volvo'. Even as little as 10 years ago, despite some tomfoolery in the British Touring Car Championship that improved our perceptions of the brand, they were still seen as big, lumbering cars favoured only by OAPs, caravan towers and Plod due to their reliability.

Parker's Review
This Volvo S40 is a clean break from the model that ran from 1996-2004. Whereas the old car picked up a slightly dowdy image by the end of its life, this model is stylish and well proportioned. It also loses the Mitsubishi mechanicals (the old one was developed alongside the Carisma) and gains the underpinnings of the Ford Focus and Mazda3. The upmarket feel continues to the inside, with a superb layout and sophisticated look.
