Drove all the S40's yesterday...'06, 2 '08's and a couple of '09's and wasn't impressed with the power seats. The Sonata I test drove after wards had better power seats than the Volvo's actually, very similar to the Camcord twins i rented in early '09. The '09 S40's drove very smoothly i must admit...very seemless performance with ample thrust through the power band. That I enjoyed tremendously. But the extra $ just wasn't worth it to me right now and I'd be just as happy with the '09 Sonata if need be. Did notice interior & exterior issues with the used S40's though, even the '09's with under 5k on the clocks. Paint issues and fabric stains with dents in the metal like door handles...not acceptable for the $ they wanted actually. Maybe I'd do a S40 in a few years but new, not used. Was very impressed with the Sonata though. Very smooth also up the power band and once I manipulated the power seat, it was like heaven. With the 3k rebate and possibly getting $11k to $12k for my Civic, it might make it worthwhile. But still in a holding pattern for the time being. Thanks for your help...you were pretty right on with the values you gave me. Thanks again...it's always appreciated! The Sandman

Not sure about the size though and I'm assuming it's a bit pricey...$...compared to the S40. Do prefer the Civic/S40 size car actually. A better fit for me and don't really need a larger car as two of the three kids have their own wheels now and just a matter of time for the third child. But I now know what I like and don't like so there's really no immediate rush. If I fall into something, then by all means I'd pull the trigger. And I'll soon becoming in to a nice chunk of change so that's a consideration also. The Sandman

Max and Q beat me to it. Try the S60 before you decide. I was looking at Volvos in the fall, and was seriously considering the V50 (same as S40), but of all things, I didn't like the seats! They seemed a bit smaller, and were much harder. Now the 60 has the traditional Volvo thrones. No idea how "ample" your girth is, but unless you are on the smaller side, I expect they wil lfit better. Pelnty of adjustment (and even better, 3 way memory so you never lose your perfect setting). The car itself is slightly bigger than a 40, but still compact. Roomier up front, about a wash in the back seat. Pricing is tough to predict, but a slightly used one can be had fairly cheap. Might be more than the 40, but you get the low pressure turbo, and some more goodies. Also better (per CR) reliability. I just saw (on another discussion oard) an '09 demo (with the Volvo 5/60+ stuff), MSRP 35K, 5,000 miles, for ~22K. Nice titanium color too. |

Replying to: sandman_6472 (Jul 06, 2009 4:08 pm) As long as you have the time to do all these test drives, couldn't hurt to at least check out an S60......or an Audi A4, or bmw 3.....do as much comparison as possible..... |
