Used Volvo V40 for Sale near Gretna, LA

This car is actually at Misubishi platform from japan/europe which volvo adopted and refined, which may explain its very sleek, sexy, un-volvo looks. Sadly for some, its performance doesn't quite live up to its sporty looks. The car's poor little 1.8l turbocharged engine could do with another .2 or more liters to help it along IMHO. Inside, its all volvo with a very functional and comfortable interior. Front seats are super comfortable and supportive leather. Rear seats are also supportive, but legroom is limited for some. Decent trunk size combined with fold down rear seats and fold flat fron passenger seat give this car a vast hauling capacity. On the road this car is very pleasant and effortless to drive. Its claimed 8.2 second 0-60 is not apparent due to the smooth shifting auto and quiet engine. Car seems much more lethargic than it actually is. Handling is fairly decent to harsh for its size, with more than average understeer and body roll. Fuel economy averages low to mid 20s with mostly city driving and AC on all the time. Very decent for a car this size.

Peformance: Very smooth, reasonably quick. Brakes are good, Handling nice and tight, unexpectedly good. Build Quality: All good. Appearence: Very nice, discreet. Cost of ownership: Good on fuel and cheap to insure Fun Factor: Lots of fun, more so probably because it is better than expected

T4 version so quick. Typically well built and reliable

very good accleration, the low pressure turbo adds a good long boost at bout 2,000 rpm

Fun to drive, comfortable, sporty in a world of SUV's
