Road TestCar reviews - Volvo - S40 - 1.8 sedanVolvo modelsOverviewVolvo's first-generation S40 was built alongside its Mitsubishi Carisma twin5 Jul 2001 VOLVO'S pre-GST price realignment policy is nowhere more eloquently expressed than with its new 1.8-litre S40 and V40 series. The new "little" Volvo comes in at the $40,000 mark with no differentiation between station wagon and sedan prices. For the money, the Volvo doesn't ask for any real sacrifices except the less powerful engine. The announcement of the 1.8-litre Volvos also coincides with a mini update that has finally given the car a half-decent suspension. So the S40 handles and rides better, although it still rates only average in its class.
