Re: What do you think of the S40? S80 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be Gordon on  Fri Oct 27 06:38 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I have driven several hundred miles in S40's which were loaner cars while my XC has been in for service. I think it is a little disappointing. The engine responsiveness is very nice, and handling is good. I feel, however, that the engine is quite unrefined - not smooth at all, especially at idle. One loaner, in particular, was very harsh, but others have been disappointing as well. Given the choice, I would go for a used S70 instead of a new S40.
