The 2008 2009 Volvo S40 is an upscale compact sedan with luxurious
interior and super sporty exteriors. Volvo's smallest and
most affordable vehicle, the 2008 2009 Volvo S40 sedan offers impressive
levels of safety equipment. The 2008 2009 Volvo S40 increases its
horsepower, drops in a standard CD/cassette player, and shows
some attractive displays. The S40 shifts through a 5-speed
automatic transmission and runs a turbo 4-cyl engine with
170 hp. If you are looking for the most up to date specs,
information and a great 2008 2009 Volvo S40 picture, we hope that
you find our 2008 2009 Volvo s40 review enjoyable and informative.
We took our S40 for a test run and found that Volvo has tuned
the suspension on the S40 for a fairly stiff ride, though
comfort doesn't take a rear seat to performance.
By allowing for the acquisition of a large number of optional
features, the 2008 2009 Volvo S40s price is kept affordable. Standard
features are not scarce and include:
automatic climate control
a ski pass-through
CD player.
As we mentioned, in the new 2008 2009 Volvo S40 there are loads
of optional equipment like power seats and leather trim. Some
features are included in packages:
- A Climate Package includes stability control and heated
front seats.
- Opting for the Premium Package adds a sunroof, a better
audio system, a power driver seat, simulated wood accents,
leather upholstery and a trip computer.
- The Sport package gets you front and rear spoilers, aluminum
interior accents, leather/cloth-upholstered sport seats
and 16-inch wheels.
All this luxury and safety in addition to impeccable 2008 2009
Volvo S40 styling makes the S40 a true automotive value.
The front wheel drive S40 is equipped with a turbocharged
170-horsepower 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine powered through
a five-speed automatic. The 2008 2009 Volvo S40 demonstrates an
impressive safety profile. Inflatable curtain head-protection
airbags deploy for front and rear passengers while side airbags
further protect front passengers and the usual dual-stage
front airbags add to a list of airbags that seem to pop from
every surface. Adding to an already generous level of safety
are whiplash-reducing front seats and seatbelt pre-tensioners.
Stability control is available as part of the climate package
while four-wheel antilock disc brakes are standard throughout
the line. The IIHS' frontal offset crash test has bestowed
S40 with its "good" rating.
2008 2009 Volvo S40 styling is punctuated with luxury and value.
A lower-mid range vehicle such as the 2008 2009 Volvo S40 sports
solid, supportive front seats and the interior materials of
of high quality. The ergonomic setup that combines an upright
seating position with logical, easy-to-read instrumentation
rates the Volvo S40 high comfort scores. Thoughtfully deployed
are the passenger space and driving control placement. Rear
seating is comfortable, and as spacious as other luxury sedans.
