Dude,
"V40s aren't proper Volvos IMHO."
I agree, the S60, V/C70 are different class.
But I had a T4 Saloon which was good fun and did 70k miles in 2 years without a hitch. So luck still seems to play a part. The two V40 2.0Ts that we have on fleet are also OK. This guy has got a "Friday" by the sound of it.
Sadly, all our Alphas were "Fridays" and quite a few VWs too!

Sounds like Friday car to me.
I had a '98 V40 1.8i for 3 years and 55,000 miles from new. Never missed a beat and not one single thing went wrong with it.

Steve,
I usually get an S40 or a V40 as a courtesy car while my proper Volvo (V70 D5 SE) is being serviced. I must say I don't like the 40 range much and agree they are in a different class to the bigger Volvos. I would suggest k.baker tries a V70 and S80 or a S60 and then he will know what a proper Volvo is like to drive.
Cheers
VD5D.
