DONT LISTEN TO THIS GUY - I wholeheartedly DISAGREE WITH YOU!!!!! I have a 2005 Volvo S40, mileage about to hit 200k, runs like a dream still. All I’ve had to replace the AC compressor (after driving from NJ-AZ in August) and replace a few spark plugs and an ignition coil. Other than that IT IS THE BEST CAR - looks wise it still looks like a modern car inside and out. It just seems like you bought a badly cared after car and must’ve not had a thorough enough inspection when buying it

Stop driving it in winter mode when you don’t need to... it wreck your trans. Winter mode locks your trans to 3rd gear

@tedbrookins 4 жыл бұрын

Hi. Winter mode should not be used often. That's why it switches off after every drive. It starts in 3rd gear to reduce torque to help accelerate in slippery conditions. It should actually be called "Snow/ice" mode. Do not drive on non wintry roads and lug the engine to accelerate. You may overheat and damage the transmission.

@@matteo_syd7271 buying a car new does not mean anything if you do not maintain it. If you went and bought a new car, but never changed the oil, you're going to have issues. It's the same with transmission fluids, tires, brakes, etc. Everything on a car needs to be maintained and some people sont factor that into the cost of a car. Then they go and buy a car they cant afford to maintain and come to youtube to say it's the manufacturers fault. I currently have a friend that has one like this car (2006 S40 T5 AWD M66 manual), and he is pushing 25lbs lg boost reliably. Now what this changes though is he has to add oil every other gas fill up. You can make any car (except for some German cars) reliable if you just maintain the vehicle. EDIT: my friends car now has 260,000 miles on the car. It has been drop dead reliable for him. It has never left him stranded.

Did you have it checked out before you bought it ? I have a 2004 S60 T5 AWD with +131K, starts everyday, just regular oil and fluid changes, no ( apparent) transmission problems, I never used "winter mode" I had to replace the fuel pump at around 120K, and the usual (brakes, etc. ) nothing leaks, rattles, I might need to update the shocks one day......it's FAST & has helped me get out of more than one tight spot.....overall I would get another one, but this one is not bad for 16 years old ( and NO car payments help out a lot right now)

This is just the result of not done maintenance to the car! Winter mode uses 3rd gear to start from stop, that is why it is so slow. The transmission should be properly serviced and the stock selenoids at the transmission's valve body should be swapped against Rostra ones. Your car is just a car that never has been serviced correctly.

I have bought two 2007 Volvo S40s and both of them have had problems. The first one ran hot on me and the head blew and the one I currently drive now is having transmission problems. When I drive it for a while the transmission services urgent notification comes on the information display. The headliner is falling, the driver side seat motor doesn't work, the passenger inside handle doesn't work, and the a lot more problems. I have put a lot of money into this car and I would tell anyone that the Volvo S40 is the worst car ever made!!!!!!

Even if you own a Bugatti Chiron and you are a careless driver then it won't last much.

@@desmondlouis5762 In terms of reliability, this car will never leave you stranded, unless you're a complete negligent car owner in general. However, a common issue with this model is the leaky tub that passes from the sunroof down to the side panel frames of the front passenger and driver's doors. Because of this, I had to tear open the carpet and suck the water out. I've made a modification of drilling a more easily accessible hole for the tubing, which in my opinion is much less stressful to worry about now. So far this leak issue is gone. With that said, that's been my only legitimate complaint. Every car will have it's issues, but from previous cars I've owned, Volvo is so much easier to care for because you don't have to worry as much about it. The only other thing is the spark plugs - having to change them requires a bit of work (compared to my previous car, an Audi A4). But sure beats the headache of having to connect the audi to the OBD computer every second weekend.

But I can tell that all petrol engine variants except T5 2.5l automatic are absolutely phenomenal cars they are so well built and reliable you have to have hands to grow from same place where your legs grow to get them to condition where everything is falling apart. So it is really unfair to make a video of absolutely abused car that have never seen fresh oil or any maintenance and tell that it is bad or worst car to buy. To be honest this is the car on the c1 platform so it is ford focus mk2 mazda 3 and all of them are super reliable

Everything that you showed was staged apart from the interior cloth you failed to mention how old this car was and how many miles this car had done. And how many previous owners had this car. Plus how much you picked this car up for. If your going to do a review show the log book so we can see how many services the car had. I've got 2 volvo's one from brand new 04 with only 83.000 and still drives as if it was brand new. With no knocks nor messages. So what I'm saying is if you don't maintain your car don't expect it to drive as if it was brand new🇬🇧 your review on this car is very unfair and not professional. 😳
