Buying a second hand s40/v50
hi, new to this forum,
I am looking at buying a second hand volvo S40 or V50 2.0D. I have test driven a S40 but not really sure what problem areas I should be looking for. How does the V50 compare handeling wise to the S40? is it worth having the space in the back? Cheers Chris |

I've recently bought an S40 after years of hatchbacks and estate cars, and have to say if like me you put a lot of large stuff in the back of the car then you might find the boot a bit limiting. I've been able to get most things into the S40 without any major problems but have been caught out a couple of times. The biggest thing I miss is a rear wiper, sounds like a fairly minor issue but I don't think I'll buy another saloon just for that reason alone. Really like the car all the same though.
