Re: Should I buy one? S40-V40 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Yannis Alatzas on  Fri Feb 9 14:31 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hold o a second....just because the car has a Japanese influence (which is questionable at best) you think that it is a Mitsubishi? Can you tell me which Mitsubishi part(s) does it have other than the turbocharger??? I didn't think so...

Are you aware of the fact that despite both the Mitsubishi Carisma and the S40 being produced at the same factory, the Volvos have had a minimum of ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE M - A - J - O - R modifications in order to pass Volvo's standards regarding drivetrain quality, smoothness, suspension specs and safety standards???

What other car w/ BETTER quality, safer, quicker and w/ a 4yr-50,000 miles bumper to bumper warranty can you get for less than $23,500??? You can find cars with ONE of these atributes but not all!

Yes, for the price of a LOADED S40 one can get a very BASIC S60...but if you are looking for a nice, nimble and cute car, the S40 runs rings around the S60 (in those forms).
